These Healthy Habits = Better Health Results
We’d all love to have more “automatic” habits—especially the healthy ones, like drinking plenty of water between meals or making time to move our bodies.
The truth is, new habits don’t happen overnight. They form gradually, through consistency and practice. The most effective approach is to focus on building one habit at a time, rather than trying to change everything at once.
One helpful strategy is to pair a new habit with something you already enjoy. For example, you might exercise while watching your favorite show, or add protein to your morning coffee for an energizing boost. Tracking your progress and celebrating small wins along the way can also help keep motivation high.
Get started with these healthy habits today—you may notice better health results in just a few weeks:
- Start your day with protein: Beginning your morning with a protein-packed meal is one of the simplest yet most impactful habits for your health. Protein helps control hunger, supports muscle maintenance, and keeps energy levels steady. Try adding Unjury® Chocolate to your coffee for a protein mocha, or blend up a smoothie with fruit, greens, and your favorite protein powder. See more recipe ideas here.
- Establish a sleep schedule: Quality sleep is essential for overall health, mood, and metabolism. Aim to wake up at the same time each day and start winding down about an hour before bedtime. Create a calming routine with activities like sipping herbal tea, journaling, light stretching, meditation, or enjoying a warm bath or shower.
- Add extra steps to bathroom breaks: Movement doesn’t have to be limited to workouts. Small choices throughout the day—like taking the long way to the restroom or break room—add up. These types of movements, known as NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), can significantly increase daily calorie burn and support a healthy metabolism.
- Plan your meals: Whether you plan just a day ahead or map out the entire week, having meals ready helps you make healthier choices and avoid last-minute decisions when you’re hungry or tired. Even a little preparation—like chopping vegetables, cooking extra protein, or pre-packing snacks—can make sticking to your goals much easier.
