Episode #69 - Change Your Habits, Improve Your Health

In this week's episode, we look at habitual behaviors: how they are formed and how to overcome the negative ones. Negative habits in your diet and lifestyle, such as regular alcohol drinking or consuming processed sugar, can make your quest for good health and weight loss much more difficult. However, positive habits can make a real difference to your day to day life and get you feeling more relaxed, balanced and healthy. A great way to tackle bad habits it to swap them for good ones. Learn more about the ways you can make small but effective behavioral improvements and changes, and how they can get you on the path to a happy, healthy lifestyle. For example, taking magnesium baths, swapping alcohol for tea and using the Take Ten app are all steps we discuss this week: small but positive changes that will make a difference to your wellbeing. Over time, habits become normal to us and we just do them without thinking. Programming your brain with these good habits may take a little time and effort at first, but before long will become automatic to you. Once these good habits are natural to you, you'll find it much easier to bring in new habits as well and take an all-round approach to becoming happier and healthier.
