It is never easy to make positive changes in your life. At times, it can be difficult and even discouraging to break old, unhealthy habits and form new, healthy ones—but it’s not impossible.
A healthy, happy lifestyle is one of the cornerstones of self-improvement. The question is, “How can you change your lifestyle to become healthier?”
In this blog, we’ll look at some valuable tips for living a healthier and happier lifestyle.
Where Should You Begin?
It’s great that you want to make healthier choices in life, but where should you actually start? Keep the following suggestions in mind:
First and foremost, identify the unhealthy habits in your life that you wish to change. Then, for each habit, think about why you want to change it. Perhaps it is for your own mental health, or maybe your goal is spending quality time with your grandchildren.
Don’t point fingers or blame your inability to break bad habits on time constraints. Make a promise to yourself and hold yourself accountable to that promise—just as you would hold a loved one accountable if they did the same.
Avoid anything that triggers your bad habits. If scrolling through your social media feeds makes you feel bad about yourself, delete your account. If alcohol makes you want to smoke a cigarette, take a break from drinking. You’re probably already aware of the negative triggers in your life—all you need to do now is figure out how to distance yourself from them.
Believe in your ability to change. If you can convince yourself that it’s possible, half the battle is already won.
Changing is hard, and there may be days when you struggle. Realize that it will take some time to reach your destination and that you may experience a few failures along the way. Instead of allowing any setbacks to get the better of you, just keep working hard.
Set your goals, but remember to start off small.
What Is the Importance of Goal Setting?
Setting a few goals is one of the most effective ways of building a framework for creating your new healthier and happier lifestyle. The goals give you something to focus on and keep you motivated to work very hard; they also allow you to track your performance, revealing just how far you’ve come.
Be honest with yourself when setting goals. Whether you want to drop five pounds or learn a new language, it won’t happen overnight—maybe not even for a few months. Failure to hit unrealistic targets could be demoralizing and cause you to give up big time.
To avoid overloading yourself, take baby steps, focusing on one goal at a time. For example, if you want to get your weight down, set small objectives for yourself. Work out at least 3-4 times a week, for example, and add more greens to your plate.
Now, let’s get to the meat of the matter…
1. Take Care of Your Mental Health
Many people associate a healthy life with diet and exercise while completely ignoring mental health—one of the most crucial components of a healthy, happy life.
So, how do you keep your mental health in check?
You might find it a bit tricky to manage your emotions while having to deal with the stresses of everyday life. Keeping your mental health in check necessitates the prioritization of your personal needs. We can’t care for others if we do not care for our own minds and bodies, right?
Start with your mental health if you want to lead a healthy lifestyle. Take some time out of your day to unwind and do things that make you happy, treat yourself for something you did right, and spend more time with good people who value your company.
There are a number of things you can do to improve your mental wellbeing, including any of the following exercises.
Sit down and write something for which you are thankful every day.
Head outside for a walk, either by yourself or with someone you care about.
Try out a new healthy, delicious recipe and share it with a friend.
Limit your screen time.
Do something out of the ordinary to shake up your daily routine.
Try mindfulness meditation.
Participate in a local charity’s volunteer program.
2. Exercise More
Starting a workout routine can be daunting, especially if you’ve never done it before. Be that as it may, it might be one of the best things you can do for yourself. Daily workouts are beneficial not only to your physical health, but also to your mental wellbeing.
You should set goals and create a fitness schedule to which you can realistically stick. Start with something as simple as walking 30-45 minutes every day, progressively adding different workouts to your routine over time.
Keep the following things in mind before you get started:
Check your health. Consult a doctor before beginning a workout routine if you’re not used to being physically active or are over 45.
Set realistic goals. Start with simple and attainable goals, such as walking 10-15 miles each week, gradually adding more goals to your workout plan.
Make it a habit. A workout routine is only a “routine” if you can stick to it over time. Try to set aside time each week to break some sweat, focusing on holding yourself accountable.
3. Eat Healthy
Eating right is one of the most challenging parts of adopting a healthy lifestyle. After all, what is life without your favorite apple pie or pizza bursting with cheese?
Being mindful of what you put into your body is about more than just dropping some weight; eating healthy also makes you more positive, energetic, and productive.
Here are a few tips you should know for healthy eating:
Be realistic. Changing your eating habits is hard, so take it slowly. Set goals that are both realistic and attainable. If you usually eat out once a day, consider only doing so every other day for a few weeks before you stop eating out altogether.
Know that you can still enjoy food. Healthy eating entails cleaning up your diet while still allowing yourself to savor the food you eat.
Follow a healthy eating plan. Those who map out a plan are more likely to succeed in switching their diet with a healthier one.
Reward yourself. After reaching micro-milestones, treat yourself to something you’ve been craving, such as that pie or pizza.
If you fail, don’t punish yourself. There will be setbacks, but just brush them off and get back on the rails. Never let a failure of the past dictate your future.
Plan your meals. Planning meals ahead of time, creating a grocery list, and sticking to a healthy eating plan results in reduced waste.
Cook at home and pack your lunch. Home cooking is always less expensive than eating out. Meal prep everything for the week in one day or make one meal at a time, eating all the leftovers before making another meal—either way, you’ll save $$$.
