HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Today I come to talk about the things we need to have

good health.
We need to drink at least 1.5 litres of fluid a day! Or more
if it's very hot or if we are doing physically active.
Physical activity is important for people of all weight
ranges and health conditions.
Fruits and vegetables are among the most important foods
for giving us enough vitamins, minerals and fibre. 
Fats are important for good health and proper functioning
of the body. However, too much of it can negatively affect
our weight and cardiovascular health.

In short, having a good diet and a good physical

exercise is good for health.
What do we need to have a good healthy lifestyle?
These five areas were chosen because previous studies
have shown that they have a major impact on the risk of
premature death. Here's how these healthy habits were
defined and measured:

1. Healthy diet, calculated and classified based on the

reported intake of healthy foods, such as vegetables, fruits,
nuts, whole grains, healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids
and unhealthy foods, such as red and processed meats,
sweetened with sugar drinks, trans fat and sodium.

2. Healthy physical activity level, measured as at least 30

minutes a day of moderate to vigorous activity daily.

3. Healthy body weight, defined as a normal body mass

index, which is between 18.5 and 24.9.

4. Smoking, well, there is not a healthy amount of

smoking. "Healthy" here meant never smoking.

5. Moderate alcohol.
