What are your plans for 2023? Are you prepared to adopt healthy lifestyle habits in the upcoming year?
A healthy lifestyles is important because it helps to improve and maintain overall physical and mental well-being. It reduces the risk of various chronic diseases, enhances energy levels, promotes better sleep, and supports a longer and more fulfilling life.
1. Are you drinking enough water?
Water maintains a functioning body system properly and has many important jobs.
Metabolising body fat
Suppressing appetite
Boosting your metabolism
Eliminating toxins from our body
Maintaining our moisture-rich organs (skin, eyes, mouth and nose)
Normalising blood pressure
Aiding digestion and carrying nutrients & oxygen to our cells
Regulating body temperature and maintaining electrolyte balance
Flushing bacteria from our bladder
Protecting organs, tissues and joints
Preventing constipation
2. Are you taking enough fibre?
One of the best benefits of high-fibre diets is helping your weight control.
Because you feel full longer after a high-fibre meal, you eat less.
This is crucial to managing your body weight to make you feel full longer, so you don’t exceed the calories you don’t need.
Generally, processed foods such as fast-food burgers don’t contain much fibre and don’t make you feel full. You still feel hungry even if you have already had a burger meal.
Let’s try to take 1 & ½ cups of vegetables & fruits for every meal, full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for optimal healthy diets.
“Women are recommended 25gm of fibre per day and 30-38gm for men.”
3. Keep your posture straight.
According to sports therapist Parnell,
Posture compression can make you look fat, even if you are not overweight. That is the most skin we will ever get when we reach maximum height and weight. Your body tends to maintain the amount of skin that will fit over your skeleton frame when the frame is most erect.
However, your body frame begins to implode and collapse with poor posture. The result is skin and fat that sags and falls in on its collapse, and the skin will lie flat and firm in the upright standing posture.
The body uses fat and water to balance weight, especially in a woman’s body. For example, a woman leans or slouches forward with her upper body (including head, arms, and breasts), and the lower body seeks balance by adding extra pounds of water and fat to the hips and thighs.
It’s fascinating.
4. Did you have enough sleep last night?
Having a night of quality sleep is essential for a healthy lifestyle and weight management. Studies have shown that poor-quality sleep during weight management can interrupt weight loss and encourage overeating.
7-9 hours is recommended per night by studies.
Uninterrupted deep sleep is essential in maintaining healthy bowel movement behaviour.
In addition, studies found that total microbiome diversity was positively correlated with increased good-quality sleep time.
7-9 hours is recommended per night by studies.
5. Are you taking care of your feeling?
So, what is the best way to maintain healthy emotions?
Ask yourself how you are feeling.
Look for reasons if you feel unfair or wrong.
Express your natural feeling and thoughts to people.
Don’t do it if you don’t want it, and don’t hide from any excuses.
Being active such as doing regular exercise or yoga
Have a good relationship with your friends or family members. You can talk about things
Me time such as giving you present or spending money for yourself or having a relaxing teatime.
Your emotions must be taken care of, not ignored or blamed.
