“Personality affects everything we do,” says Michael Mantell, senior fitness consultant for behavioral sciences for the American Council on Exercise. People who are open, says Mantell, tend to be imaginative, curious, and attentive to their inner feelings. Conscientiousness, he says, describes people who are careful, vigilant, highly organized, efficient, and self-disciplined. So it makes sense that both traits would be linked to healthy habits. If people want to motivate themselves to start eating healthy and they don’t feel particularly open or conscientious, Mantell says those traits can be developed.
