Your health is fine today, what amazing news! Keep up the good work. Good health is maintained by healthy habits. Do you know the secrets to being healthy? We do.

We’ve made our top 7 picks of healthy habits to share with you. Check if you follow all of them.

1. Movement

Walking, standing up from your desk regularly, playing outside, and stretching can make your brain work better, and it can improve your mood and self-esteem due to the increased production of endorphins.  

2. Food

Maintain healthy food habits: eat a lot of low-fat food, vegetables and fruits, eat when you’re hungry and at least 3 times per day, and drink a sufficient amount of clean water.

Avoid alcohol, junk food, sweets, sugars and too much salt.

3. Offline

Too many gadgets have a negative effect on your creativity, memory, and productivity. Your brain needs a break from staying connected 24/7.  

4. Breathing

Just a few moments of breathing deeply can calm your mind and lower your blood pressure and heart rate, as well as manage your stress.

5. Sleep

Have 6-8 hours of sleep every night, maintain good sleep and you will feel much better every day, giving your body more resistance to deal with stress and diseases.

6. Life-work balance

Give yourself a short vacation once a day - lie back, turn on the music you like, grab your cat, hug it, and relax.  

7. Forgiveness

Being angry at someone may increase your heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, or even deprive you of sleep. Forgiving a person that made you angry or sad is the simplest decision you can make to avoid negativity-related stresses.
