1.Healthy Eating Habits
Go Green!
This does not only apply to our environment but our diets as well!
Remember, what goes inside, reflects what's outside. Developing healthy eating habits, consuming a balanced diet, resuming responsibility for a dietary routine, and being responsible for your green regime can make all the difference in the world.
A frequent intake of junk foods, carbohydrates, fats, and oil-rich daily bread can cause several ailments ranging from an upset stomach and constipation to strokes, heart diseases, and diabetes.
Thus, make sure that you consume every essential protein, vitamin, and mineral in portions equally proportional to your body's requirement.
2.Regular Exercise
To no surprise, the activity level measure at the end of the adolescent period has been found to be hauntingly low. By the age of 19, these measures are compatible and comparable with those of a60-year-old. Again, not very surprising!
Getting your body to go through the huff-and-puff of exercising is not appealing at all, we know. But trust me on this, having to go through the huff-and-puff of exhaustion and incapacitated organs at 60 is much much worse.
Getting rid of the tough grasp that the couch has on us is tough, but trying to get rid of the hospital bed, later on, is going to be terrible. Exercising and working out in a way, any way can help you evade heart diseases, strokes, colon cancer, and much more!
It is also a great way to address and treat depression and high blood pressure. With the online world at our fingertips, you can also look forgym equipment online and set up a gym at home.
Just get Up and Get Going!
3.Turn into a Teetotaller
A teetotaller is a person who completely abstains from the consumption of alcohol. While we are not pointing towards the complete elimination of alcohol from our lives, keeping a check on the level of consumption is extremely important!
Another brutal addiction is that of smoking! Even if it isn't an addiction, it can leave distressing effects upon your family and the one's around you.
The line between controlled regular consumption and uncontrolled fatal addiction is very fine and takes little to no time to blur out.
Rehab is hard, Recovery is harder, but Regret is the hardest. Another set of 3 R's you should live by!
4.De-stress
Self-care is rare, but it's there;
Follow it and your life will be a happy affair!
Often, we find ourselves in a situation where life feels like a race with you in the second-last position with your mental health behind.
Here's a little piece of advice for you- your life is a journey, your journey. You love on your own terms and laugh on your terms. So why not live on your own terms?
Do a mask, read a book, binge-watch a series, groove to your favorite music, practice meditation, catch up with an old friend, spend time with your family, run a movie marathon, take a warm bubble bath or simply just go to sleep. Do it for your own sake!
5.Take the stairs
There's always an easy way and a right way. The push of an elevator button is easy, but the journey up some flights of stairs is exhilarating!
Choosing the stairs helps you remain active, stay in shape, and one day, possibly help you outrun a burglar.
6.Seal the Sugar and Salt Sprinkler
It's high time that you put away the sugar container from near the counter and the salt sprinkler on the table. Out of sight, out of mind, remember?
Excessive sugar intake is the main cause behind fatty liver diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, weight gain, etc., whereas, extra salt intake results in high blood pressure, stomach cancer, kidney stones, and heart failures.
