TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - As 2024 fades into the past, a new chapter is ready to be written.
Reflections and resolutions are inextricably linked when it comes to welcoming in the New Year, often leading to a list of goals to pursue. Among these resolutions, adopting healthy habits frequently tops the list.
While resolutions can vary, Tempo English has curated a list of must-have healthy habits for 2025. These habits will not only benefit your life today, but also in the long run. And most importantly, they’re realistic and achievable!
List of Healthy Habits to Do in 2025
Citing Viome and Vogue, focusing on the health of your guts can be a great start for your overall well-being. Other things to improve includes:
1. Start a gut-friendly diet
The gut is home to over 100 trillion microorganisms that influence many bodily functions, including digestion, immune health, vitamin production, nutrient absorption, mental health, and sleep quality.
Given its profound impact on overall health, it’s essential to support gut health with a gut-friendly diet. Start by reducing ultra-processed foods (UPFs), limiting sugar intake, and tracking both micronutrients and macronutrients.
One of the key elements is fiber, as the journal Nutrients highlights that a high intake of natural dietary fiber is associated with fewer metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, ensuring better long-term well-being.
2. Exercise regularly
Exercise can often seem daunting or out of reach, but even small steps can make a big difference. Start with light activities, such as walking 2,500 steps a day, which Medical News Today shows can reduce all-cause mortality.
According to HealthLine, regular exercise can improve mood, help with weight management, boost energy levels, and improve sleep quality. With so many benefits, it's no wonder that regular exercise is a staple of most healthy habit resolutions.
3. Learn Something New
Engaging in new learning experiences improves brain health and memory. So as 2025 begins, don't hesitate to challenge yourself to learn something new - whether it's an art form, a new language, or a musical instrument.
Beyond the cognitive benefits, learning new skills can also boost confidence and help overcome fears and anxiety.
4. Schedule a social media detox
While social media is deeply ingrained in daily life, it can have a negative impact on mental health. McLean Hospital highlights anxiety and depression as two of the most common side effects.
A social media detox can be one of the simplest, yet most powerful healthy habits. It requires no money or excessive energy, and it offers multiple benefits, including improved sleep, reduced stress, and stronger relationships.
5. Create a screen-free bedtime routine
Smartphones and devices often dominate our days, and unfortunately, they invade our nights as well. The constant scrolling and screen exposure before bed can disrupt sleep quality.
To overcome this, you can create a rejuvenating, screen-free bedtime routine. Activities like reading a book, taking a warm bath, or journaling can help you unwind and prepare for a restful night's sleep.
As you make an effort to checklist these resolutions, know that the journey is for you. While you're on the path to maintaining your well-being, it's also great for you to develop high-income skills in 2025 as a financially-related resolution.