Eat produce that is in season. Buy in-season local produce and freeze what you don’t use.
Keep a food diary. Keeping a food diary might help you stay on track by logging what you eat and the amount of fat or calories in each meal. MyFitnessPal is the most popular diet and nutrition tracking app, and it is completely free to use.
Foods to avoid or reduce in your diet:
Processed foods
Foods that contain trans fat (donuts, cakes, fried salty snacks etc.)
Fast food
Soda and carbonated drinks
Packaged ready-to-eat food items
Sugary drinks
Foods to add instead:
Whole foods (foods that are unprocessed, unrefined and free from additives)
Lots of vegetables and fruits
Healthy fats
Lean protein
4. Get Enough Sleep
It’s widely accepted that sleep is critical to physical and mental wellbeing. Despite this importance, however, a disturbing percentage of people are consistently deprived of decent sleep and are, as a result, noticeably drowsy during the day.
If you have trouble falling asleep easily or at all, here are a few suggestions for developing habits that will help you sleep better.
Go to bed and get up at the same hours each day.
Never go to bed hungry or stuffed.
Create a sleeping-friendly bedroom—cool, quiet, and dark.
Limit daytime naps to a 30-minute maximum and avoid taking them late in the day.
Stress management may be effective. Start with the fundamentals, such as getting organized, establishing priorities, and delegating tasks.
We hope this blog has provided you with the information you need to adopt a healthy lifestyle in the pursuit of becoming your best self.

Peru reduced its territory used for growing coca leaves for a third straight year, according to an annual report from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
The UN said that 42,900 hectares of land were used to grow coca in Peru last year, down 14% from 2013. That is the lowest level since 1998, when Peru had 38,700 hectares under cultivation, according to the UN.
“It is an important achievement,” the UNODC's representative in Peru, Flavio Mirella, said when releasing the findings on Wednesday.
The report found that Peru produce 100,840 tons of dry coca leaf in 2014, down 17% from 2013. About 10% of the coca grown in Peru is legal, used for traditional purposes such as chewing or drinking as a tea for digestion and to ward off altitude sickness. The rest of production, however, goes towards making cocaine.
Peru's coca production had increased steadily from the early 2000s to 2011, when more than 60,000 hectares were used to grow the crop. Peru was considered the world's top cocaine producer, ahead of Colombia, where production had fallen sharply during the past decade, and Bolivia, the other major producer of the leaf.
Last year's fall, coupled with a 17% decrease in 2013, means that Colombia likely overtook Peru as the biggest cocaine producer on earth.
“At this moment, we can say that Peru is not the world's top producer of cocaine,” said Alberto Otarola, the head of the country's antidrug agency, Devida.
Colombia's coca production soared last year, with the amount of territory used to produce the leaf climbing about 44%, the UN said recently. That increase was due, in part, to pressure on farmers to increase their crops by the FARC rebels in order to gain more benefits from the government if a peace deal is reached, according to some analysts.
Peru's advances, meanwhile, have been due to increased eradication. Last year, the government ripped out more than 30,000 hectares of coca bushes, an annual record. President Ollanta Humala's government has been steadily increasing eradication since he took office in 2011. Before, the government would eradicate about 10,000 hectares per year.
The success in reducing coca has been particularly impressive in the Upper Huallaga Valley. That valley, located in north-central Peru, used to be Peru's top coca growing region, with about 17,000 hectares under cultivation in 2009. Last year, only about 1,500 hectares were used to grow coca in the Upper Huallaga.
The decline there is possible due to the government's dismantling of the Shining Path rebels that operated in the zone. In 2012, state security forces captured Florindo Flores, alias Comrade Artemio, the rebel group's leader in the Upper Huallga, which paved the way for eradication and alternative development programs.
The other coca valley with a Shining Path faction is the broad area in southern Peru within the Apurimac, Ene and Mantaro River Valleys, an isolated montane forest zone known strategically as the VRAEM that includes territory in the Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Cuzco and Junin regions.
Despite Peru's national decline, production stayed steady in the VRAEM, where the government has called off plans to eradicate due to security concerns. About 19,000 hectares were used to grow coca in the VRAEM, representing almost 44% of the national territory. However the area is so densely planted with the leaf that almost 70% of Peru's total coca production now comes from the area.
I started fiddling around with the landing gear this afternoon. I've decided to go with extra ESB gear housings, since ANH is the only film which doesn't have them, I figured that adding them means I can swap out the radar dish if I want to. Also I find that the extra housings, although chunky, add a better visual balance to the Falcon, otherwise it feels a too back-heavy.
I took the new housings from another MPC kit by slicing off its' rear bay and splitting it in two.
I need to create some more of these styrene inserts to reduce the bay well size, and I'll hide the joins with extra plating.
My plan is to have them swappable between landing and flight versions, but equally I plan to have the bays lit.....it should be an interesting problem to fix.
Lastly I soldered one of my brass etch baffles and fitted it to the spare Finemolds landing struts I have

Maintains a constant downstream pressure regardless of upstream pressure or flow rate fluctuations. The set point of reduced pressure is adjustable by a 3-way pilot valve. A spring-loaded diaphragm inside the pilot moves according to the downstream pressure changes. The pressure fluctuations are compensated by gradual opening and closing of the valve.
