This is an ongoing process, but we've put together a nice list of healthy choices all women should make. Browse through the gallery and start making positive changes in your life today!

We know, we know, Netflix! That's fine, just don't binge on it every day for four hours.

▲No more going to bed with your mascara on and waking up the next day looking like the Joker.

▲If you're unable to get a standing desk, just move around during your breaks at work.

▲Keeping hydrated is so important. Drinking more water can do wonders for your body.

▲Stop doing stuff you don't feel excited about. Exercise should be fun!

▲Extreme weight loss can be very dangerous for your health, so make sure you research the diet before starting, or visit a nutritionist.

▲We've all been guilty of this and it's time to make our health our number one priority. If you can afford it, you should try to stay home.

▲Constant stress is bad for just about everything in your body. Make sure you take a break from whatever it is that gets your stress levels up.

▲Preparing multiple meals in advance will make your life easier, healthier, and you'll save money too!

▲The sun is great, but you can still enjoy it with your skin protected and moisturized.

▲The expression "beauty sleep" does exist for a reason. Sleep is good for you physically and mentally. Do we need to say more?

▲Log off, disconnect, and switch off from time to time. It might be harder than you think.

▲Get out more. Just wander into the woods or go for a walk on the beach. It's important to keep in contact with nature.

▲It's hard with all the BPAs and other chemicals found in simple things such as plastic bottles. But if you can, avoid them.

▲Would you neglect you car's engine? No? So, take care of yours too.

▲Life is too short to argue over petty things. Evaluate if it's worth fighting over before going all in.

▲If you have a balanced, healthy lifestyle, eating a slice of cake is not a big deal.

▲You should not neglect your mental health. If you feel something isn't right, seek help. Sooner is always better than later.

▲Try not to rely solely on supplements to get all your nutrients in.

▲Do this regularly. It's easy to forget when we feel good, but it's important to keep on top of our health.

▲This is something many of use overlook, but it's important, especially as we grow older.

▲The relationship between patient and physician should be one you feel comfortable about.

▲While general medical checkups are also important, you need to make sure you're taking care of ALL aspects of your body.

▲We're so busy that we tend to revert to the same old meals all the time. It's time to make a change.

▲It's important for your mental health that you keep in regular contact with your friends.

▲You can do this in a number of ways and in a number of places. It can really help you live a more peaceful life.

▲We all get carried away from time to time, but try not to abuse alcohol—it brings nothing positive to your life.

▲If you want/need birth control, it's time to finally find the right one for you.

▲It's time to quit. If you're a smoker, look for help. There are plenty of ways to quit this bad habit.
