Healthy Habits

Why do we struggle so much to get rid of “bad habits” and at the same time build up “healthy habits”? What does healthy even mean? In today’s society, trying to find the right things to do can be overwhelming, and focussing on all of them is almost impossible. 

Our goal is to make building up “healthy habits” be fun and easy. In our project, we are focussing on daily challenges tackling different kinds of health: Physical, mental, as well as environmental health. Furthermore, we strongly believe that the social aspect plays a major role in order to be successful. Besides challenges that include friends, family or even strangers, we encourage participants to motivate each other by sharing pictures of performing their daily challenges with their closest friends.

This all sounds amazing and you want to be part of it? Our App "BeHealthy" which will enable you to configure the challenges, share motivating pictures and track your progress will be launched very soon! If you already want to stay up to date and be the first one to know when the App is launched, you can already follow our Instagram account @behealthy_tum where we will share any updates. 

We believe that small daily changes can lead to significant improvements in well-being. Lets make these changes together to foster a healthier community across TUM, Munich and beyond!
