Healthy habits that stick

Here are five rules that helped me develop good habits.

1. Pick habits you honestly want to have

I didn’t choose habits I thought I should add because of what anyone else was doing. 1. It was about listening to myself.

2. Build your habit your own way

When I started to build up an exercise routine(习惯), I only went when I wanted to go. For me, that was around 2 pm every day. 2. If I wanted to do 20 minutes on the bike, I’d do only 20 minutes and then leave.

3. Start small

I knew that if I tried to take on too much, I’d find a way to make an excuse. 3. I started with two minutes of exercise, which were finally built up to 10, then 20 minutes. I realized that just doing something, no matter how small, meant I was more likely to do it again the next day.

4. Be kind to yourself

4. When I got a cold and missed several days of exercise, I didn’t beat myself up. Instead of punishing myself, I tried to love myself --- and that had a more enjoyable and lasting effect.

5. Celebrate every small victory

When I began keeping a diary every morning, I put a number in the corner of each page to show how many diaries I had written. 5. Finally, after I filled up a notebook, I celebrated buying a new notebook.

A. If I missed a day, I let it go.

B. I can make exercise less boring.

C. So my daily purposes were very small.

D. I celebrated my pen running out of ink.

E. It wasn’t about keeping up with other people.

F. I should celebrate my success with my friends.

G. It also meant that I would do whatever I wanted to do once I got there.

Here are five cooking habits that could be costing you important nutrients, causing you to overeat——or even making you sick.

Boiling vegetables

A 2015 review showed that boiling vegetables resulted in a high loss of vitamin C. 1. "If you're not drinking a soup, you're missing out on nutrients," says Nishta Saxena, a dietitian based in Toronto .

Washing chicken

While your favourite old cookbooks likely tell you to wash a chicken before cooking, this outdated advice is a safety risk. Cleaning meat in water may remove some of the bacteria, but it's also likely to pass it around your kitchen. 2. And clean your hands after you've finished the cooking.

Removing skins from fruits and vegetables

"Large amounts of nutrients are found in the skins." says Liz Powell, who is a dietitian from Vancouver. " Concern about chemical remains isn't a good enough reason to do the removing. 3."

Mixing everything

A smoothie (a mixed drink) is a smart way to eat some greens. 4. They're often short of protein and healthy fat. These things work together to keep us feeling full and satisfied. Without them, it's not really a balanced meal, Powell suggests adding some foods which contain protein or having a piece of wholewheat(全麦的)bread on the side.

Overdressing salads

We think we can add anything to salads, and they'll still be a nutritious choice. But it's just not true. If you're topping your bowl with dried strawberries and sweet cheese, you've easily added 30 grams of sugar to your so-called healthy lunch. 5.

A. You should choose healthy produce for your family.

B. But these kinds of drinks are likely to be unbalanced.

C. To stay safe, don't wash the meat when preparing it.

D. Cabbage. for example, loses about 33 % of its vitamin C.

E. Nuts are better choices to improve the taste of your greens.

F. The skins of potatoes contain more nutrients than its inside part.

G. Washing your produce will remove some chemicals from the surface.

Recently, I’ve been following a simple rule that is helping me crush procrastination(拖延症) and making it easier for me to stick to good habits at the same time．1. There are two parts to the 2-Minute Rule.

Part 1—If it takes less than two minutes，then do it now．

2. For example，washing your dishes immediately after your meal，tossing the laundry in the washing machine，taking out the garbage，sending that email，and so on．

If a task takes less than two minutes to complete，then follow the rule and do it right now．

Part 2—When you start a new habit，it should take less than two minutes to do．

Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not．But，every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less．3.

It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals，but I beg to differ．The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life．4. I love the 2-Minute Rule because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started．

The most important part of any new habit is getting started—not just the first time，but each time．It’s not about performance，it’s about consistently taking action．

I can’t guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you．5. Anyone can spare the next 120 seconds．Use this time to get one thing done．Go．

A. I call this little strategy the “2-Minute Rule”．

B. And that’s the purpose behind this little rule．

C. Here’s what you need to know to stop procrastinating．

D. Once you start doing something，it’s easier to continue doing it．

E. But，I can guarantee that it will never work if you never try it．

F. The goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing．

G. It’s surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less．
