What are some achievable health goals to try this New Year?
In order to avoid getting frustrated with maintaining a steady pace for achieving unrealistic goals, here are some moderately easy ways to reach a healthy lifestyle:
Rethink Dieting:?Dieting doesn’t need to cut back on all the foods we enjoy. It can be planned to include fully-balanced meals that provide fiber, protein, carbs, and fat in regulated amounts. That way, it is possible to enjoy ‘guilty-pleasures’ while also providing a healthy intake to the body.
Move more and sit less:?Keeping physically active can go a long way in letting the body become less lethargic. This benefits proper Thyroid functioning as well, thereby preventing a build-up of unwanted fat. Moving every 5 min per hour is doable, isn’t it?
Avoid screen-time at least an hour before sleeping:?This helps in having a more qualitative sleep while also allowing the body to cool down without the added stress.
Avoid negative body-talk:?To talk positively about oneself does a lot of good to people’s mindset. This prevents body shaming at a personal level, thereby encouraging others to avoid saying negative comments about it as well.
Maintain good Oral Hygiene:?This is a thing that’s already on a daily to-do list since waking up! All it needs is to be made sustainable - include massaging gums and flossing to avoid tartar and food build-up. Healthy oral environment is a great way to avoid heart and gut disorders in the long run.
It is highly important to know why a person is making a particular resolution! Is it due to external influence - by a friend or a social media trend or something else? Or is it something that came from within?
It is suggested that if an idea started due to self-realization and that adds meaning to life, it has more chance of succeeding that something that began due to peer-pressure.
