1. Eat a healthy diet
Depending on WHO recommendations to have a healthy lifestyle means:
Cutting down on foods high in salt, free sugars, saturated fats and trans-fatty acids may sound overwhelming at first, but easy steps add up − such as swapping a lunchtime soda for water.
Eat at least five portions of a variety of fruits and vegetables every day.
Think about a balanced and diversified diet, and keep fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts in mind as you plan your daily meals.
2. Be active
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week if you are an adult. For additional health benefits, adults should increase their moderate-intensity physical activity to 300 minutes per week or the equivalent.
There can be many environmental or mental barriers to physical activity, but always remember physical activity has significant health benefits for hearts, bodies and minds.
4-Connect in person to support your mental health
Loneliness is a serious health risk. A large body of research shows that social isolation and loneliness have a serious impact on physical and mental health, quality of life and longevity. Face-to-face or digital contact with friends or family can help you form meaningful social connections.
It’s also important to be kind to yourself and practice good mental health habits, to help manage any mental health conditions or stressful situations in your daily life.
