How to Be Healthy and Happy: 8 Healthy Lifestyle Tips to Try Now

The following healthy lifestyle habits can lead to huge changes for a new year, new you.

1. Improve your diet.

You’ve heard it time and time again, but the importance of eating a proper diet can’t be stressed enough. When you fuel your body with the right vitamins and minerals, it’s going to feel better. Stock up on fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables to always have produce on hand, and make sure you eat a variety of healthy fats, lean proteins and whole grains every day. 

Here are some basics to include in your daily diet:

  • Berries (like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries)
  • Whole grains (like brown rice and oatmeal)
  • Greens (like kale, spinach, arugula and broccoli)
  • Beans
  • Dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
  • Avocados
  • Natural peanut butter and/or nuts
  • Seeds (like chia, flax and sunflower seeds)
  • Water
  • Green tea

Keep in mind that our daily multivitamins can help fill any gaps in your nutrition, which means one less thing for you to worry about.

2. Limit your screen time.

Not only can screen time lead to eye strain, but it can also seriously affect your productivity and even impact your self-esteem. If you find yourself constantly scrolling through your Instagram, Facebook and Twitter feeds, then limiting your social media involvement may be a smart step to regaining that lost time and energy. If you feel compelled to check for notifications, delete the apps from your phone to force yourself to take a break.

3. Get active.

Just like eating right, physical activity is incredibly important to your overall health and well-being. Aim for 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise each day, whether it’s taking a long walk, going for a jog, jumping rope or trying new YouTube workout videos. The key is to find something you enjoy doing, which will help you stay consistent.

4. Practice self-care.

Your everyday wellness ultimately depends on how well you take care of yourself, and it’s all too easy to overlook your basic needs due to daily stressors, packed schedules and constant commitments. Remember to set aside time for yourself each and every day to relax and recharge. Whether it’s quietly enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or taking a 30-minute bubble bath before bed, give yourself that time without feeling a bit of guilt.

5. Listen to your gut.

Your gut health is very much connected to your overall health, and digestive issues go hand in hand with stress, anxiety, insomnia and poor diet — to name just a few. Try incorporating supplements that support a healthy gut microbiome with clinically studied ingredients connected to clear thinking, better sleep, stress response and more.

6. Increase your energy levels.

If you’re short on energy or struggling to focus on everyday tasks, it may be time to give yourself a boost. Supplements that support cognitive focus and performance can help you get through your day just as effectively as that morning cup of joe. 

Our Beet & B Energizer Powder, for example, contains dried beet juice concentrate, beet powder and Coffeeberry, a coffee fruit extract with naturally occurring caffeine to help you avoid energy crashes. Plus, it’s formulated with electrolytes, coconut water and eight essential B vitamins to promote energy metabolism.

7. Feel good from the inside out.

Beauty starts on the inside, so reach for supplements that are formulated with clean, high-quality ingredients to enhance your skin, hair and nails. Our Maxi-Hair offers a unique biotin formula that supports hair, skin and nail health. Biotin — an essential B vitamin — actually supports the formation of keratin, which is a building block for skin, hair and nails.
