The words "Healthy Lifestyle" we understand taking a proper care of our body and also our minds which will ensure our overall well-being and longevity in life. This involves our choices of good health, preventing disease, and also improving our whole lifestyle. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle we may experience good energy and, a jolly mindset, and also reduce our chronic illness. It does not teach us only a strict diet and workout rather than this teaches us to apply positive choices that fit into our daily routine. This is a long-term investment for our bodies which will give us a healthy and blessed life.

For maintaining a healthy lifestyle we have to follow many habits some of them I discussed in below –

🔺 Nourishing the body with healthy foods :- A healthy lifestyle is like a blessing for our life. Without being healthy we can not lead our life with happiness and can not enjoy the precious moments of our life. For being healthy we should maintain a proper balanced diet. In our daily food menu must be included with fresh green vegetables and fruits. Besides this we all should drink plenty of water to keep our bodies active. Avoiding all junk and street foods we have to feed ourselves with homemade foods. We have to put limits on having sugar, salt, junk food and packed processed snacks.

1. Go to bed every night at the same time.
2. Before going to sleep have a walk a little, it may do in the bedroom.

These bad habits like – smoking, drinking, using drugs, or overeating harm our bodies and also increase various serious diseases in our bodies. For avoiding these bad habits we may follow some rules in our lives –
