There are people who look healthier even though they eat similarly and their exercise times don't seem to differ much. Of course, everyone has different innate physical abilities, but a healthier life can also be achieved through daily habits. Based on an article by Dr. Kathleen M. Zelman, who is recognized by the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and published on the health-focused website WebMD, we explore the '6 habits of healthier people.'

1. Do not skip breakfast

The importance of breakfast cannot be overstated. Breakfast provides the energy to start your metabolism and helps prevent overeating during snacks or additional meals. According to previous studies, adults who eat a healthy breakfast perform better at work, and teenagers who eat breakfast tend to score higher on exams. If eating a large amount in the morning is difficult, it is also good to have a light meal such as a protein bar, a piece of fruit, or soy milk.

2. Getting enough sleep

The benefits of good sleep are countless. Getting enough sleep improves mood, enhances memory and concentration. It also allows brain cells to recover, helping with learning new things. In the long term, it reduces the risk of heart disease and helps maintain a healthy weight. The appropriate amount of sleep is about 7 to 9 hours. Even if you sleep for the same 8 hours, going to bed earlier is more beneficial for your sleep pattern than going to bed late. For example, sleeping at 10 PM and waking up at 6 AM is much better than sleeping at 2 AM and waking up at 10 AM.

3. Reducing smartphone and internet usage

The internet has become closer to our lives with the development of smartphones. We can check news about friends and family, as well as various updates, anytime and anywhere. However, do we really need to access external news so frequently? Our lives also need time to 'log out' from the internet. Set aside a certain amount of time each day to put down your phone. During the time spent looking at smartphones and computers, you can try doing other activities and give your brain a rest.

4. Learning new things

Learning new skills is good for brain health. It is recommended to enroll in dance classes or creative writing workshops. The best option is to learn a new language. Various studies have shown that language learning enhances cognitive abilities and memory. In particular, these mental efforts can slow aging and delay the effects of Alzheimer's disease.

5. Do not smoke

Useless and harmful cigarettes. Quitting smoking alone is a significant step toward better health. It may seem late, but once you start quitting, many of your body's organs can recover.

6. Drink plenty of water

The amount of water intake needed by our body per day is about 2.5 liters. Also, just because water is good, you should not drink too much at once. It can strain kidney function and cause a rapid drop in blood sodium levels, leading to electrolyte imbalance, so caution is necessary. Hyponatremia can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, muscle cramps, as well as brain disorders that may lead to consciousness disturbances or seizures. It is better to drink in small amounts multiple times. However, when replenishing fluids, it is not necessary to fill up only with water. Consuming fruits or vegetables for hydration is also beneficial.
