31 Simple Wellness Tips for Healthy & Happy Living

1. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

Coffee’s great too, but it’s best to start your day by re-hydrating with a full glass of water. Hydrating first thing in the morning helps to aid digestion, enhance skin health and boost energy.

2. TAKE THE STAIRS

Taking the stairs instead of the elevator is a simple way to get a little more physical activity in your daily life. It also strengthens and tones your legs and core while you’re at it!

3. MAKE HALF YOUR PLATE VEGGIES

A simple hack for healthy eating (and portion control) is to make half your plate veggies at each meal.

4. GET A FITBIT & TRACK YOUR STEPS

Using a Fitbit (we like the Ionic and Versa) to track your steps is an easy way to make sure you’re getting enough physical activity. We aim for 10,000 steps each day, which has significant physical and mental health benefits. The Fitbit will also remind you to get 250 steps each hour (another important measure of health—see tip #9!).

5. SWITCH TO NONTOXIC HOUSEHOLD CLEANING PRODUCTS

Conventional household cleaning products are full of harmful chemical ingredients that are not good for our health. Switching to healthier alternatives (we share a complete list in our Healthy Cleaning Guide) is a simple way to reduce your exposure to environmental toxins in your home.

6. USE NONTOXIC SKINCARE & PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS

Similar to cleaning products, conventional skincare and personal care products are formulated with toxic ingredients we should not regularly let absorb into our body’s largest organ. Reduce the toxic burden on your body by switching to nontoxic personal care and beauty products (see our specific recommendations on deodorant, sunscreen, and green beauty products).

7. TAKE A PROBIOTIC DAILY

A daily probiotic can help with digestion, skin health, immunity, mental health and more. Learn more about the health benefits of probiotics (and all the ways to get them in your diet), and shop our favorite probiotic here.

8. EAT REAL FOOD

Aim to only eat real food that’s made of whole food ingredients you would have in your own .......

Why Can’t I Lose Weight: 9 Frustrating Reasons You May Be Missing

1. Portion Distortion Measure and record  everything  you put in your mouth: the amount, the ingredients, etc. Try using a free app like  My Fitness Pal  to give you a breakdown of your daily calories, fat intake, sugar intake, etc. Do this for at least a week and then take a look at your numbers. I like to divide my plate into fractions: 1/4 lean protein 1/4 or less complex carbohydrates like sweet potatoes, quinoa, brown rice All the rest should greens, and non starchy vegetables Seeing everything broken down can really be eye-opening. You may be consuming way more than you thought you were. 2. Too Much Restaurant Food If you eat a lot of your meals out, you have another tricky dieting problem. It’s very hard to know  just what  is going into your restaurant meal, what kinds of oils are used for cooking, and how much butter goes into your meal. Even if you do order a healthy meal, restaurant portion sizes are almost always way more than you need. Make up your mind that you will take
