Building healthier habits doesn’t necessarily require an overhaul of your daily routine. Balance of Nature founder Dr. Douglas Howard and CEO Lex Howard say keeping things simple and consistent can make health goals easier to maintain over time.<\/p>\n
Live South contributor David Osmond sat down with the Howards as part of Amazing America 250, sponsored by Balance of Nature, to discuss nutrition, daily routines and why consistency matters when working toward personal wellness goals.<\/p>\n
Building Consistency Into Your Routine<\/p>\n
For Dr. Howard, health involves several interconnected areas, including what people put into their bodies, their physical well-being and their emotional or spiritual health.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsistency in all of those is what makes health,\u201d Dr. Howard said.<\/p>\n
His experience working with patients also showed him that consistently eating fruits and vegetables could be a challenge.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy goal was to simplify it,\u201d Dr. Howard said. \u201cIt wasn’t to make a product, it was to make healthier people.\u201d<\/p>\n
That idea eventually became part of the philosophy behind Balance of Nature Fruits & Veggies, a dietary supplement designed to make adding fruits and vegetables to a daily routine more convenient.<\/p>\n
Keep Healthy Habits Simple<\/p>\n
Lex Howard said one way to make a new habit stick is to connect it with something that’s already part of your everyday routine.<\/p>\n
\u201cConnect taking Balance of Nature’s fruits and vegetables back to something that you do every day\u2014brushing your teeth, getting in your car,\u201d Howard said.<\/p>\n
That could mean keeping a daily product somewhere you’re likely to see it, such as on a desk or kitchen counter.<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep it in front of you. Keep that routine going,\u201d Howard said. \u201cIt makes all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Howard agreed, recommending keeping healthy choices visible rather than tucked away and forgotten.<\/p>\n
Focus on Sustainable Routines<\/p>\n
Osmond and the Howards also acknowledged that consistency doesn’t necessarily mean perfection. Building a routine that is manageable day after day can help make personal goals feel more sustainable.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we’re consistent at anything that we have goals on, it just gives us peace of mind,\u201d Lex Howard said.<\/p>\n
