 5 Healthy Habits for 2025 That Have Nothing to Do with Diets 

We feel new beginnings, fresh starts, and change everywhere. 

 We don't have to wait for the New Year to reflect  and evaluate how we spend our lives and take care of ourselves. 

But if you're one of the roughly 75% of the population who are setting health-focused goals and making changes to improve their well-being in 2025,  consider these options. This is amazing. – - They don't have anything to do with eats less carbs:

Eat at the table. 

Make it a priority to eat  at the table every day. Whatever meal you're eating and who you're with, sit down and enjoy your meal in privacy, away from your desk, the TV, and your to-do list. This will help you become more mindful and connected to your body, allowing you to be more intuitive and balanced in your food choices and intake,  supporting your overall health. 

Skip the scale. 

 I know this might be controversial for many, but hear me out. 

Weight is just one potential factor contributing to your health. Numerous different elements become an integral factor, and continuous weighing can build your gamble for dietary issues, poor emotional wellness, and weight vacillations. . Instead of keeping your scale in your bathroom, keep it  in your closet so the number on the scale doesn't affect your score, and observe over the course of a year how your body feels emotionally and physically. 

Participate in public recreational activities. 

Check out listings for local recreation centers and educational programs to find free time for group sports and activities. 

This is a fun and easy way to stay physically healthy while supporting your emotional and mental health by getting active as an adult and interacting with others and building community. 

 Indeed, consistently, even neglected.

Whether or not it's just for several minutes.

There are no excuses. 

This is  a very low physical hurdle to overcome and  a very effective action step. Not only will getting up and outside promote an active lifestyle, it will also help you feel less isolated and ultimately better. And when we feel good, we are more likely to make choices that better support our body and meet its needs. 

Review your social media.

Unfollow, unfriend, or unsubscribe from content that doesn't serve you. 

And do it regularly! 

Take time each week to review your feed and the time you spend on social media, and consider setting limits on your usage. Doing so will help  you return to your present life -- the here and now -- and prevent you from running away from reality. Consuming content can easily lead to an all-or-nothing mindset when it comes to health and wellness. Not to mention, living in a distracting, social media world can make it  hard to stay focused on your health goals and wellness. 

We all know that a lot of what we see online isn't real, and it's easy to forget. 

So start slow by choosing a goal,  habit, or behavior, and remember that you can always add  more as the year goes on. In fact, it might be a good idea to plan  a mid-year check-in column.
