Being healthy is not just about eating nutritious food and exercising. Diet and exercise are essential, but we tend to focus too much on these two wellness components while ignoring other things that could even matter more towards improving our longevity.
There are all kinds of research out there that says how long it takes to build a habit. This can vary anywhere from 21 days to 254 days. The timing doesn’t really matter for these happiness habits; what matters is that you incorporate these tips into your daily lives… you can build healthy habits (and I’m right here with my hand on your back, supporting you and making this easier)!
