Healthy Habits that People of All Ages Can Adopt to

Lisa Franchi April 28, 2017

Who says staying fit and healthy is costly? Or who says it takes a lot of effort? If you do the following things, achieving your health and fitness goals will never be that hard.

Focus on a hearty, filling breakfast. 

Think skipping breakfast can save you from gaining so many calories? Think again! Research after research shows that eating breakfast – the one which is calorie-dense – is the secret to moderate daily calorie consumption. In order to adopt healthy eating habits, first thing’s first. The trick is to choose foods that are healthy and would keep you full for a longer time. Also, focus on energy-giving foods to support your activities throughout the day. Eggs, oats, fruits, some nuts, and healthy fats are good at keeping your body energetic and full.  

More vegetables. 

Your meal should have more vegetables than meat and processed foods. Veggies are packed with vitamins, nutrients, fibre, and antioxidants that your body needs. The great news is that you’d find so many cool recipes out there that will take your veggies to a whole new level, even your not-so favourite ones! 

Keep walking. 

If you don’t have time to go to the gym and do hardcore workouts, do yourself a favour – walk more at least. Waking is the simplest and easiest form of exercise that works out your whole body. Park at least 10-minutes walking distance away from your office. Take your dog out for a morning walk, have a stroll around the neighbourhood during your free time. Walking is not only good for your physical health. It boosts your mental health too!

Cultivate mindfulness. 

Meditation is something that you’ve probably heard a dozen times in health shows. And it’s not a hype. The benefits of meditation to your mind and body are truly incredible! Meditation is a practise that helps clear and reset your mind, and cultivate self-awareness and emotional regulation. Sitting in with yourself, reflecting and just being in the present moment is truly uplifting and stress-relieving. 

Have fun. 

Work hard, play hard! Fun is a word many adults forget about. They spend most of their hours and days working and earning for a living that there’s no more time for fun, relaxation and leisure.  Don’t forget to soak up the sun, drink the stars, and celebrate your victories. Let the child in you play and be candid and free once more. You deserve it. 

Sleep some more. 

In this fast-paced and busy world, sleep has become a luxury many people couldn’t afford anymore. You have to take conscious efforts to ensure that you are getting enough sleep each night. Consider taking a power nap during the day too. Sleep restores your mind and body, and refuels your energy for another day of work, fun and adventure! 

There you go – simple habits that you can do to stay fit and healthy. No more expensive diet pills and fads. Once these become part of your lifestyle, you will be ready to add some more habits that will take your health to the next level!
