“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

How to maintain healthy lifestyle?

• Prioritize Quality Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night for adults. Good sleep is essential for physical repair, mental clarity, mood regulation, and a strong immune system.

• Eat a Balanced Diet: Consume a variety of whole, nutrient-dense foods, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Limit your intake of highly processed foods, sugary drinks, saturated fats, and excess salt.

• Engage in Regular Physical Activity: Incorporate both aerobic exercise (like brisk walking, running, or swimming) and strength training into your weekly routine. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week.

• Manage Stress Effectively: Find healthy ways to cope with stress, such as practicing mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in relaxing hobbies. Chronic stress negatively impacts both mental and physical health.

• Stay Hydrated: Drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day. Proper hydration is vital for body function, energy levels, and cognitive performance.

• Maintain Positive Social Connections: Nurture meaningful relationships with family and friends. A strong social network provides emotional support, reduces feelings of isolation, and contributes significantly to overall well-being.

• Limit or Avoid Harmful Substances: This includes avoiding tobacco use entirely and limiting alcohol consumption. If you use alcohol, do so in moderation.

• Practice Intellectual and Emotional Wellness: Keep your mind stimulated through lifelong learning, hobbies, and engaging in activities that challenge your creativity. Also, practice self-awareness and self-care to recognize and process your emotions in a healthy manner.
