3 Healthy Habits to Abide By

By Virginia Laird

Implementing healthy habits as part of your life can prove to be overwhelming. With a wide variety of habits from which to choose, finding the ones that best suit your lifestyle can be a struggle. Research indicates that there are some healthy habits that are easier to add into your lifestyle than others. Some habits you should consider including right away include:

  • Reduce your sugar consumption 
  • Avoid drinking too much alcohol
  • Make water your beverage 

Reduce Your Sugar Consumption

Although anything sweet happens to be my favorite food group, it is not wise to consume too much sugar. There is a plethora of research proving that sugar is detrimental to health and wellness. This substance has been known to be addictive, make weight loss more difficult, and cause issues with diabetes. Because sugar can wreak havoc on your overall health, it is necessary that you learn to control your consumption of this substance. Most healthcare experts say that limiting yourself to one sweet treat each week is best.

Avoid Drinking Too Much Alcohol 

Alcohol is another substance which can create trouble for your health. For those who struggle with limiting their consumption, it is best to attempt to give this up altogether. Still, there is a way to enjoy a drink, from time to time, without allowing it to inhibit your health. Research suggests that consuming as little as one glass of alcohol daily can begin to take its toll on your health. Alcohol is littered with carbohydrates and sugar which can cause a great deal of weight gain. Alcohol is also known to cause you to struggle with blood pressure issues, as well as heart disease. Consider today limiting your consumption of alcohol.

Make Water Your Beverage

Although water is not the most exciting beverage to choose, it is the best beverage when it comes to your health and wellness. There is an expansive amount of research that suggests that using water can help you in a variety of ways. Water helps maintain proper hydration which keeps the functions of the body working properly. It also helps to manage cravings for sweets. Consuming plenty of water can help you with weight management. This same research suggests that you should consume at least half of your body weight in ounces each day to maintain proper hydration and function of the body.

With this information in hand you are now ready to begin choosing healthy lifestyle habits to start improving your overall wellness.
