5 Tips for Creating Healthy Habits in Daily Life

The concern about reducing the incidence of diseases and increasing the quality of life has made many Brazilians include healthy habits in their daily lives. More than escaping from sedentary lifestyle, the population has been selecting what is consumed in meals with better care.

According to data from Kantar Worldpanel, 27% of Brazilian households have made changes in diet. For that, they are increasing the consumption of fruits, natural juices and reducing the consumption of red meat, sugar, and soft drinks.

Refined sugar lost ground to demerara, which increased its consumption from 6.9% to 10.6%, which means it achieved more than two million new households in 2018.

Soft drinks stopped from being present in 222,000 households between 2017 and 2018. UHT milk lost preference in 611,000 households in the same period, making room for lactose-free milk, which grew 7.9% in volume.

This data reaffirms the need for companies to rethink the ingredients that make up the production process of their products.

In the search for healthy habits, Brazilians invest time reading labels and buying only from the brands that are aligned with their desired consumption.

How to foster the need for healthy habits in daily life?

By understanding the need from new consumers, companies indirectly become part of the daily lives of those who have already chosen or are seeking to acquire healthy habits.

A kick in physical inactivity and the adoption of a proper diet reduce the risk of diseases, even cancer, and help the body become stronger.

Learn about some healthy habits that have been transforming people’s lives:

1 – Water Ingestion

Water helps to hydrate the body and makes the skin smoother. Lack of hydration can cause headaches and compromise the function of important organs such as the kidneys.

2 – The end of physical inactivity

Practicing exercises helps in breathing, strengthens muscles, improves joints, increases lean body mass, and aids in blood flow. Walking, gymnastics, dancing, and cycling are some activities embraced by consumers.

3 – Good sleep

Paying attention to experts’ advice, Brazilians are making an effort to sleep six to eight hours a night. To improve sleep, one of the strategies adopted by consumers consists of eating light and healthy food at supper.

4 – Leisure Time

Leisure must be a part of the list of healthy habits. A picnic with friends, a movie at the cinema or a walk in the park can be followed by healthy, easy-to-digest food.

5 – Attention to the Diet

Healthy habits include a proper diet, with products free of artificial ingredients such as colorings and flavorings. A good example is Blue Macaw Flora’s fruit bits, which are bits of dried apple topped with crispy fruit powder, all 100% natural.
