34 Good Habits for Building a Healthy, Happy, and Successful Lifestyle

Let me provide a heartfelt translation of this text in English to better convey the emotion and intent of the author:

If you can do just one more thing than last year, then you are making progress! But if you can do many more things, it's like a complete transformation!

Without further ado, let's begin:

1. When setting your alarm, set it 10 minutes earlier to avoid rushing and panicking when it goes off. Give your mind and body more time to wake up.
2. Brush your teeth at least twice a day - once in the morning and once before bed - for a full 2 minutes each time.
3. Use dental floss and fluoride toothpaste to prevent tooth decay. Healthy teeth lead to a beautiful smile... and excellent appetite!
4. If you've been using the same toothbrush for 3 months, it's time to replace it. If the bristles are bent or discolored, it's even more important to replace it promptly.
5. After using a towel, scrub it clean, wring it out, unfold it, and hang it up.
6. Drink a glass of water after waking up.
7. If you need to go to the bathroom, don't hold it in. And if you don't need to go, don't waste time sitting on the toilet.
8. Try not to read or use your phone while on the toilet, and take care of business in three to five minutes. Otherwise, you may slowly develop recurrent hemorrhoids or a sudden prolapse.
9. Take a look at the size and color of your stool after going to the bathroom, and be aware of any abnormalities.
10. If you have high blood pressure or diabetes, follow your doctor's instructions to take your medication on time and in the correct dosage. Do not change the type or amount of medication on your own, and do not substitute medication with health supplements.

• Whether you're studying, working, playing games, or watching TV, remember to stand up and move around after sitting for a long time. Especially when you encounter a bottleneck in your work or can't win in a game, standing up is always the best choice.
• It's best to have a good breakfast and start the day with full energy.
• Don't keep snacks on your desk, sofa, coffee table, or bedside table. Hide them in the fridge, high cabinets, deep drawers, or just leave them on the shelves of a convenience store instead of bringing them home.
• Replace puffed food with nuts, dairy products, and fruits.

• It's best to buy plain nuts, unsweetened or low-sugar dairy products, and fresh fruits instead of fried fruit chips or candied fruits.
• Wearing high heels all day can be beautiful but tiring. Remember to keep a comfortable pair of shoes in the office. Women should treat themselves better by starting with a pair of sturdy, well-fitting, and cushioned shoes.
• Put a cushion on the chair or sofa where you often sit to support your back.
• Whether you're lifting heavy objects or picking up a piece of paper from the ground, squat first and then straighten your waist to pick it up. Bending directly puts a lot of pressure on your waist and can easily cause injuries.
• Walk neither lazily nor hastily. Lift your buttocks, take big steps, keep your head up, and tuck in your stomach. Remind yourself not to hunch over, as it can cause neck pain and back muscle stiffness.
• Ventilate your room frequently, especially when the outdoor air is good.
• Wear an N95 mask and turn on an air purifier when the outdoor air quality is poor.
• It's best to eat at least 1 jin (500 grams) of vegetables a day, with dark green vegetables accounting for more than half.

• It's best to drink a cup of milk a day.
• It's best to eat at least 25 different kinds of food every week.
• Pay attention to supplementing high-quality protein, and choose chicken, fish, shrimp, eggs, and dairy products first.
• Eat less red meat, sausages, ham, and smoked meat.
• When eating out, avoid dishes with the words "dry-fried," "red-cooked," "dry pot," "water-boiled," "stir-fried," or "braised" on the menu. This can silently reduce the amount of calories you consume.
• Chew food on both sides of your mouth instead of always using one side. Otherwise, the habit of using one side will double the wear on your teeth, and the facial muscles may look uneven due to uneven force.
• Chew slowly and swallow carefully to avoid burning your mouth and reduce digestive problems caused by swallowing gas.
• The longer food is left at room temperature, the more microorganisms will multiply. Therefore, if you know that you cannot finish the food immediately after cooking, divide it into portions and put it in the refrigerator. Meat dishes can be stored for up to 2 days, and vegetable dishes should be consumed within 1 day.
• Don't always drink white rice congee. It raises blood sugar quickly, has a single nutrient, and doesn't benefit your stomach.
• Take a 20-minute nap at noon, preferably lying down or lying on your stomach, but not pressing your face or eyes.
