When we think about leading a heart-healthy life along with sustainability, the first thing that comes to mind is healthy eating. If we dig deeper into healthy eating, it is organic foods that strikes us first. An organic lifestyle means living life as we are supposed to, in sync with nature. Adopting organic food habits is a trend that the whole world is embracing at a fast pace. However, transitioning to the organic world and building healthy habits can be challenging, especially if not habituated. However, what makes it so difficult to make solid, lasting change? Most people in India settle for whatever life gives them, and then they make excuses for why they can't achieve what they aspire. So, to change your habits, firstly you need to know them. Just like brushing and bathing, you will have to repeatedly work on habits to make your lifestyle a healthy one.
