C CONCLUSION

A INTRODUCTION

Good nutrition, daily exercise, and adequate sleep are the foundations of healthy living A healthy lifestyle keeps you fit, energetic, and at reduced risk for disease According to WHO, healthy living is a way of living that helps you enjoy more aspects of your life It is a way of living that lowers the risk of being seriously ill or dying early Health is not just about avoiding a disease or illness It is about physical, mental, and social well-being too

When you adopt a healthy lifestyle, you provide a more positive role model for other people in your family, particularly children You will also create a better environment for them to grow up in By helping them follow a healthier lifestyle, you will contribute to their well-being and enjoyment of life now and in the future

B BODY

I WHAT IS A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not simply just the absence of disease Ask 50 people to define what a “healthy lifestyle” is, and you’ll likely get 50 different answers That’s because there’s

no one way to be healthy A healthy lifestyle simply means doing things that make you happy and feel good

For one person, that may mean walking a mile five times a week, eating fast food once a week, and spending virtual or in-person time with loved ones every other day For someone else, a healthy lifestyle may be training and running two marathons a year, following a keto diet, and never having a sip of alcohol

Neither of these is better than the other Both are perfect for that person You get to decide what your healthy lifestyle looks like

II BENEFITS OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

1 Physical impact:

Prevent diseases

A healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of various diseases, including those that may run in our family For instance, in a recent study, adults following a standard American diet (rich in fruits and vegetables) for 8 weeks had a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases

In another 2020 study, researchers found that every 66-gram increase in daily fruit and vegetable intake was associated with a 25 percent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes In addition, swapping out some refined grains for whole grains also reduces the risk of disease

In an observational research of almost 200,000 adults eating the most whole grains had a 29 percent lower rate of type 2 diabetes than those who ate the least Besides, a review of 45

studies concluded that eating 90 grams (or three 30-gram servings) of whole grains daily reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease by 22 percent, coronary heart disease by 19 percent, and cancer by 15 percent

In terms of exercise, as little as 11 minutes a day may add years to our life In a 2020 study, researchers tracked more than 44 000 adults Those getting 11 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily had a lower risk of death compared to those who only exercised at that intensity for 2 minutes This comparison held true even if people sat for 8.5 hours every day

Save money

It’s always smart to see your primary care physician for an annual physical exam Going

to the hospital regularly helps people check health problems early and save a considerable amount of money spent on medicine

It’s true that the healthier you are, the less likely you will have to see a doctor This could save money by reducing co-pays, the need for prescriptions, and other treatments

Lengthen lifespan

Basic healthy habits are connected with living a longer life By following a healthy diet and eating regimen, you will boost your overall health This will increase your lifespan as your immune system will be better improved You'll be less likely to get sick and have more energy to do the things you love A healthy lifestyle will give you a better quality of life Exercise can reduce stress and anxiety in your life and help you pay more attention to your health and body

2 Mental impact

will improve and you will feel happier and more excited in life Healthy eating, exercise, meditation, and yoga are things you should do every day to lead a healthy lifestyle This is the key to feeling happier

You will be more confident As you begin to feel better in your health and happiness,

you will also become more confident every time you look at yourself in the mirror Maintaining a healthy body can increase self-esteem and confidence You won't have to worry about being sick all day, catching colds, or stressing at work and when you're out with friends

You will become a role model As you begin to feel great about yourself and your body,

you will also share the secret with others around you Your friends and family will begin to

seek advice and ask you about how to lead a healthy lifestyle Your advice is the most practical way to help your loved ones become healthier

You will look younger You will be energetic thanks to proper nutrition, exercise, and

sleep Cutting back on junk food can also have a positive effect on your skin and hair A healthy lifestyle will help your skin to age more slowly, your hair to fade more slowly Therefore, you will look younger than others of the same age without a healthy lifestyle

3 A healthy lifestyle also contributes to building a green living environment.

Health benefits: On a micro level, by reducing environmentally unfriendly eating habits

such as consuming a lot of red meat (which takes a lot of resources to produce), eating canned foods (increasing plastic/metal waste, etc), we have also started the eat clean diet Eating fresh foods, limiting red meat and canned and refined foods, etc has been shown to have positive effects on health, especially in preventing cancer and cardiovascular diseases At a macro level, green living will gradually improve the quality of life by reducing air pollution, maintaining forest resources and ecological balance, and improving soil quality, thereby reducing toxins in trees grown for human consumption

Economic benefits: We can save more and relieve the pressure of living costs by living

green From electricity and water bills to household appliances, following the 3Rs rule will help reduce costs and reduce the amount of waste in the environment for each person

III HOW TO BUILD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

1 Recommended things:

A healthy lifestyle can make you better Do you want to become a person with a healthy lifestyle? Here I will give you some recommendations for beginning to improve your overall health

Have a healthy diet: To ensure a healthy lifestyle, WHO recommends eating lots of fruits

and vegetables, and reducing fat, sugar, and salt intake

+ Eat a nutritious diet based on a variety of foods originating mainly from plants, rather than animals Eat a variety of vegetables and fruits, preferably fresh and local, several times per day (at least 400g per day)

