Yoga, cleanses, detoxes, and more. These were once the hallmarks of a well-balanced lifestyle. But after the peak of the clean living movement, a bit of fatigue with this kind of hyper-controlled lifestyle seemed prevalent. As it turns out, a healthy lifestyle isn’t just about achieving perfection: it’s really about balance. Here are some small consistent steps one can take to achieve this kind of balance.
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
This is the easiest and most underrated habit. Drinking water, several glasses throughout the day if possible, can improve energy levels, mood, and digestion, while helping to prevent dehydration-related fatigue and headaches.
2. Move Your Body
Whether it’s a long walk with your dog, a quick stretch between meetings, or your favorite gym class, daily movement goes a long way toward keeping you grounded and energized.
3. Prioritize Sleep
Sleep is your body’s reset button. A solid 7–9 hours can improve cognitive function, mood, and even your metabolism. It’s one of the most restorative habits out there.
4. Give Yourself Screen Breaks
Too much phone or laptop time can leave you overstimulated and drained. Step away now and then to give your brain a breather—and your eyes a break.
5. Take A-Minus After Drinking
Taking A-Minus after drinking is a simple habit that one can develop to stave off the most negative effects of drinking. The activated carbon works hard to eliminate as much of acetaldehyde from the body as possible, increasing your odds of a better day the next day. It works by binding acetaldehyde the toxic byproduct of alcohol to the activated carbon in A-Minus in a process called adsorption (think lock and key!) and expelling it all from the body.
Good habits work like dominoes. A-Minus helps you sleep better, which makes it easier to hydrate, move, and stay present the next day. That’s how real wellness builds—habit by habit, moment by moment.
So don’t chase perfection. Stack your habits. And let A-Minus be one of them.
