Continue reading this blog to learn more about how to sleep, consistent physical activity, staying happy and a healthy diet can help you live a healthier lifestyle.
MAINTAIN CONSISTENT SLEEP PATTERNS
The first of these habits is developing a healthy, consistent sleep pattern. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), It is recommended that adults get an average of 7 hours of sleep each day. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule as irregular sleep patterns allow your body to become more susceptible to obesity, hypertension, and elevated blood sugar. Efficient sleep will promote good memory function, attention, and cognitive flexibility.
LOWER ALCOHOL INTAKE
You can also be conscientious of your alcohol intake. Alcohol in moderation is okay, however, too much is never good. High alcohol consumption will negatively affect key organs of your body such as your liver, heart, pancreas, and brain. It will also make you age faster because it depletes your body of essential vitamins and rapidly decreases your collagen levels.
STAY ACTIVE EVERY DAY
Staying active is another way you can stay healthy. You incorporate this into your daily life by going on walks, doing yoga, or playing a sport. When you have someone to stay active with it becomes easy, mindless. Your body only needs a minimum of 15 minutes of exercise each day. Not being active and having a sedentary lifestyle will increase the risk of diseases such as cardiovascular, cancer, osteoporosis, and more.
INCREASE YOUR INTAKE OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Eating lots of fruits and vegetables will also allow you to stay very healthy and even promote longevity of life. Fruits and vegetables are very rich in vitamins and minerals and fiber. It is also known to even lower your blood pressure and lower the risk of having digestive problems.
