I try to eat well, and not over do it. It has been REALLY hard lately though. Too many carbs this past month and a half.
@thoughtfulmomma
thoughtfulmomma, it's good to hear you're taking care of what you eat in these hard times. Hugs. Carbs are definitively good for the body but excessive amounts can contribute to health issues like anxiety, heard gluten too btw.
I take vitamins recommended by my doctor every day
@HappyDucky8
Hope they help Happy, lack of vitamins particularly essential ones like vitamin B12 can cause many issues in our bodies. I think it's a good idea to discuss vitamins with a doctor or nutritionist, not all of the brands offered in the shop are really beneficial.
@amiablePeace77
true. Not all are needed or helpful and some can be risky. Sorry if it's not ok to mention such substances but they are per doctors instructions.
I walk several times a day to take care of my horses. Always feel better out in the fresh air.
@barncat
Great habit and it also ensures that apart from horse cuddles you also get vitamin D
I spend at least an hour outdoor daily but now just in my little garden.
@faithlove1111
faithlove, it's good to have a little garden these days. Remember you mentioned once you like banana fritters, are you growing banana too in your garden?
@amiablePeace77 , No ,I do not have a banana plant . I have planted a couple of traditional veggies like moringa , ceylon spinach , star gooseberry leaves( sweet leaf) , rosselle leaves and Indian pennywort in my little garden. These are not commercial veggies but they are rich in minerals and vitamins.
@faithlove1111
Makes a lot of sense to have good veggies like that in the garden, particularly now. I too have a moringa tree and like to use the pods when they are very young, I cook them like beans. Do you cook them and the leaves as well?
@amiablePeace77, add one handful of the leaves to your eggs with some chopped chilli, ginger and salt . whisk them and make a great omelette . The leaves are high in potassium and sulphur so too much might make you run to the bathroom. One handful per serving per person per day or alternative days , should be okay.
@faithlove1111
That's a great idea, would never have thought about adding them to the omlette, thank you so much!
I'm trying to exercise everyday and eat well. Most days I do pretty well. Also trying to get outside when the weather permits.
@MissPen
Good to hear you have such a healthy routine. 
I try and get up early, go for a walk and do yoga. I eat healthy 90% of the time. I make sure to take time to focus on the arts (Music,reading, wirting,sketching) I keep a clean home. I try and spend time with friends. ( A little hard right now haha) I'd say coming on here helps. I also make sure to take my meds and vitamins.
@Goldcherry2113
You seem to know very well what you need, hope this all will be over soon and you can get back to visit your friends.
@amiablePeace77 What are your everydays healthy habits?
Stick to a routine as much as possible
Exercise Daily
Have quiet time to "let the dust settle"
Eat sensibly
Sleep Enough
Walk outside when I can
Do activities I usually do on zoom if possible
@soulsings
Sounds you're having really good habits soul! Haven't tried zoom yet, but that something I will definitively check this week 
@amiablePeace77
@amiablePeace
