3 Habits That Can Totally Change Your Health

By Genevieve Cunningham

Living a healthy life should be one of your top goals. The simple act of being healthy can enhance your life in so many ways. Besides feeling better about your body, good health can also improve your perception of life, help you stay involved in activities, boost energy and motivation, and keep you mentally fit. While a great many people are generally healthy, you may be missing out on some major benefits by skipping a few very important habits. Take a look at these three habits that might boost your health and your life in ways you never imagined.

Adjust Your Sleeping Habits

You probably don’t even realize how much of a difference good sleep can really make in your life. Since most of us don’t get enough, and probably haven’t gotten enough since we were children, we don’t know how good it feels to be well rested. Adequate amounts of sleep can make your entire body more efficient, improve mental focus, boost energy levels, and so much more. To get better sleep, you should set an early wake-up time, go to bed at the same time every night, sleep in the dark without distractions, and avoid afternoon stimulants.

Get More Water

Water not only fuels your body and mind, but it helps to keep it clean. It will push out toxins through digestion as well as through your skin, and leave you feeling healthier. Many people have a hard time drinking enough water, but the good news is that you can get water through other means. Adjust your diet to include water heavy foods (cucumber, celery, watermelon, etc.). Even though it’s tough, you should also get as much water as you can through drinking. Just add a cup at a time until you’re drinking the proper amount for your weight (which is about half your weight in ounces).

Stop Multitasking

This is something that we all try to do, but not a single person is successful with. Our brains are not wired to multitask. We think we’re doing it, but we’re actually switching from one thing to the next, giving each item less attention than it deserves. If you can learn to do one thing at a time, you’ll enhance the health of your mind. You’ll be able to give each task your undivided attention, which can greatly lower stress levels and anxiety, which in turn boosts your physical health. It will be tempting, but fight the urge to multitask, and you may be putting yourself ahead of the game.

Improving your health is important. Sometimes it feels like a difficult or even impossible task, but it’s not. You just have to take it day by day, habit by habit, and make changes that will stick. Use these three tips as a guide to boosting your health and getting your life moving down a positive, healthier path.
