There are so many articles and books about what is healthy and what is not. We all know the theoretical part, also set up goals and are even trying so bad to achieve them, but in fact, planning is always easier than execution and maintenance. Therefore, after posting several articles on different health hacks and tips, now we list some ideas how to keep them.

1. Strive for balance

Healthy lifestyle does not mean to continuously trying out current diet trends, measuring every little piece of nutrition you bring into your body or overthinking the ingredients you can or cannot take. Obviously, finding balance is hard at first, but it seems to be the only way to maintain consistency in the long run. Eating a slice of cake on a family birthday or drink a glass of wine on a Saturday evening will do neither good nor harm.

2. Get a good sleep

Sleeping is a magical therapy for all kind of health issues, in and out. Getting enough sleep makes you get up energised and refreshed every morning, hence ensuring the necessary amount of power you need to stay consistent and maintain the balance you have reached so hard! On the other hand, it is important to take care of what time you go to bed – the most relaxing sleep is said to be before midnight.

3. Consistency in training

Just like in diet and sleep, consistency is key in training as well. It does not mean to push yourself out of your limits every day though, but instead to simply listen to your body and give it what it needs. Once you do not feel like exercising, read or watch a movie, but at the same time, never forget that physical activity is actually your friend which prevents lots of diseases and is the best source of happiness.

4. Drink enough water

It may seem like a cliché, but drinking enough water is still not a basic daily routine for most people. The best thing to do is to start the day with a huge glass of water, which has so many benefits that we could hardly list them all. Among others, it wakes up the body while reducing hanger, relieves heartburn and stimulates blood circulation. To help you make it essential, there are numerous mobile applications that remind you to drink the adequate amount throughout the day.

5. Treat your soul

Just like physical well-being, self-care is also vital for overall health. There are great practices to achieve positive thinking, just like writing down three things that you are grateful for every evening, or surrounding yourself with people who are inspiring, motivating and make you happy.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is only difficult at the beginning. Feeling great and energized in the long run are totally worth the effort. Finally, you will soon realise that it is not a diet or a trend, but a new lifestyle that you have just successfully switched to.
