Good habits Adopt.

1) Create and stick with a sleep routine


“You can’t really catch up on sleep. You need to get a sufficient amount every day, which is why it’s important to stick to a regular sleep schedule,”  who tells her patients to aim for eight hours of sleep per night.



2) Exercise every day 

Good Habits: Exercise every day 

 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week, and suggests people aim for 30 minutes per day, five days a week. “Living a sedentary lifestyle can lead to serious health conditions — heart attack, stroke, obesity,” cautions Fudala.

How to make the change: Break it down into smaller increments.  that the half an hour per day doesn’t have to be accomplished all at once and suggests less time-intensive efforts, like a 10-minute walk during lunch, parking the car farther away and taking the stairs instead of the elevator. “These can all add up over the course of a day,” 







3) Slow down when eating and take a mealtime “time out”



“We get in the habit of quickly eating our meals so we can scurry off to the day’s next task and we often tune out our bodies’ fullness cues,”  However, rushing through mealtime is not the best approach as it can mask your body’s fullness .

How to make the change:   taking a mealtime “time out” 10 to 15 minutes into a meal can give you time to feel your body’s fullness. Pause for a couple of deep breaths, a conversation with whomever you are eating with, and ask yourself how you are feeling. “This doesn’t mean you have to stop eating, but it may tell you that you are nearing fullness or perhaps that you are still quite hungry,” 







4) Start cleaning out your contact lens case

When was the last time you cleaned your contact case? And do you replace your case every three to six months as recommended by the CDC?


“Remember, you are storing a medical device that you place into your eyes daily. You want to prevent harm and infection to your eyes, so it is a must that your cases stay clean,” 


“Most of my female patients are good about changing out their eye makeup and mascara regularly, but never think to clean their cases,” she adds.


How to make the change: “The best way to care for your cases is to rinse them with the same disinfecting solution that you use to clean your lenses, then let the case air-dry face down,” Allison says. Contact lens cases cost just a couple dollars. Stock up on several and put reminders in your calendar to change them at the start of every quarter. It’s also a good idea to change your mascara and eye makeup at the same time.

  Like many mental health disorders, several factors may contribute to development of drug addiction. The main factors are: Environment. Environmental factors, including your family's beliefs and attitudes and exposure to a peer group that encourages drug use, seem to play a role in initial drug use. Genetics. Once you've started using a drug, the development into addiction may be influenced by inherited (genetic) traits, which may delay or speed up the disease progression. Changes in the brain Physical addiction appears to occur when repeated use of a drug changes the way your brain feels pleasure. The addicting drug causes physical changes to some nerve cells (neurons) in your brain. Neurons use chemicals called neurotransmitters to communicate.