+ Control fat intake (not more than 30% of daily energy) and replace most saturated fats with unsaturated fats Replace fatty meat and meat products with beans, legumes, lentils, fish, poultry, or lean meat Use milk and dairy products (kefir, sour milk, yogurt, and cheese) that are low in both fat and salt

+ Select foods that are low in sugar, and eat free sugars sparingly, limiting the frequency

of sugary drinks and sweets

+ Choose a low-salt diet Total salt intake should not be more than one teaspoon (5g) per day, including the salt in bread and processed cured and preserved foods (Salt iodization should be universal where iodine deficiency is a problem) WHO does not set particular limits for alcohol consumption because the evidence shows that the ideal solution for health is not to drink at all, therefore less is better

Be more active: If the words “exercise” or “workout” put you off, think of this step in

terms of physical activity or simply moving your body You could walk, go for a bike ride, take dancing lessons, practice martial arts, or try a workout class online The most important thing is to choose an activity you enjoy Choosing an activity you have an interest in will increase the chances that you’ll stick with it Secondly, remember that you don’t have to start with a long workout Aim for 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week When you feel ready, add another 5 or 10 minutes Keep doing this until you reach at least 30 minutes a day most days

of the week

Maintain friendships: Strong relationships and staying in communication with friends

and loved ones can support mental health For one, the risk of depression is greater in people with low-quality relationships Those with the poorest quality social relationships have more than double the risk of depression compared to people with the highest quality Even if you cannot get together with friends or family in person, schedule a time to catch up over a phone

or video call once a week Or, simply start chatting with a neighbor when you see them

Control stress:

+ Chronic stress puts your body into fight-or-flight mode all the time Exercise can help reduce stress by releasing pent-up energy Physical activity can also boost the release of mood-lifting hormones called endorphins

+ For others, mindfulness practices- like meditation, deep breathing, journaling, or spending time in nature- can help to lower stress Talking to friends can also help If you would like more support to relieve stress, consider therapy Working with a trained psychologist, psychiatrist, or therapist can help you work through challenges life throws your way, and it can help you learn new skills to manage stress

2 Healthy lifestyle mistakes

A healthy lifestyle has become popular in recent years but not everyone understands and applies it properly in life Here are a few common mistakes when adopting a healthy lifestyle:

Eat salmon as red as possible

Wild varieties such as sockeye, coho, and chum are brightly colored, while the flesh of the more expensive and omega-3-rich varieties is relatively pale Also, the white streaks you see on the salmon meat are really good because no dyes are added to the fish

Color is not an indicator of fish freshness Most of the salmon in the supermarket is either caught from the lake or has been frozen at the time of catch so it remains fresh

The body needs to be cleaned regularly

You should not arbitrarily purify the body, except in cases with specific advice and instructions from a doctor Applying special diets, fasting, and drinking unscientific juices can lead to negative health problems such as bloating, vomiting, stomach disorders, and liver failure

All fruits should be peeled

According to nutritionists, most fruits, including vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, etc., do not need to be peeled when eating Their peel contains a very large amount of fiber, if peeled, it will lose useful fiber and many nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, vitamins (C, K, PP, carotene, B vitamins), and antioxidants oxidize

You need to wash fruits thoroughly before eating, especially fruits that are at risk of pesticide contamination

You should wake up early on weekends

Research by the University of Chicago (USA) has proven that sleeping in on the weekends improves insulin sensitivity After many sleepless nights, insulin sensitivity can drop, so getting a few extra hours of sleep on the weekend also reduces the risk of diabetes Scientists from Sweden came to a similar conclusion that sleeping on weekends can reduce the risk of early death by 15% compared to people who don't get enough sleep And this once again proves that lack of sleep affects a lot of your health

Safer to drink water directly from the bottle

According to scientists from Canada, all plastic bottles can harbor large numbers of bacteria, especially disposable bottles because it is difficult to clean them The material that makes these plastic bottles can deform quickly and is prone to many small cracks, which are

an environment for bacteria to grow

It's good to warm up before a workout

According to research by scientists from Canada and the US, although warm-up makes your muscles more flexible, it also increases the risk of injury, reduces resistance, and even has a negative effect to exercise results

Always think positively about everything

Psychologists believe that positive thinking mantras such as "I can do it all" also have certain negative aspects This concept makes you narrow your perception of reality, not taking into account the consequences and risks, thereby leading to neurosis, anxiety, or depression when you fail

Drinking a variety of juices will be healthy

Research from Australian and British scientists has proven that drinking large amounts of juice can be as harmful as drinking detox juices, equivalent to drinking soda High sugar intake (including canned and fresh fruit juices) increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease

C CONCLUSION

As we all know, having health seems to have everything If health is weak, the body is not healthy, people will not fulfill their dreams, pursue their passions, and can not enjoy life and create value for themselves With only good health, we can enjoy this life The importance of health matters is that, but not everyone has the awareness to protect health Anyone born in the world wants to be healthy If we are sick, we will have no idea about anything It makes people spend a lot of money, wealth, and time and affects their loved ones

in the family and society Therefore, health is the key to opening the door to happiness for everyone

Let's live healthy to make your life more beautiful and happy!
