What is healthy living?

Healthy tips involves more than physical health, it also includes mental and
emotional health.

This article is designed to give tips to readers about how they can improve or
augment actions in their life to have a healthy lifestyle; it is not meant to be all
inclusive but will include major components that are considered to be parts of
a lifestyle that lead to good health. In addition to the tips about what people
should do for healthy living, the article will mention some of the tips about
avoiding actions (the don'ts) that lead to unhealthy living.

"Healthy living" to most people means both physical and health tips are in
balance or functioning well together in a person. In many instances, physical
and mental health are closely linked, so that a change (good or bad) in one
directly affects the other. Consequently, some of the tips will include
suggestions for emotional and mental "healthy living."

Quit Smoking
 • Set a date for quitting. If possible, plan to have a friend quit smoking with you. It's best to pick
a day within the next month. A date too far off in the future will give you a chance to
procrastinate and postpone, while a date too soon may not allow you to make a plan for
medications or support systems.
• Notice when and why you smoke. Try to find the things in your daily life that you often do
while smoking (such as drinking your morning cup of coffee or driving a car).
• Change your smoking routines: Keep your cigarettes in a different place. Smoke with your
other hand. Don't do anything else when you are smoking. Think about how you feel when
you smoke.

Healthy eating (diet and nutrition)

All humans have to eat food for growth and maintenance of a healthy body,
but we humans have different nutrition requirements as infants, children
(kids), teenagers, young adults, adults, and seniors. For example, infants may
require feeding every 4 hours until they gradually age and begin to take in
more solid foods. Eventually they develop into the more normal pattern of
eating three times per day as young kids. However, as most parents know,
kids, teenagers, and young adults often snack between meals. Snacking is
often not limited to these age groups because adults and seniors often do the
same.
