Convenient health routines provide better results.
Health and self-care routines are becoming simpler and more streamlined to meet ever-increasing expectations for both results and convenience.
Streamlining routinesIt's been established that having a routine suited to your lifestyle is an essential part of maintaining optimum health and self-care. Routines provide a framework for consistency in practicing good dietary, exercise and sleep habits. However, when routines fail to help establish healthy living patterns, it is usually because they have become too complicated or intrusive.
Psychology studies have found that one of the main factors in adhering to long-term wellness habits is for a routine to be streamlined and convenient. This is because the key to making a routine work for you, and getting the maximum benefits from it, is to be able to apply it consistently. In today's world of constant connectedness and increasing demands on our time, the more convenient a routine is to apply into our daily lives, the easier it will be to stick to it.
What about convenience?Convenience is increasingly becoming considered less of a luxury or perk, and more of a necessity, even an expectation. It is often the deciding factor in many everyday choices, from how you're going to get to work, to what food you're going to prepare, have delivered or go eat, to what supplements you're going to choose, to when and where you're going to work out. It all comes down to convenience. We are naturally evolved to choose the things that require the least cognitive energy and decision making yet still provide the results we are looking for.
Diet and nutrition
Having and keeping a healthy diet can be a lot of work, to the point of seeming overwhelming. Time and thought have to be put into grocery shopping and meal preparation. The good thing is that there are ways and options to avoid some of the time and decision making required to maintain a good diet. With just a little bit of planning, meals can be made ahead of time for few days in advance. In addition, there are more ready-to-eat healthy snacks, prepared meals, and meal services available now than ever before, in answer to the demand and expectation of more convenience. Healthy food and diet habits become an automatic choice when they are the easiest choice.
Exercise options and accessibility is drastically different and more convenient now. Streaming fitness routines, wearable technology and virtual classes mean you no longer have to commute or rearrange your schedule to make exercise part of your regular routine. Many people opt for getting set up to workout at home rather than take the time to go to a health club or gym. Unless, of course, going to the health club isn't out of the way and doesn't take up more time. A recent survey showed that around 60% of people who regularly work out now mix home-based and gym-based routines for flexibility and convenience.
The continued growth of Riize oral dissolving film supplement strips illustrates the fact that convenience has become a major differentiator in the supplement industry. Studies show that consumers increasingly prefer supplement formats that fit their busy, on-the-go lifestyles. Single-serve units such as gummies and oral dissolving films (ODFs) are becoming the favored choices, increasing regular use, and eliminating the need for swallowing pills or mixing powders. In addition to wanting supplements that are highly portable, people are also looking for fast-acting options, which is where Riize ODFs are up to 5X superior to any other format, including gummies.
Simplifying wellnessDecades of reports have shown that health clubs register very high dropout rates in the first 3 to 6 months of starting an exercise routine. Factors of convenience and the complexity of the routine are most likely what results in a failure to meet expectations, followed by dropping out altogether. If going to the club or gym puts a strain on an already busy day because it's out of the way or takes up too much time to actually go in, change, workout and get back home, it's much more likely that you will either not go consistently, or at all.
It's easy to become overwhelmed by every new superfood, meal plan, fitness app and workout device. The sheer volume of advice and options can be overwhelming, especially in a time of constant input. It's where minimalist wellness has a needed and valuable role to play. It's not about ignoring self-care, but rather, simplifying it. By focusing on the things that truly make a difference, you can improve both your health and your sense of well-being without feeling the stress of chasing every trend and bit of micro-advice. In reality, exercise and self-care is much less complicated (and expensive) than we are often led to believe. Simplifying your wellness is simply (no pun intended) about removing the "noise". It focuses on keeping your health routines simple, sustainable and meaningful.
• Decide what the few habits are that really matter and prioritize those.
• Don't feel pressured to have to do everything "perfectly".
• Develop and build routines that you can do consistently without burning you out.
It can be said that the 3 pillars of a healthy, balanced life of self-care are:
1. Diet (nutrition).
2. Physical activity (exercise).
3. Sleep (recovery).
The core pillars of minimalist wellness are essentially the same, with some slight additions and nuances:
• Diet - eat whole, simple foods, including plenty of hydration.
• Physical activity - find things that you enjoy and move in ways that you enjoy.
• Sleep - make the goal to get quality sleep in addition to the proper amount (quantity).
• Check in with yourself - be self-aware of all aspects of your wellness. How are you?
Just as convenience can greatly improve all aspects of practicing wellness in your life, be aware that it can also be detrimental if followed the wrong way. What does this mean? Related primarily to diet and nutrition, convenience is an ever-beckoning lure for the many options of quick, processed, unhealthy food and drink choices. Once in a rare while... ok. But be aware if you are habitually choosing convenient unhealthy choices over convenient healthy ones. Let the healthy convenience become the habit.
