There is nothing that can impact your life more than implementing good habits.

There is nothing that can impact your life more than implementing good habits.

But with so much advice out there we often do not know where to start so we buy the diet books, join the gym and then end up doing nothing at all.

I am going to make it easy for you, here are six core principles of healthy living that most effectively add years to lives, and life to years.??

  • Sleep

Sleep is key to all health and wellbeing.?Are you getting enough??You need to be getting 7–9 hours sleep a night.?Our bodies all?require?long periods of?sleep?in order to restore and rejuvenate, to grow muscle, repair tissue and synthesise hormones.?

  • Food

Eat whole, real foods and avoid processed foods.?If you do this not only will you never have to count calories again but more importantly you are significantly reducing your risk of all chronic disease.

  • Movement

Regular physical activity at moderate intensity will assist weight control as well as reduce cancer risks,, simply this means walking 10,000 steps a day.?If you are an athlete then of course train hard but over exercising can actually do more harm than good.

  • Stimulants

Sorry you are not going to like this one but we all know the more you reduce caffeine, alcohol, smoking?the better.?

  • Stress

Stress is an inevitable part of life, but you can improve the way you respond to stress and avoid / change some of the situations that create negative stress. Breathwork is a proven technique to help reduce feelings of stress when we cannot remove the stressors. Matt Bagwell is an Advanced Breathwork Instructor who holds regular free classes on instagram live.

  • ?Love

Clinical trials demonstrate that those with loving relationships are far less vulnerable to chronic disease than those without.

?So rather than saying “I will get healthy” it is time to say “I AM healthy”.

?And if you are ever unsure what to do then ask yourself?“What would a healthy person do?” If you act like a healthy person long enough you will become one.

These are excellent principles Michelle Flynn. It seems so simple in writing, I would say it's also important to be compassionate with yourself and give yourself time to get there - it's better to be doing even one of these things, than none at all. In your experience it is harder for but people to get started with anew, healthier lifestyle or is the main challenge with sticking with it?
