How to Lead a Healthy Lifestyle

By: Nurul Athirah Assan

From my recent observation, many students are not taking proper

care of their health. They have to cope with such things like lessons,
extra-curricular activities and social events. They tend to forget about
their health in order to accomplish everything within a short span of time.
This will eventually take its toll on the students themselves. Hence, I
would like to share some tips on how to lead a healthy lifestyle.
First of all, you have to practise personal hygiene. For example,
wash your hands frequently especially before or after handling food and
also brush your teeth twice a day. Keeping yourself clean helps prevent
the spreading of bacteria. Another way is you have to take balanced
meals. Your bodies need sufficient nutrition to sustain your activities. You
should avoid eating junk food and fried food as they are unhealthy.
Apart from that, you need to drink a lot of water. It is advisable to
drink at least eight glasses of water. This can prevent dehydration in your
body. You should also get adequate sleep which is seven to eight hours a
day. Having a proper rest and sufficient sleep are important so that you
can wake up energized the next day.
Next, you should have regular exercise. You can do aerobics or just
plain walking and jogging. Set aside at least three times a week to
exercise. This activity will keep you fit and build your stamina at the same
time.
Last but not least, share your problems with others. do not keep
your problems to yourself as it will lead to stress. You can talk to your
friend or school counselor or whoever you are comfortable with.
These are a few tips on how to live a healthy lifestyle. Life is a
precious gift from God and therefore it is your responsibility to take care of
your own well-being. You have to get your priorities right before you
become the victim of your own carelessness. After all, prevention is better
that cure.

How to lead a healthy lifestyle

What is a healthy lifestyle? One may ask. A healthy lifestyle is
having a lifestyle filled with good and positive things in many aspects
such as mental, physical and emotional well-being. One needs to maintain
his health so that he is able to function normally in life.
To live a healthy lifestyle, we must always have a balanced diet. A
balanced diet consists of all seven classes of food on their tight
proportions including carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, fats
fibre and water. If we do not abide by this rule, we may get sick easily. In
other words, we need to eat right in order to stay healthy.

Besides that, we must also do regular exercise for at least three

days a week. Exercise help in improving one’s stamina, physical strength
and agility. During exercise, our body will be able to take in more oxygen
and increasing metabolism for healthier cells. Therefore, we can maintain
our health by exercising more often.
Not only that, we must have enough rest and sleep after we have done
something strenuous. Enough rest and sleep for as long as eight hours
will help us to recover energy that we have lost during the day. In fact,
once we recharge through enough rest and sleep, we can do our job or
carry out daily routine vigorously.

In addition to this, we should also get a hobby such as reading,

playing chess, listening to music, surfing the internet, watching television
and so on. We need to have a hobby for us to spend our time more
productively instead of wasting time aimlessly. With hobbies, we can even
find common grounds with our friends to share and enjoy together.

Furthermore, we must have a healthy social life. We can improve

our social life by having friends to talk to spend our time with. If we face
any problems, we can have a friend to lean on. Get someone to talk to
when you are under a lot stress and surely you can relieve your pressure
that way more effectively than other way.
 Finally, we must also stay away from negative habits such as
smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs. It is important to know that
such habits can harm our health and may even lead to our death. Life is
precious so we should not waste it on negative lifestyle.
As a conclusion, practicing a healthy life will bring us more benefits than
we think. Those who live a healthy lifestyle, tend to enjoy a longer and
happier life. We can too if we start to follow the right steps towards
healthy lifestyle today.
