Digital Desk: Traditional resolutions can be considerably more complex and ineffective than developing basic lifestyle habits. January 2022 isn't only the start of a new year; it's also the ideal time to assess your wellness regimen and re-energize your life.

Rather than making significant life changes like quitting social media or losing weight, focus on the small things, whether it's taking time to engage in activities you enjoy on a regular basis, eating more veggies, or limiting phone usage. 

That way, you'll work towards your larger goals without feeling overwhelmed and learn something new about yourself during a less-stressful process. It's truly a win-win situation.

These are five lifestyle habits that you must adopt in 2022

Include vegetables in your daily diet

It is critical to include veggies in your meals daily. Veggies are high in nutrients and antioxidants, which help you stay healthy and avoid disease while also assisting in weight loss due to their low-calorie level. Every day, 2 cups of veggies should be ingested, although this may be challenging for some of you. Some of you struggle to eat enough veggies each day, while others are unsure how to prepare them in a tasty way.

Drink 2-3 liters of water every day

Even slight dehydration has emotional and physical consequences. It has a substantial impact on your energy levels and cognitive performance. Staying hydrated is essential for sustaining energy, minimizing headaches, and various other benefits. Make sure you drink enough water every day. It's one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself. To make sure you finish your daily quota, start with a glass of water when you wake up and set reminders throughout the day.

Get on a better sleep schedule.

Let 2022 be the year that you finally take control over your sleep schedule. Getting proper sleep affects so many areas of your life, including your appetite, mood, hormones, and general wellbeing. Plus, once you start prioritizing sleep, there's less chance of you being irritable, stressed, or inclined to snack.

Engage in 30 minutes activity of your choice

It's no secret that getting more exercise makes us healthier and fitter. According to research, as little as 30 minutes of physical activity per day can improve cardiovascular health, hormonal health, etc. If you can't get a workout in, you can dance, rehearse, or go for a walk. Your muscle strength, endurance, and balance should improve after 30 days. Plus, you'll notice a difference in how your clothes fit — that's a win!

Avoid using any electronics or devices 30 minutes before bedtime.

For many of us, it's the bedtime routine: change into pajamas, turn off the lights, slide into bed, and then reach for the phone.

It's something we're all guilty of. And, hey, you might even be guilty of it right now as you read this piece. But, since you're already here, you might as well take up all of this vital information before retiring to your bed!

Although it may be tempting to use your computer or phone before bed, studies have shown that these gadgets can disrupt sleep by decreasing the generation of melatonin, a natural hormone produced in the brain.
