Simple Fitness Habits to Keep You Feeling Youthful
29. Practicing Deliberate Eye Exercises

Our eyes need fitness too! Combat screen fatigue and support visual health with daily eye exercises. Practice focus shifting: look far away, then close up, repeat. Gently trace figure-eights with your eyes without moving your head. Try palming: rub hands together until warm, then gently cup over closed eyes for relaxation. These simple habits can reduce eye strain, improve focus flexibility, and support the visual acuity crucial for balance, reading, and confidently navigating your surroundings, helping you stay sharp and engaged.
30. Mastering Strategic Hydration Habits

Beyond just drinking water (#10), make how you hydrate a consistent habit. Always start your day with a glass of water to rehydrate post-sleep. Keep a water bottle perpetually in sight – your desk, bag, car – as a visual cue. Set timed reminders if needed. Sip water consistently throughout the day, not just when thirsty (thirst signals dull with age). Proper hydration fuels energy, lubricates joints, supports cognitive function, and keeps skin plump – all vital for feeling and looking youthful.
