If you want to treat yourself better, remember that self-care is a method. Well, 1. You have to keep at it and make it a regular part of your life, so that self-care becomes a lifestyle.
If you've been feeling tired and overworked lately, don't worry. 2. The first thing you do when you're feeling tired is to replenish. You'll have more energy, better skin and health if you just drink more water.
When I'm not feeling my best, whether I'm' feeling down or stressed, 3. Doing sports or even light stretching at home will make you full of energy again. You get both physical and mental benefits from this too, like sleeping better and feeling inner peace.
4. So treat your body by eating whole plant-based foods like fruits and vegetables, because those foods will make you feel light and energized. 5. On the other hand, eating junk food will make you feel heavy and slow. You might want to eat very much when you're not feeling great, but remember that that immediate satisfaction is just short-term and you'll only feel worse afterward.
Now you know these, why not begin from now on?

Record fires sweeping across the Amazon this month have been catching the world's attention, because scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will make the climate worse and threaten biodiversity.
As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon is often called "the lungs of the world". It is also home to about 3 million plants and animals, and 1 million native people. Rainforests play an important role in the world's ecosystem because they can take in heat. They can also store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, making that less carbon is given off, mitigating the effects of climate change.
"Any forest destroyed is a threat to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity," said Thomas Lovejoy. "The most serious threat is that a lot of carbon goes into the air," he added. "In the center of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon must be protected," Antonio said.
Data from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August this year from a year ago. "The forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have dropped between 20 and 30 percent compared to the last 12 months," Carlos Nobre said.
