Positive Habits

• Good habits can benefit you in a multitude of ways over your lifetime. Habits, in general, are learned or instinctual actions that you perform repeatedly. Daily habits can be both positive and negative.
• According to Medical Dictionary, a healthy habit is-

“A behavior that is beneficial to one’s physical or mental health, often linked to a high level of discipline and self-control.”

• Good habits help you perform well at work, succeed in your relationships, or achieve your goals. They may result in you gaining additional income getting your body fit, completing your daily to-do list, and a number of other positive benefits.
• Over time, these actions become ingrained in your day-to-day life. After about 21 days, actions become habits, which are tough to break. Countless people find difficulty overcoming their prior bad habits and replacing them with more positive ones.
• Good habits are recognized as repetitive behaviors that are beneficial to your life. They build upon your strengths, contribute to career success, help you develop mental peace, or manage your chaotic life.
• There is almost always a positive outcome related to good habits. Common examples would include starting a daily self-care routine, exercise routine, and eating healthy, among other activities.

Part 1 Diet and Nutrition

• Filter your source of drinking water.
  Our water supplies are contaminated with various chemicals, while chlorine and fluoride are also carcinogens. Distilled or Reverse Osmosis would be ideal. If you can’t afford those, a simple ceramic carbon filter is better than nothing.

   Preferably, filter your shower water too, as the pores on our skin absorb a lot of the chlorine which is in it.

• Drink more water: Water is critical to good health. Our bodies are over 80% water! Water carries out many functions in the body — it lubricates, carries nutrients, flushes toxins, cools, etc. Many diseases have been linked to dehydration or lack of water. Sodas, coffee, alcohol etc do not count; in fact, these are harmful beverages which actually dehydrate your body. Freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices as well as herbal teas are good.
• Vegan- In fact, vegetarians live longer than meat eaters. Eating animal flesh contributes to a long list of diseases — heart disease, kidney disease, cancer, among others. This is partly due to the fat in animal flesh as well as the fact that our bodies generally find it difficult to digest meat.

     To make things worse, commercially-farmed animals today are bred in terrible living conditions (e.g. they are not able to roam around freely or get any sunshine), injected with hormones to make them grow faster, fed dubious food (e.g. diseased animal parts), injected with and fed drugs and steroids when they fall ill, and their flesh is chemically processed in order to keep longer.

• Eat a variety of whole and natural foods: Whole foods have many health benefits. For example, they contain more nutrients and fiber than processed foods. The nutrients in whole foods are also better assimilated by the body. By eating a variety of whole foods, we would thus be getting all the different nutrients which we need; try to have a colorful diet – i.e. fruits, vegetables, beans, etc of different colors. Processed foods, on the other hand, are unnatural and often contain a load of chemical additives and preservatives. Our modern day diets are a disastrous combination of too much processed foods and very little whole foods.

• Eat organic: Commercially farmed vegetables and fruits are often genetically modified or sprayed with chemical pesticides. We are ingesting all these harmful toxins every day, at every meal, and the buildup causes disease in the long run. Eating organic reduces our intake of these poisons. Organic produce also contains more nutrients, which are natural and thus better assimilated by our bodies. 

• Eat more raw foods: Raw foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, have many health benefits. For example, they contain more nutrients, enzymes and phytochemicals than cooked foods. They also have an unexplanable factor, the “life” factor — these are living foods obtained fresh from nature; seeds, for example, have the potential to grow into huge plants and trees. Cooked foods are often devoid of or lacking in nutrients and difficult for our bodies to digest.

• Drink some fresh fruit and / or vegetable juice everyday: Freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices are power-packed nutritional blasts — they contain many vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytochemicals essential for good health. Because the juice has been removed from the food fiber, the nutrients are more absorbable by the body, and the body is also saved the effort of digestion. In addition, the juices is a source of water for the body

• Add fibre in your diet- Dietary fiber: Essential for a healthy diet: Dietary fiber, also known as roughage or bulk, includes the parts of plant foods your body can’t digest or absorb. Unlike other food components, such as fats, proteins or carbohydrates — which your body breaks down and absorbs — fiber isn’t digested by your body. Instead, it passes relatively intact through your stomach, small intestine and colon and out of your body.
