These seven habits are easy to implement in your everyday lifestyle and will help get you healthy and fit for life: All of these excuses are valid in their own way, and yes, we’ve all been there. But if you really want to get—and stay—fit and healthy, you have to learn to give up your excuses and start making your health and fitness a top priority today. Instead, try following the 80/20 strategy: Eat healthy around 80% of the time, then let yourself have some treats here and there. Just make sure they’re really good ones! But vegetables are packed with important nutrients that keep your body healthy, and their fiber content also helps fill you up. So if you don’t love a plain salad, find ways to make your veggies interesting: Roast them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss them in a flavorful stir fry; or blend them into a juice so you don’t even know they’re there. If you don’t despise them, you’re much more likely to eat vegetables on a regular basis. See, I told you these seven habits were ridiculously easy to adopt!
