How to start and start a healthy lifestyle
Starting a healthy lifestyle can have a positive impact on your overall well-being. Here are some steps to get you started.
Set goals
Think about what you want to achieve with a healthy lifestyle. Do you want to lose weight, get fitter or improve your general health? Set realistic and specific goals that you can strive for.
Eat a balanced diet
Provide a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods. Focus on eating whole grains, vegetables, fruits, lean proteins (such as poultry, fish, tofu, or legumes), and healthy fats (such as nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil). Limit your intake of added sugars, processed foods and saturated fats.
Hydrate well
Drink enough water during the day. It is recommended to drink approximately 8 glasses of water per day, but requirements may vary depending on factors such as activity level and climate.
Regular exercise
Start regular exercise to improve your fitness and increase your energy levels. Choose activities you enjoy, such as walking, cycling, swimming, dancing or working out at the gym. Try to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, alternating with muscle-strengthening exercises.
Enough sleep
Get enough good quality sleep. Aiming for 7-9 hours of sleep per night can help improve your energy levels, concentration and overall well-being.
Stress management
Find ways to reduce stress, such as meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, or pursuing hobbies that relax you.
Limit alcohol consumption
Drink alcohol in moderation. It is recommended to limit consumption to a maximum of one drink per day for women and a maximum of two drinks per day for men.
