Whether you’re visiting the Aloha State or are fortunate enough to live in this tropical paradise, take advantage of the island lifestyle. Hawaii residents report feeling less stressed than people who live in other states, a result of their unique way of life. Here, the team at Heavenly Island Lifestyle, a restaurant in Waikiki, says to look for the following three signs.

Are You Living the Island Lifestyle?

1. You’re Active

Hawaii’s year-round beautiful weather makes staying active easy, and there’s no shortage of ways to get exercise no matter which island you’re on. Residents particularly love water sports like swimming, diving, surfing, and snorkeling, all of which provide a whole-body workout while allowing a glimpse of fascinating marine life. If you’re not especially close to the beach, you can also hike local trails and take in the tropical scenery while getting some cardio.

2. You Eat a Healthy Diet

Hawaii cuisine is made up of a wide range of influences, including Japanese, Filipino, and Chinese dishes. Many of these are seafood-based, making them low in unhealthy fats and high in protein. Better still, you’ll find fresh fish and locally grown products at many area restaurants. Looking for the best way to start your day? Hawaii grows many tropical fruits, which strengthen the immune system and aid in digestion.

3. You’re Always Outside

Whether you’re surfing the waves or soaking in the sun, living in Hawaii is all about appreciating nature. Plus, both exercise and sunshine are natural mood boosters, and the combination is a significant factor in why Aloha State residents feel more relaxed than other Americans.

When you’re looking for locally sourced, organic food to complement the Hawaii life, head to the in-house restaurant at the Shoreline Hotel Waikiki. There, Heavenly Island Lifestyle is proud to offer delicious dishes crafted from the freshest ingredients according to their motto, “Local first, organic whenever possible.” Whether you want loco moco or a simple fruit bowl, their varied menu is sure to please everyone.
