Tips For Healthy Living

Posted by alinea on November 21st, 2018

A healthy lifestyle is important for everyone. Eating a healthy diet, managing stress, exercising, and having a good night’s sleep may help how you feel emotionally and physically.

What healthy living means

  • ‘Healthy living’ means maintaining a healthy lifestyle and introducing habits that improve your health.
  • It’s about enjoying yourself without risking your health. It’s what you eat and drink; sleeping well and managing stress. It’s about practicing safe sex, drinking alcohol responsibly and not abusing drugs. It’s about being physically active and staying connected with others.
  • It’s about being aware of any health risks related to your illness and its treatment, and working with your doctor to monitor these and then take action.
  • It’s taking responsibility for your overall health including having regular check-ups for your eyes and teeth.
  • It’s about feeling fitter physically, mentally and emotionally.

Many factors affect your health. Some you cannot control, such as your genetic makeup or your age. But you can make changes to your lifestyle. By taking steps toward healthy living, you can help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and other serious diseases:
