Would you break a commitment to a friend?

1. STAY HYDRATED Start your day off right by opting for a large glass of water (250-500ml). Hydration is the key to unlocking numerous health benefits, from boosting brain and skin health to improving overall energy levels. Make it a morning ritual, taking sips before introducing anything else into your system. Trust me, this simple act sets the stage for a day full of accomplishments and keeps you on track to hit your daily water goals.

2. INCREASE PROTEIN INTAKE Improve your well-being by increasing your daily protein intake. Beyond helping with muscle growth, protein plays a crucial role in hormonal balance, metabolism, satiety, blood sugar regulation, and even the production of neurotransmitters and enzymes. Start with a palm-sized portion of protein-rich foods at least three times a day.

3. CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT Set realistic exercise goals that align with your current routine. If you don’t exercise at all, start with a manageable goal of 1-2 sessions per week and gradually build from there. Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Starting small allows you to enjoy a sense of accomplishment, paving the way for future successes and associating positive feelings with exercise instead of demotivating ones.

4. PRIORITIZE HEALTHY SLEEP HABITS Establishing a consistent sleep schedule can do wonders for your overall well-being. Set specific wake-up and bedtimes each day to improve your sleep quality. If you struggle to wind down, consider Ganbatte recharge, a great relaxation aid that helps you get into a calm state for a good night’s sleep.

5. VEGETABLES FOR THE WIN Boost your health by increasing your vegetable intake. While we all know the benefits, incorporating vegetables into our daily routine can be a challenge. Make it easier by buying fresh, seasonal produce, placing it prominently in your fridge, and preparing basic raw vegetables in advance for quick snacks. Also, keep frozen vegetables on hand to easily add to a variety of dishes like stir-fries or bolognese. And, for a delicious boost of vegetables, try Ganbatte Boost – it’s a lovely way to add an extra serving of veggies.

Get on the path to wellness with these five simple habits. Remember, small changes can lead to significant transformations. Here's to a healthier, happier you in the New Year!
