New Healthy Habits

Living a healthy life is not a New Year – New Goals for me; it is a daily pursuit to live my best life, making better choices while choosing a lifestyle that fits my needs and helps me improve my health. Here are some New Healthy Habits I will be adopting this year!

New Healthy Habits

Drink More Water

Even though I aim to drink a few glasses of water every day, I feel like my mornings could improve by adding a few glasses here and there.

By adding fruits to my water, I change things up and enjoy a refreshing cup daily!

Fasting

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that since 2020 I’ve been doing intermittent fasting. Sometimes 16:8, sometimes for a shorter period of time.

My goal is to plan my last meal and first meal of the day better, so I don’t break the fast earlier because I am hungry, which has been happening often.

Here are some tips on how to start fasting: FASTING

Exercising

The winter is hard for me as far as exercising. I tend to hike less, I don’t use my standing desk as often, or my home gym.

I’ve recently found out I have Osteopenia, which is a bone disease in early stages where your bones are deficient in nutrients and are prone to injuries.

One of my doctor’s recommendations was to work out with weights.

That convicted me because, to be honest, I basically stopped moving since November hit!

Here are the changes I’ve already started adopting:

• I set a goal to exercise in my home gym 3x a week, adding weights to my routine. You can check out my home gym HERE.
• I am adding 30 mins-1 hour daily at my standing desk to meet my chiropractor’s suggestion. Here’s my Standing Desk.

• I want to make sure I do at least 15 minutes on the treadmill and more time on my bike.

Vitamins & Diet Changes

My dermatologist had already prescribed me some vitamins to help with hair loss; she prescribed

D3K2 from this brand:

After the Osteopenia diagnosis, my primary doctor recommended food rich in Calcium:

Such as dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese) – I opted to use Calcium Fortified Almond Milk, but regular cheese; leafy greens (kale, collards, bok choy), fish with bones (sardines, salmon), fortified foods (juices, cereals, plant milks, tofu made with calcium), and legumes (edamame, soybeans). 

Seeds (like sesame) and nuts (almonds) are also good sources, helping meet daily needs, crucial for bones, teeth, heart, and nerves, with adults generally needing around 1000mg daily.  

She recommended that I didn’t add a calcium supplement yet, since there are some side effects such as nausea and constipation.

As you see, nothing on my list is brand new; just adjusting my routine and adding new healthy habits to bring changes that will benefit my health and well-being.
