Did you know that friendship is actually good for your health? Studies show that friendship can have extremely positive effects on the physical and psychological state. Researchers have found that strong social connections can be very important to one's health, just like regular exercise and leading a healthy lifestyle.
The methods you can stick with your friends to start good habits and achieve your goals are simple and effective.
Experts advise to start by buying fruits and vegetables together. Buy groceries, wash them, cut them and then share them with a friend. Besides being fun, it will add variety to your daily diet.
Eating and drinking are a central part of socializing, but experts advise that the next time you're thinking about what to do with a friend, stay away from food and alcohol. Be active instead. Plan to talk on a walk or anything else that involves being on the move.
Before going out in the evening, find time to eat a healthy meal with a friend first. Small sensible meals will slow down the absorption of alcohol, and if you combine dinner with plenty of water you can prevent the need for sweets.
Have fun while you're out. Play games like soccer or beach volleyball.
Additionally, motivate each other to start something new and be consistent, as friends can help you start making positive changes in your life and motivate you to stay active.
