HEALTHY HABITS: 10 daily habits that changed my life (science-backed)

Healthy daily habits can transform your life. In this video, I share 10 daily habits that have helped not only my physical health, but also my mental and brain health. All the habits are backed by science so they really do work!

The healthy habits in the video are things that I strive to do everyday, but I don't put pressure on myself to be perfect all the time. Even if I can do these items at least 4-5 times a week, it's enough to see the benefits. The habits in this video include nutrition changes, lifestyle changes such as sleep and exercise and also a few things you can do for brain health and mental/emotional health. All the scientific references to back up any claims I make in the video are below.
