Being healthy is not something that can be achieved overnight. You really have to dedicated yourself into doing it. There is not really any magical formula or crazy technique for this. Any books, diets, or special techniques out there that work are all really doing one thing: causing you to develop a habit of doing healthy actions. They offer encouraging words, and prove to you results…and really, they’re more or less motivating you to become healthier. Why do those, pay money, when you can simply develop your own good habits? So I’ve done some research and found out some of the habits of healthy people. Here are the ones I feel are Top 5 habits of healthy people.
- Eat Breakfast Everyday
Eating breakfast is healthy because they tend to take in more nutrients: vitamins, minerals, less fat, less cholesterol.
Every parent wants healthy kids, what parent doesn’t right? From the moment of conception, most mothers just pray for a healthy and normal baby. It’s easy enough to keep babies healthy. We choose what they eat, and we can keep them active. The challenge begins when they become old enough to walk on their own, talk, and make some decisions. Developing kids healthy habits is a challenge many parents face everyday, here are some great tips to keeping your kids healthy in all aspects!
- Fish and Omega-3
The AHA recommends at least two servings of fish each week.
Fish are known to be high in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 is known to be very healthy for the heart, and there’s even evidence that it can soothe an overactive immune system; there seems to be a link between more omega-3 in your diet, and lower symptoms of allergies, asthma, eczema, and other autoimmune disorders.
Most people actually don’t get enough sleep; something like two-thirds of adults suffer from sleep problems, and many don’t get enough hours of sleep to stay awake/alert. Getting enough sleep is extremely vital for your emotional and physical well-being. People who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to develop psychiatric problems. Lack of sleep also negatively affects memory, learning, and logical reasoning.
- Great Friends and Family
Your friends can save your life. How? Four things: They can provide information on any of your symptoms, which can prompt you to see a doctor, they offer emotional support when ever you need it, they can help provide physical support for you when you need to visit doctors…and of course, they help offer a sense of belonging.
Do I really need to outline the benefits of exercising? We’ve all heard it: the myriads of health benefits, the reduction in various diseases (obesity, diabetes, etc.), increased general well-being, both mentally and physically. This one is a no brainer really. Exercise is key in losing weight, and it’s also key in reducing heart disease. The only ‘problem’ is it requires commitment.
