Staying Healthy

Maintaining good health requires developing healthy habits like eating nutritious foods, staying active, getting enough sleep, and managing stress.

Healthy diets that promote longevity focus on whole, minimally processed foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, fish, and healthy fats.

Physical activity can involve enjoyable pastimes like walking, cycling, gardening, or playing sports, helping to reduce health risks, strengthen muscles, improve mood, and maintain independence.

Prioritizing quality sleep and managing stress are just as important, along with regular checkups and preventive care. Over time, these efforts lead to increased energy, better mobility, reduced pain, and enhanced physical and mental health.
