Making healthier choices isn’t just about short-term resolutions—it’s about sustainable habits that improve your well-being year-round. While motivation may dip after the first few weeks, committing to small, consistent changes can lead to long-term success. Whether choosing better ingredients, staying active, or managing stress, Flora makes heart-healthy living simple and delicious.
Why Healthy Resolutions Fail and How to Overcome It
Many people set ambitious health goals, but nearly 80% of resolutions are abandoned within two months (Forbes Health, 2023). The key to success is realistic, enjoyable, and practical adjustments rather than drastic overhauls. Here’s how to stick with your healthy habits:
- Set SMART Goals – Be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Instead of “eating healthier,” try: “I will prepare three heart-healthy meals per week using Flora.”
- Celebrate Progress – Every nutritious meal, every extra glass of water, and every short workout adds up. Recognising small wins helps maintain motivation.
- Enjoy the Journey – Healthy habits stick when they’re pleasurable. Pair your morning toast with Flora and a cup of tea to make healthy eating feel indulgent.
Easy Heart-Healthy Habits That Stick
- Eat More Plants
A plant-rich diet supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and promotes balanced cholesterol levels (British Heart Foundation, 2022). Made from plant-based oils, Flora provides a cholesterol-free alternative to butter, making creating nutritious, flavourful meals easy. - Stay Active Daily
The British Heart Foundation recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly. Whether it’s a brisk walk, yoga, or dancing, moving more helps maintain a healthy heart and mind. - Manage Stress for Heart Health
Chronic stress raises blood pressure and increases the risk of heart disease (American Psychological Association, 2023). To manage stress better, incorporate mindfulness, deep breathing, or journaling into your daily routine.
