7 Habits of Healthy People

Are you ready for a healthier, happier you?

Simple lifestyle changes can make a world of difference. Small, sustained changes can result in great improvements. When beginning to adopt these new changes, be gentle on yourself, take baby-steps by choosing a habit you can do most easily. As you succeed, try more challenging ones. Honor your efforts and remember your dedication will serve you for life!

1. Eat a Natural Foods Diet

A diet high in vegetables, whole grains, beans, fruits, fresh nuts and seeds is the goal. Fish grown in their natural habitat, are also nutritious and can be a good source of essential fatty acids. Free-range, low-fat animal sources can also be enjoyed on occasion. Remember to eat in moderation, chewing your food thoroughly to maximize digestion and achieve natural regularity.

2. Adopt a Daily Exercise Routine

Try to find at least 20-30 minutes a day for a physical activity. For many it’s best to find a routine that raises your heart and respiration rate thus improving circulation. For others it may be necessary to find something low-impact. Whatever the case, find something you enjoy doing either by yourself or with others. If it’s fun, you’re likely to continue for life.

3. Get Sufficient Rest

Early to bed and early to rise is a well-founded proverb. It’s important to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, in complete darkness, every night. In addition, taking breaks during your day reduces stress and fatigue. Moderation and tranquility help sustain relaxation of mind and body.

4. Fill Your Heart with Joy and Love

Engage in activities that develop a calm mind and compassionate heart. Surrender the past and the future, but enjoy the present. Sharing your love is profoundly therapeutic. Laugh frequently and heartily. Good belly laughs every day can directly improve your well-being.

5. Drink Pure, Clean Water

6 to eight glasses of spring or filtered water throughout the day keeps your cells hydrated and enables your cells to flush out any impurities. Too much water taken with meals can interfere with digestion. All the more reason to take a water-break during your work day!

6. Breathe in the Fresh Air and Sunlight

Get fresh air everyday and remember deep breaths taken in from the belly renew the body, mind and spirit. For most people, exposure to moderate amounts of natural sunlight is very beneficial. In the summer, choose morning and late afternoon sun to minimize UV ray exposure. Light waves passing thorough the optic nerve help regulate hormone production, so, if possible, remove your glasses when in the sun.

7. Connect to a Spiritual Source

Believing in God that is wiser, more compassionate and powerful than yourself, is very comforting and can enhance your sense of inner peace not merely on emotional or feeling level but in reality as He is there in reality so is the real help from Him. Prayer and meditation are indispensable both in times of difficulty and to show gratitude for all that you have been given.
