* 7 Habits for a healthier life*
Better health and happiness — I want it, you want it, we all want it.
Healthy habits can easily put your health and productivity on autopilot.
Adopt some of these simple habits today and start creating an epic life your future self will be proud of.
* 1 Stand More*
Your body is designed for regular movement.
If you sit behind a desk for a very long time, you’ve got to change that.
Sitting for too long will negatively impact the quality of your life and work.
Within 90 seconds of standing up (if you’ve been sitting for too long), the muscular and cellular systems that process blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol get activated.
*2. Sleep is not a luxury*
A consistent seven to nine-hour sleep is one of the most important and effective things you can do for your brain and body.
Consistent good sleep allows you to have plenty of energy for your day’s work.
*3. Move for at least 30 minutes a day*

Always keep moving.
Your mind, body, and waistline will thank you.
It’s one of the most important decisions you can ever take for your health.
It’s also a great way to combat stress and turn you into a calmer person.
Exercise doesn’t have to be anything big but it has be consistent.
And most importantly, make it a pleasurable activity. There’s no sense to run if you don’t like running. Find a type of exercise that you like and practice it.
*4. Upgrade your water intake*
Our bodies are around 60% water.
Good water is better than any other beverage.
“Think of water as a nutrient your body needs that is present in liquids, plain water, and foods. All of these are essential daily to replace the large amounts of water lost each day,” says Joan Koelemay, RD, dietitian for the Beverage Institute, an industry group.
If you already have a good morning and bedtime routine, make drinking water a part of it.
*5. Open your windows*
Getting enough fresh air where you live may be as simple as opening a window.
The air inside your home might be even more polluted than the air outside.
And if you’re spending more time indoors, it’s even more important to ventilate your house every now and then.
*6. Make nuts your go-to snack*
A better snack is medicine your body.
Healthy snacks have the power to help you feel your best.
Nuts are better than potato chips or crackers.
Nuts are high in heart-healthy omega-3s, which also have been shown to help shrink your waistline.
*7. Remove clutter from your life*
Clutter is anything you don’t like, don’t use, or don’t need.
Our lives tend to accumulate clutter over time in almost every corner: on our desks, in our drawers, on our shelves, in our closets, on our computer, and even on your mind.
Decluttering your life is about removing some of the extra possessions in your house, keeping your desk clean at the end of every working day, focusing on one goal at a time (single-tasking), keeping an MIT(most important things) list, unsubscribing from newsletters you don’t need, and consuming less media to keep a sane mind.
When you consistently declutter your life, home, and work, everything will improve everywhere.
*Closing thoughts*
People who stick to healthy habits in adulthood can add more than a decade to their lives, according to a major study into the impact behavior has on lifespan.
If you are ready to make healthy choices, simply pick a couple of healthy habits that resonate with you.
Don’t pick more than you can handle at a time, otherwise, you will give up.
