Healthy Life

Introduction

You've probably heard that you're supposed to eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep and exercise regularly. You may even know that stress can be harmful to your health, but what about drinking plenty of water? What about getting enough sleep? Don't we all want to be healthy? Yes! But how do we achieve this goal? Is there one simple thing that will make all the difference in your life? Probably not, but there are some things you can do today (or tonight) to start making changes for the better.

Eat a healthy diet.

Eating a healthy diet is the first step to good health. A proper diet can help you lose weight, prevent heart disease and diabetes, lower your risk of cancer, improve your mood and memory function, boost energy levels and protect against premature aging.

A good diet should include:

• Fresh fruits and vegetables--at least five servings per day (one serving equals 1 cup of fresh or frozen fruit or vegetable)

• Whole grains over refined grains (whole wheat bread instead of white bread)

• Lean meats such as chicken breast or turkey breast instead of fatty cuts like pork chops or ribs

Drink plenty of water.

Drinking plenty of water is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It's also one of the easiest--and most fun! Water helps you stay hydrated, which keeps you feeling full and awake. It also helps prevent dehydration, which causes headaches, fatigue and an increased risk for heart disease. Drinking plenty of water will help keep your skin looking younger as well as helping prevent certain cancers like breast cancer or prostate cancer by reducing inflammation in the body (which leads to more cell growth).

Get enough sleep.

Sleep is important for your health, and sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes. To maintain a healthy weight:

• Get 7-9 hours of sleep per night (this is the recommended amount).

• Avoid late-night television viewing or other activities that keep you awake after midnight on weeknights. During weekends when you're not busy with work or schoolwork, try to go to bed by 11pm if possible; however, remember that children need more sleep than adults do so don't push them too hard! Try your best not to wake up early in order to get an extra hour or two of sleep each day so that you are able to function properly throughout the rest of your day as well as perform better at work if necessary!

Exercise regularly.

Exercise can help you lose weight, sleep better, lower your blood pressure and live longer. The American Heart Association recommends that adults get 150 minutes of moderate activity (like brisk walking) or 75 minutes of vigorous activity (like jogging) per week in addition to muscle-strengthening activities like lifting weights or using an elliptical machine at least three times a week.

In addition to these benefits, regular exercise has been shown to reduce depression symptoms in people who have been diagnosed with depression; improve cognitive function; decrease risk factors for heart disease including high cholesterol levels; lower stress levels; increase feelings of well-being; encourage healthy eating habits; improve self-esteem among children and adolescents who participate in organized sports programs--and much more!

Keep stress under control.

Stress is a normal part of life. It's not just something that happens to you--it's something you can control. The key is to learn to manage your stress in a healthy way so that it doesn't interfere with your life or your health.

Stress can be good or bad depending on how you use it--there's no single "right" way to deal with stress! If you feel overwhelmed by all the things going on in your life, try these strategies:

• Take some time for yourself every day; do activities that make you happy (like watching an episode of Friends), read a book, or take a walk around the block

• Practice breathing exercises like deep breathing and visualization techniques like meditation
