Becoming healthy doesn’t have to be overwhelming! Doing just a few ‘good for you’ things a day can really add up in a big way. Here are four easy healthy habits to sneak into your day:

1. More veggies and fruits. Pull out your Jack LaLanne Power Juicer and leave it out. You’ll be more apt to get in the habit of using it daily if you see it and its conveniently located (rather than up in a high cabinet some place.) Start each day with your favorite juice to kick off your day in good health.

2. Move. You don’t have to do an hour spin class or a five mile run to get the benefits from activity. Take every opportunity you can to get a little movement in – hand deliver messages to coworkers in lieu of Emailing them, park as far as you can and walk, take the stairs instead of the escalator. Every opportunity to move is a step in the right direction. Even just standing while on the phone or watching TV instead of sitting will burn extra calories – add a squat or a bicep curl while you’re at it!

3. Hydrate. Before each meal, drink one 8-oz. glass of water. Hydration is essential for well-being and many of us walk around in a half-state of dehydration on a regular basis. Not only is water vital for good skin and good health but it will also fill you up before eating and help you to slash off a few calories.

4. Journal. Holding on to emotions can really be the undoing for many. Many of us comfort eat and drink. Turning to a journal and writing out your feelings help! If you’re feeling down writing a list of ten things that you are grateful for can instantly change your mood and perspective on things. If you’re angry at a friend, writing a letter (perhaps that you’ll never send) helps to “get it out” and aids in allowing you to move forward or figure a way to work it out. Journaling can take as little as five minutes and is a healthy habit to incorporate in your day.
