Maintaining Healthy life style

Everybody wants to be healthy, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle is hard work. It is


not always easy to make healthy lifestyle choices. Today, the vital organs (kidney, heart,
lungs, gall bladder, liver, stomach, intestines, etc) may be working well, but they may not
be tomorrow. Take proper care of the body is as important as breathing. All of the major
causes of death (such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease and injury) can be
prevented in part by making healthy lifestyle choices.

To being as healthy as possible, the 3 basic components of maintaining a healthy


lifestyle are discussed below which are: diet,
lifestyle, and mental balance.

Step 1: Have a Healthy Diet


A healthy diet is essential in keeping our bodies
healthy.
1. More fruits and vegetables: Fruits contain
a surplus of vitamins and minerals.
Oranges offer more health benefits than
Vitamin C pills. Taking in synthetic
supplements is not the same as consuming
the foods directly from nature. Like fruits,
vegetables are also important for good health. Experts suggest 5-9 servings of
fruits/vegetables a day, but unfortunately most people don’t even have 5 servings. It is
important to get a little bit of every colored fruits.
2. Lean proteins, low-fat dairy and whole grains: In addition to fruits and vegetables,
the other food groups on the pyramid to keep the diet balanced. We all need protein
for our muscles and to grow, but make sure that it is lean proteins and meats. Diary
is essential for our bones, so low-fat dairy such as non-fat milk, cheese, or yogurt is
important. Carbohydrates can sometimes get a bad reputation, but we all need some
grains in our diet. This brown pastas and breads, oats, and quinoa. Remember that if
the grains are white, that usually means that it has been processed.
3. Eliminate process junk: The rule is that if something is in a
package, then it is probably processed. Food and snacks that are
processed contain additives that body will not know what to do
with, and end up just storing them away. Try to avoid things that
are pre-packed, as they also contain large amounts of salt which
gives feeling bloated and uncomfortable either way.
4. Water: We supposed to be drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day to
keep ourselves hydrated and healthy. To maintain or develop glowing
skin and keep other parts of body healthy, then make
sure that water intake should least 8 glasses a day.
5. Cook: Every food should cook correctly. Always use
the healthiest type of oil that can be olive,
sunflower, canola oil. Avoid fry foods and do not
over-salt the food.
6. Fats: With all the disgrace that sounds the word “fat”, it seems like we should
eliminate fat from our diet. However, our bodies need fat to keep our hair shiny, our
nails healthy, and our digestive system on track. Some sources of good fats are: olive
oil, avocado, and nuts.

Step 2: Have a Healthy Lifestyle

In addition to diet, our lifestyle choices impact our health and can
either help us maintain it or ruin it with bad choices.

1. Exercise: It is recommended that around 150 minutes of


physical activity each week, which includes both cardiovascular and
strength-building activities. To lose weight, along with diet,
but must have to incorporate some physical activity in lifestyle
as well.
2. Smoking: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle does not involve
smoking. Not only does it damage health, lungs, and organs, but
smoking is harmful for those who are around.
3. Regular doctor visits: Even we do not enjoy the doctor, having
regular visits to the dentist and doctor help to track, maintain
a healthy lifestyle.
4. Enjoy yourself: A healthy lifestyle also means that enjoy life. Do things that
make life fun, and do not let the age take out the gun in things. Always set aside
some time to enjoyment, laughs, and connect with people. Also make sure that
save some time each day for personal use.

Step 3: Have a Healthy Mind


A healthy mind is the final equation into living a healthy lifestyle that is equipped with
exercise and a healthy diet.
1. Stay mentally stimulated: learning is never ending process. There are plenty of
ways that can continue to learn in life. It is important to always challenge ourselves
and set new goals.
2. Find ways to distress: Busy lifestyles can lead to
stress. It is important to find little ways that help
our distress. If more stressed, it is likely that we can’t
sleep, eat, and exercise well, and stress will also
affect the hormone levels. To keep calm mind and body balanced on track, try: yoga,
meditation, or organization clear mind.
3. Sleep: Lack of sleep or too much sleep can worsen focus, concentration and moods.
Keep a regular sleep schedule whenever possible. Get enough sleep. When we don’t rest
well, we compensate by eating more. Usually it’s junk food. Lack of sleep causes
premature aging.

The above points are only tips for Maintaining Healthy life style. Maintaining a healthy
lifestyle does not mean sticking to a rigid diet and exercise schedule. A healthy lifestyle
simply means making the right choices so that it looks and feel good about ourselves.
