A healthy lifestyle is a combination of good diet, exercise, sleep, and mental well-being.
A healthy lifestyle is essential for a healthy, happy and disease-free life. It can significantly reduce the risk of a variety of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, sleep disorders, mood disorders, and many more.
In one of her recent Instagram videos, nutritionist Lovneet Batra quotes Jean-Pierre as saying, “Eat healthy, sleep well, breathe deeply, move harmoniously.” She further explains how these 4 factors are essential to following a healthy lifestyle.
She writes: “Nutrition, sleep, regular exercise, and meditation are four pillars of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Keeping them balanced helps us achieve good health and well-being.”
Here are 4 factors for a healthy lifestyle to consider according to the nutritionist:
1. Eat healthy
Healthy eating is important for many reasons, including fueling your body, getting the nutrients you need, reducing your risk of disease, increasing your longevity, and promoting optimal mental and physical well-being. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. It is only meant to nourish your body while also tickling your taste buds.
2. Sleep
Getting a good night’s sleep is incredibly important to your health. In fact, it’s just as important as eating a balanced, nutritious diet and exercising. Healthy sleep is important for cognitive functioning, maintenance of physical strength, and good mental health. It is recommended to sleep between 7 and 9 hours per night for optimal health.
3. Practice deep breathing
While mindful breathing can be a simple process, it comes with numerous benefits. Whether you’re trying to reduce your depression and anxiety or boost your immunity; You’d be surprised what you can accomplish simply by paying attention to your breathing. Regulate your breathing with 10 minutes of meditation a day.
4. Exercise
Exercise is not only good for our physical health, it also reduces anxiety and stress. Also, physical activity is a tool to combat depression, along with other common health problems. Exercise increases our “feel good hormones” and endorphins. At the same time, it reduces the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. Try to go for a walk for at least half an hour every day.
