A healthy and long life is the biggest desire of everyone. It is possible to live a healthy, happy, and long life by making small changes in daily life. But this requires a lot of effort.
1-Eat A Healthy Balanced Diet
- It is necessary to eat the main meals every day. And a healthy breakfast refuels your body, jump-starts your day, and may even benefit your overall health. The studies state that adults who regularly eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to control their weight, blood sugar levels, and perform better at work. And children who regularly eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to be able to concentrate and get higher grades at school. So don't skip this important meal.
What exactly counts as a healthy breakfast? Here's the core of a healthy breakfast:
- Lean protein. Examples include eggs, lean meat, legumes, and nuts.
- Fruits and vegetables. Examples include fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, 100 percent juice drinks without added sugar, and fruit and vegetable smoothies.
- Low-fat dairy. Examples include milk, plain or lower sugar yogurts, and low-fat cheeses, such as cottage cheese and natural cheeses.
Also, you have to drink plenty of water, prefer foods that are low in fat, and proportional to carbohydrates and protein. When having a balanced diet, the first thing to consider is to consume seasonal vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables grown in the season are healthier and do not require a specific environment or support.
2-Get on a Sleep Schedule
Follow a regular sleep schedule to live a happier, healthier life. Just a few adjustments to your daily routine can help you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
Pick a bedtime and a wake-up time and stick to them as much as possible.
Opening the curtains to let natural light in your bedroom or having a cup of coffee on your sun-drenched porch will cue your brain to start the day.
Likewise, too much light in the evenings can signal that you should stay awake. Before bedtime, avoid as many lights as possible in your room.
As a consequence, a night of good sleep will provide you a better day.
3-Do Sports
Sport and physical activities help to keep you physically fit during the day and ensures your body's balance. Also beneficial for your muscles' health. Besides the team sports such as basketball, football, volleyball, you can go jogging, do yoga, fitness, plates. They are both peaceful and good for your body.
4- Keep Your Brain Active
Puzzles, mind games such as Scrabble, chess, and Sudoku, or card games keep the brain active. But don't go hard on your brain when you get tired. A 20-page book that you will read every day and the spices you use in your meals (especially turmeric, saffron, cinnamon) are good for your brain. Try to get new tastes in every area every day.
5- Be Hygienic
The human body can provide places for disease-causing germs and parasites to grow and multiply. These places include the skin and in and around the openings to the body. It is less likely that germs and parasites will get inside the body if people have good personal hygiene habits. Good personal hygiene habits include washing the body often. If possible, everybody should have a shower or a bath every day.
And brushing the teeth is necessary for a human being. You have to brush your teeth at least once a day. It is very important to clean teeth after breakfast and immediately before going to bed.
Changing into clean clothes is also crucial. Dirty clothes should be cleaned with laundry soap before wearing them again.
At the same time, we must pay attention to etiquette. We all have to close our mouths when we sneeze to avoid spreading germs. And we should wash our hands after eating.
