Being healthy and leading a healthy lifestyle is a habit, or a series of habits, that one has to follow every day–through all the ups and downs, the set-backs and successes. Healthy people are successful in their health endeavours because they adopt daily habits that lead them to success. And now you can too! Follow these 10 habits of healthy people to be at your best, healthiest self:

1. Eat greens every day

I always make sure to eat a daily dose of greens. Whether it be throwing a cup of spinach or kale in my smoothie, making a green juice in the morning, or having a kale salad with dinner, greens are a staple. Pop them in recipes any chance you get! This way, you will easily meet your daily requirement and will start to feel the tremendous, healthy effects they have on your body.

I love the feeling you get all day long after you exercise in the morning. That feeling of accomplishment and completion; that feeling of knowing that no matter what happens during the rest of the day, your exercise is complete and nobody can take that away from you. And when a friend calls later and suggests awesome dinner plans, or it’s pouring rain outside and you just want to curl up with your dog and tea in bed, it’s okay: because this morning you did your exercise. Here’s 8 things you can start doing to create a successful morning exercise routine:

1. Start Small 

You have to start somewhere.  Maybe it’s just one morning a week or maybe just for 30 minutes at a time.  Whatever it may be, set a reasonable goal for yourself and just do it once.  Then gradually increase week by week.  Don't get discouraged when it sucks at first, or you miss a few times, and don't try to do something so ambitious that you se yourself up for failure. Instead, make your plan and stick with it and it and it will eventually become a habit.

When you hear of waist training and images of Victorian women trying to breathe and claiming they’ve got “the vapors” because they’re struggling to breathe immediately pop into your head, you’re not far off. Waist training or waist cinching involves wearing a tight corset or corset like garment that is inches smaller than your actual waist in the hopes that it will compress your core into an hourglass figure.

If you’ve never had to make a pit stop and eat at a fast food restaurant, consider yourself lucky. Not only is the entire menu appetizing at times, but also it’s extremely unhealthy when eaten daily. Worry not because eating on the fly or at a rest stop can actually be healthy – if you know the right things to get.

A lot of fast food places actually carry decently healthy and low calorie meals. You just have to look in the right place and know what to pair them with. Let’s take a look at what some of these fast food places have to offer, and remember, you’re totally allowed to eat whatever you want – these are just some options to help out if you’re looking to eat a bit healthier.

McDonald’s

If you’re in need of a quick lunch go to McDonald’s and try out their Snack Wraps! Both the Chicken Ranch Snack Wrap and the Honey Mustard Snack Wrap are perfect options. Ask for grilled chicken instead of fried, and ask to have no dressing if you’re looking to save calories. If you feel like that won’t be fulfilling, look for healthy options to pair it with like a small fry or a fruit parfait!
