5-Minute Habits That Transform Your Health (Backed by Science)

The Power of Micro-Habits

Stanford research shows that small, consistent actions create more lasting change than ambitious overhauls. These tiny habits require minimal willpower but yield significant benefits.

Habit 1: Morning Sunlight Exposure

Viewing sunlight within 30 minutes of waking regulates circadian rhythms and boosts serotonin.

How To:

Drink your coffee outside or by a sunny window.

Habit 2: The 2-Minute Rule

If a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it immediately. This prevents small tasks from accumulating into stress.

Example:

Washing dishes right after eating prevents kitchen pile-up.
