Regular exercise, cooking at home, getting enough sleep, helping the body be healthier in 2020.

The New Year is a “golden” time to set goals in life, improve your health such as losing weight, eating healthy, starting exercise habits ...

However, by the middle of the year, many people tend to be depressed, put aside their plans until next year and continue to give up after just a few months of trying. The key to breaking that loop is to build simple, yet effective, long-term habits.

Eat plenty of whole foods

One of the easy and sustainable ways to improve your health is to eat whole, unrefined foods like whole grains, nuts, beans, fruits and vegetables.

Research shows that adherence to this diet can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, lose weight, stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Deep and quality sleep

Sleep is an essential part of human health. Lack of sleep can lead to serious consequences such as weight gain, heart disease and depression.

The reasons for lack of sleep are extremely diverse, from busy schedules to general life pressures. Therefore, it is important to improve the quality of sleep to regulate your lifestyle, reduce the time you spend on your phone, and go to bed at a fixed time.

Be physically active

Many studies show that sitting too much can negatively affect human health, increasing the risk of dying from diseases in general. Setting a hard-working goal is a simple and effective way to adjust your lifestyle and make your body healthier.

For office workers, experts recommend walking for 15 minutes at every lunch break and doing light exercise every hour.

Home meal

A study of 11,396 adults showed that regularly cooking at home results in a healthier, low-fat diet compared to eating out.

However, in urban areas, busy living makes processed food or fast food restaurants an easier choice. Experts suggest that you can start by cooking yourself one meal a day and gradually increasing the frequency.

Periodic medical examination

Regular check-up is an extremely necessary thing, but many people take it lightly. In fact, some dangerous diseases do not show symptoms until the late stage.

Periodic health examination helps to detect diseases early, have timely treatment and save costs. Many people believe that the overall examination not only wastes time, but also costs money, while the body is completely healthy. However, the cost of treatment when the disease has worsened will be much higher than the regular check-up.
