10 Healthy Habits That Don't Involve Exercising
Too often we complicate things—adding activities into our day-to-day lives that aren’t actually sustainable. Sure, the first day or two is fine because you’re super motivated but I don’t think any of us are strangers to that one week motivation slump. You’re trying to maintain relationships, be sociable, look after your family, clean your house, go grocery shopping (we all know that’s a whole day gone), the list goes on and on. Sometimes, we just don’t have time for exercising. I get it, exercising won’t always be your highest priority, so here’s some other healthy habits you can add into your life that won’t take up too much time and will get you on a healthier path. And remember, health isn’t just about fitness, it’s about your relationships—with yourself and the people around you, your mental wellbeing and your lifestyle.

Why You Should Include Supplements in Your Daily Routine
Natural vs Synthetic Nutrients Multivitamins are considered synthetic nutrients, and generally speaking, about half of the United States population relies on a vitamin for the majority of their nutrient needs. However, there has been a lot of talk more recently about the benefits of choosing a synthetic supplement when natural nutrients can be found. The point isn’t to argue about which form of vitamins or minerals you should consume but to stress the importance of getting the proper nutrition. While a plant-based supplement offers some advantages, the goal of all dietary extras should be to improve your overall health and well-being.

The Different Sectors of Health and Wellness

Living the Moment, Being Now
Living the moment. Being “now.” Is awareness opposed to focus? Many books and teachers urge us to live in the now. There is much to be said for focusing on what we are doing at any particular moment, especially when attempting a complex task. But it is not so easy, especially when we are not having to concentrate on achieving anything in particular. To literally live in “now” means at any given moment you are absorbed by and focused on, this moment, the last few seconds, or even the next few seconds should not enter your mind. Obviously taken to this extreme it is as dangerous as it is foolish. Try driving a car or typing at a computer, without any thought or intention about the next second in time. As in all things, we have to to apply pragmatism and rationality to our efforts to live in the now. Being aware of every moment that your life is occupying is a good start. Take off the head phones while walking to work, look around as you walk, be aware of other people, smile, say hello, actually be you walking to work, not some electronically separated and cocooned product of electronic input.
