Diligently Drinking Fruit And Vegetable Juices Since Childhood, Luna Maya Is Not Easily Tired

JAKARTA - Luna Maya has been living a healthy lifestyle since she was young thanks to her mother's influence. The habit of drinking vegetable and fruit juices (juicing), for example, slowly formed from when he was little, although at first he felt compelled. According to him, the family plays an important role in encouraging a person's healthy living habits.

"If this pattern does not come from the family since childhood, it will definitely be out of habit (habit). And starting it will definitely be harder and harder because it's starting a new habit," said Luna quoted from ANTARA, Thursday, June 16.

"Starting a new habit does require commitment and a strong will, the will to achieve a goal (goals), so you must first know what the goal is," he added.

The way he usually does to start a new habit is to set the pace of change gradually. Luna gave an example, when she wanted to go on a juice diet or only consume vegetable and fruit juices, she did it gradually starting from three days and then trying for five days to seven days.

"Just step by step. So we will see, if there is a gradual change, we will immediately feel a change. But the first three days or the first week must be very difficult, "said Luna.

The method to start a new habit, said Luna, is the same as learning to fast for half a day which is done from an early age for Muslims. After becoming a habit, every time the month of Ramadan arrives, fasting is no longer a burden because you have realized your obligations to yourself.

The same applies if you want to reduce the consumption of less nutritious and less nutritious foods. The portion of the type of food that is not good can be reduced little by little. Luna doesn't recommend changing habits in extreme ways that suddenly erase old habits.

Likewise in sports habits. For people who are not used to doing sports, Luna suggests starting from walking regularly, for example walking around the house five times while listening to music. This method, said Luna, is indirectly similar to meditation so that you can be more connected to yourself.

“After getting used to the river walk, start jogging. If you can't stand one kilometer, walk again. Then run again, walk again," he said.

Luna also underlined the importance of always “listening” to one's own body. He said that the body will usually send a signal when a person no longer or stops doing certain habits.

“When (a healthy lifestyle) has become a habit, if you stop, your body will definitely ask questions, especially for those who are used to sweating (exercise). For example, if I don't sweat a day, it's really not good because there are no endorphins that come out," said Luna.

After implementing a healthy lifestyle consistently, Luna herself admits that she has more stored energy and doesn't feel tired easily.

"For sure I don't feel tired, I have a lot of energy, even though my body is starting to get tired. Sometimes I feel sleepy, but somehow I can work seven days non-stop and travel everywhere,” he said.
