Good habits help you become more productive and energetic. These habits help us move forward. If you are unsure how to develop good habits, read on to know 5 good habits you can apply in your life.

What are habits?

Habits are daily behaviors that you do by defaults.

Positive habits—like choosing a salad over fast food or dedicating ten minutes daily to meditation—might not revolutionize your health in a day. However, their cumulative effect can substantially influence your wellbeing over weeks, months, and years.

But why is consistency so vital? Turns out, our bodies and minds thrive on routine. When we repetitively make choices that nourish us, it strengthens neural pathways in our brain, making it easier to continue these behaviors. Over time, what might initially have felt like an effort becomes second nature, seamlessly integrating into your daily life.

# These are the habits that get you closer to living your best life.

1.Move your body

The body thrives on movement’. Keeping your body in movement can keep your bones and muscles strong. Regular exercise is one of the best and easiest way to keep your lifestyle healthy.

Regular exercise can help to maintain weight, strengthen your bone and muscles, reduce the risk of getting diabetes, heart problems, and stroke. 

 Many doctors suggest that daily 30 minutes exercise for 5-6 days a week can be helpful for your body. Something simple like brisk walking for 30 minutes or just stretching can add some more healthy years to your life. 

2.Eat healthy foods

There is a simple rule that what and how you eat

 is directly proportional to your health. The habit

 of eating healthy food will help you to maintain

 good and disease-free health. Your regular diet

 should include different fruits, green leafy 

vegetables, sprouts, pulses, meat, poultry food,

 and seafood. Your diet should be high in protein,

 fibers, vitamins, minerals, and low in carbohydrates and calories.  

Also, how you eat or chew your food is also an important part. You have to chew your food 20-30 times to make it digestible.  

3.Always eat breakfast

"Research suggests that having breakfast daily

 can help to boost your metabolism and keep

 your system healthy. You should include more 

dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals, and less fat and

 carbs in your breakfast. Eating the right food can 

keep you energize and fresh. 

4. Drink plenty of water

"Water is the soul of our body and drinking the required amount of water is essential for every cell, tissue, and organ of our body. Drinking water is always a good option than drinking other beverages. It is advisable to keep a small water bottle with you and drink water at frequent intervals to stay hydrated"

5.Sound sleep
