Five Healthy Habits That Will Change Your Life

“We make our habits, and then our habits make us” Our habits have a significant influence on our way of life, energy, mindset, and, most importantly, our wellbeing. Being healthy comes from within.  It may be time to focus on ourselves. And a little inspiration never hurts. So, let’s talk about five healthy habits that may change your life.

1) Keep calm and drink water.

We’re told to stay hydrated, but do we? Drinking water is recommended when we wake up. Since we already wake up dehydrated, it is important to get hydrated in the morning especially before reaching for that first cup of coffee. H2O aids in the digestion of food. A gallon of water is equivalent to eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day and recommended by us at Urban Body Fix.  Drink more water!  Your skin, hair, mind and body will thank you.

2) Meditate, Exercise and Rejuvenate

It is important that we strengthen our physical well-being. Yoga improves strength and stamina, lowers risk factors for heart disease, decreases stress, and improves mood. A simple yoga practice for a minimum of 10-15 minutes, will benefit your wellbeing and fill you with positivity which releases toxic energy. Exercise has been shown to minimize the risk of a variety of diseases and increases quality of life. This even lowers the risk of developing arthritis. Create an inspiring playlist to get you into the right groove to maximum results.  Tip – Have a consistent workout routine.  Most important thing is to laugh a lot, it burns calories! 

3) If exercise is king, Nutrition is QUEEN.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be a chore, and once you get into a routine, there's no turning back, and you’ll be glad you stuck to it. A fruitful life needs a sufficient amount of greens, with balanced amounts of protein, vitamin, carbohydrate, mineral, and fruit intake. Supplements often have our back when we don’t get enough nutrients. Urban Body Fix’s Vivoquin, a gluten-free supplement, containing a synergistic blend of highly concentrated omega III fatty acids, in triglyceride form, paired with the powerful Thymoquin‡ (black cumin seed extract oil), supports a well-balanced immune system. It aids eye health and results in healthy skin.

Tip – Two rules to be healthy. Rule no. 1, Be consistent with a healthy diet. Rule no. 2, Never break rule no. 1.  

4) Be Creative, start a hobby.

We need to take a break from our busy schedules and channel our inner Picasso!  Painting helps  release frustration and negativity while also improving hand-eye coordination. You don't have to be an artist to share your interests. Whatever you choose, enjoy it.  Whether it’s photography, dancing, cooking, quilting or taking that scenic route, there is art to be found in all of these activities.  

5) Be Organized and be positive

“Cleanliness is next to Godliness” Implementing this phrase is advantageous since the environment will transmit those vibes. It will give you a good vibe if everything is organized, tidy, and clean. Begin with small steps, such as keeping a tidy environment, organizing the kitchen, preparing meals, freeing up some space, writing things down, keeping only what is essential, creating schedules, staying true to deadlines, and, most importantly, not purchasing unnecessary items.
