5 Inexpensive Hobbies for a Healthy life
Posted on April 6th, 2023

We all have different images of our perfect, healthy lifestyle. For some, it's focused more on the physical aspects, and for others, it's on the mental ones. But no matter which you are more focused on, they are both equally important, and we have carefully selected these 5 habits to back up all of the different aspects needed for the 'perfect' healthy lifestyle. Reading The first habit on our list is reading. 

Reading

Reading helps us to calm the mind as it takes away all of our intrusive negative thoughts by transporting us to other fantastical worlds or by helping us to focus on our self-improvement journey (non-fiction). But the truly amazing thing about reading is that it comes with so many extra benefits, such as:

  • better sleep
  • increased vocabulary
  • lower blood pressure
  • heart rate
  • improved empathy 

Somehow, there are even more benefits to reading than just those, meaning that it is a must-add to your daily routine. Just read for at least 15 minutes every day to gain all of these countless benefits. 

Meditation

Meditation is another healthy habit for your brain and has been around for many, many years. For good reason, it significantly lowers stress levels and decreases blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels. Meaning that when combined with reading they can quickly transform your mental health for the better. And good mental health is ultimately the foundation needed for a healthy lifestyle. Meditation needs regular practice, but unlike reading only as little as 10 minutes a day can make an enormous improvement to your mind. If you don't already practice meditation you are missing out, I can say from personal experience that within a matter of days, you can see the benefits. You find yourself with a much calmer mind, and all of your stress just miraculously disappears. Out of all in habits on this list, I would have to recommend meditation the most.

Fresh Air

It is vital to try and get fresh air whenever you can, but what do we mean by fresh air? Fresh air can be any form of exercise outside, ranging from low-intensity exercises such as walking or yoga all the way to high-intensity exercises like running or sports. Fresh air has many incredible benefits and when paired with regular exercise it is one of the most healthy activities that we can partake in. So what are these amazing benefits:

  • Increased energy levels
  • Regulates blood pressure and heart rate
  • Reduced feelings of anxiety and depression

Much like meditation, it has many more benefits than only the ones highlighted above, and exercise, in general, is great but when you conduct it in an open 'fresh air' space as the benefits are increased drastically.
