Sometimes it can feel like maintaining a healthy lifestyle is an overwhelming challenge that doesn’t fit within the realities of daily life. It’s tough to hold down a full-time job, eat well, train for a marathon, make homemade green juice, spend quality time with your family/partner, and meditate for an hour each day. 😰

Of course, healthy living can incorporate all of these things (if you want it to), but it doesn’t have to be defined by grandiose displays of health and fitness.

So much of healthy living is really made up of small things we do daily—things that are so small they don’t feel momentous, but that, done consistently over time, add up to produce big results.

For people living in colder, wintery climates, the short days of winter can feel like they’re dragging on and on. Especially in January and February, the cold weather and lack of sunlight can start to take a toll on the body—both physically and mentally.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (appropriate acronym SAD) is, unfortunately, a relatively common experience for people living in higher latitudes with colder, wintery climates and notably shorter, darker winter days.

Our body is our temple and we need to take care of it. Do you know that over 70% of Americans are either obese or overweight?[1] That’s insane! Think of your body as your physical shell to take you through life. If you repeatedly abuse it, your shell will wear out quickly.

Life is beautiful and you don’t want to bog yourself down with unnecessary health problems. Today, your vital organs may be working well, but they may not be tomorrow. Don’t take your health for granted. Take proper care of your body.

Good health isn’t just about healthy eating and exercise — it’s also about having a positive attitude, a positive self-image, and a healthy lifestyle.

21 Tips to Wake Up Early

When I was young, I was an avid drinker of Coca-Cola and other soft drinks. Actually, I was pretty much a Coke addict (funny that the term refers to both the soft drink and cocaine). I could never get past a day without Coke — it was normal for me to finish nearly 1.5 liters in a day.

As I grew up, I became more conscious of the need to be healthy. I looked into my diet, including my soda habits, and realized how unhealthy soda was. So I removed them from my diet. Coke, Sprite, Pepsi, all of that. In the very rare occasions when I drink soda, I find the taste exceedingly sweet, acidic, and unpalatable — I can’t get past a few sips. Looking back, it was hard to believe that I was putting so much of this junk into my body.

Here are 5 reasons why you should quit drinking Coca-Cola and soda.

We’ve heard it many times before, but do we really know what a healthy lifestyle means?

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity,” which implies that this concept goes beyond the existence or lack of existence illnesses.

Consequently, more than just healthy living, we must talk about a healthy lifestyle that includes food, physical exercise, preventive healthcare, work, the relationship with the environment, and social activity.
