6 Effective Habits of Healthy Humans
Fun Fact:
Most healthy, fit humans don’t follow strict food rules or intense exercise programs to lead a healthy, fulfilling life.
Instead, they create habits that are easy to implement most of the time.
Check out 6 effective habits of most healthy humans:
1. They exercise or move consistently. This could mean hard-core workouts if that’s your thing, or it could simply mean taking walks. However, most healthy people consistently move their bodies.
2. They process stress or emotions without needing food or alcohol. Whether it be journaling, drawing, crying, dancing, or ANYTHING else, healthy humans find ways to process stress and emotions that don’t revolve around food and alcohol.
3. They plan and prepare most meals. This doesn’t mean they spend 5 hours on a Sunday meal-prepping, but most healthy people have a loose plan of the healthy meals they plan to cook for the week.
4. They sleep 7-9 hours per night. I can’t stress the importance of this one enough. Healthy humans prioritize sleep, and they understand they function better (both physically and mentally) with proper sleep.
5. They mindfully enjoy favorite (non-nutritious) foods. That’s right — healthy people enjoy non-nutritious foods, too! They simply enjoy them occasionally and in controlled portions. Living a healthy life doesn’t mean depriving yourself of chocolate and wine… Instead, it means knowing what foods are worth it to you, and when to enjoy them.
6. They don’t give up after a tough day. All healthy humans (myself included 🙋🏻♀️) have days where we fall off the bandwagon. Whether it be overeating, or eating too many non-nutritious foods, leading a healthy life does NOT mean being perfect with your nutrition and movement choices. Instead, healthy humans get right back on track after a tough day.
