A Fresh Look at your Holistic Health

A Fresh Look at your Holistic Health

Initially, we discussed 13 lifestyle habits that are all important in order to have a good quality of life. However, we understand that this may have been overwhelming and difficult to remember for some. Therefore, we have condensed our list to 5 core lifestyle habits that are essential for maintaining good health and overall well-being.

Eat Smart

When we say eat smart we don’t mean go full-on vegan/vegetarian or track all of your calorie consumptions, but to just eat cleaner and make simple sacrifices from time to time. Which can be as easy as not getting greasy fast foods so much and just prioritize on high quality ingredients and eating well-balanced meals.

Daily Exercise

It is recommended that individuals to engage in regular daily physical activity. Walking is a simple and effective way to increase physical activity levels and improve overall health. Failing to get your daily steps and spending extended periods sitting on your office chair or couch can have negative impacts on your health, potentially worse than smoking. Unfortunately, this issue is not being discussed enough, which may contribute to the decreasing life expectancy rates in the United States and increasing rates of chronic diseases like obesity and cancer. Pro medical tip, taking a short 2 - 5 minute walk after consuming a large meal can benefit your body significantly, reducing blood sugar and insulin levels.

Quit Bad Habits

While it's natural to want to try new experiences, some substances can be addictive and harmful to your health. It's important to understand what you are putting in your body and recognize that anything that isn't made by nature may not be good for you, and can have long-term negative effects on your physical, mental, financial, and social health. Quitting or reducing your usage of harmful substances is essential for your overall well-being. Instead, seek enjoyment in life's positive experiences and avoid the negative consequences that come with unhealthy habits.

Be Productive

There's nothing inherently wrong with being an introvert, but when it reaches a point where you lack social connections and live a repetitive lifestyle, it can become problematic and lead to chronic health issues such as depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Research has indicated that loneliness increases the risk of suicide significantly, as humans are social animals and need social connections for good mental health. Therefore, it's crucial to prioritize social connections and find ways to engage with others, even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone as an introvert.

Health Checkup

If you haven't had a medical checkup in the past year, it's highly recommended that you schedule an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible. Regular checkups are essential for maintaining good health and can help identify any underlying illnesses or cancers that may not have visible symptoms. Taking proactive steps towards your health can improve your quality of life and increase the likelihood of early detection and successful treatment of any potential health concerns. So get checked out before it's too late!
