lifestyle can take you nowhere. The only way you can make your body happy is by moving it. Exercise is known to
strengthen your body, act as a stress buster and moreover it is the natural way of maintaining your body and
allowing it to perform its regular functions properly.

bodily processes. Simple activities such as taking regular breaks from sedentary lifestyle, walking,
stretching, cycling, swimming, dancing, jogging, rowing, elliptical workouts etc., act as great ways to burn
calories.
Healthy diet - what to include
Healthy diet and healthy living go hand in hand. Having a balanced diet is very crucial for living healthy. It
is very much important to keep yourself away from unhealthy junk food, which has high amounts of unsaturated
fats, cholesterol and sugar.
Healthy diet should include a variety of food items such as fruits, vegetables, meat, drinks and much more, which can meet the basic requirements of nutrients, minerals, fats, proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, sugar, and so on. Some of the food items which are needed to be included in daily diet are cereals, green salads, fruits, dairy products etc.
Get enough sleep
Body needs rest, without which it becomes completely exhausted. In that case, however much good diet or
positive way of living you adopt, everything goes in vain. A body needs to rejuvenate its cells regularly in
course of working to resume its functions with regained energy. Nothing can replace the role of sleep in terms
of providing relaxation to the body. Hence enough sleep is a must to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Balance between work and play
Healthy living demands a stress free life. To lead a stress free life, one needs to create a perfect balance
between work and play. Monotonous lifestyle is always boring and more importantly discouraging. Taking break
from work and indulging yourself in your most liked hobby or activity will surely shoot up your energy levels.
This will also enhance your creative side.
Stay in a good company of friends and family members
A healthy lifestyle is a combination of physical and mental well-being. A wholesome life is obtained by having
good health, good work environment and healthy relationships. Being in a good company of friends and family
members motivates and inspires a person.
Stay away from substance abuse
Ditching bad habits is as important as embracing new habits to lead a healthy lifestyle. Substance abuse is one
of the major obstacles for healthy lifestyle. This has become more rampant these days. Addiction to harmful
drugs or alcohol will make an individual forego his beautiful future. Hence, if you aspire to have healthy
future, it is suggested to stay away from drug abuse.
All the above mentioned points help us in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Living a healthy lifestyle in itself is never hard, but it is the mindset that makes it appear so. When few simple changes can add wonderful meaning to your lifestyle, then why not embrace them.
