Ways to live a happy and healthy life

Health is the core part of human lives. As the world is getting different shapes, we are getting more indolent. People are willing to take illogical advice, which doesn't make any sense. Instead of avoiding all these tips and tricks especially when it is about health. These are the most essential basics: seemingly obvious principles to abide by whether you're trying to run a marathon or simply live a long and prosperous life.

Exercise

You don't need to put in intense effort, all you have to move your body at any rate. Whether that's a fast-paced walk, a hike, or an hour of walk in the garden. Decades of studies show that 30 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity lowers your risk for heart disease, Alzheimer’s, depression, cardiovascular or many fatal diseases are included.

Enjoy Present moment 

Involvement in activities you find meaningful and groups you care about increases both the quality and quantity of life. Studies show that individuals who have a strong sense of purpose — in other words, a reason to get up every day — tend to outlive those who don’t. Other research points to robust social interaction as critical for both mental and physical health.

Stop Overeating 

Keeping calorie intake in balance with calories burned is critical. Obesity is one of the greatest health threats in the world. A recent study in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine found that obesity has doubled in more than 70 countries since 1980 and accounts for more than 4 million deaths every year. Another study found that obesity is now the second leading cause of early death, behind only tobacco.

Avoid Drinking 

Excessive alcohol use is associated with several chronic diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, throat cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Drinking too much also impairs sleep and daily function. The good news is that if you enjoy alcohol, drinking reasonably — one drink per day for women and up to two for men — carries minimal risk.

Quit Smoking

At this point, it’s common knowledge but bears repeating: There is absolutely nothing more damaging to health, wellness, and fitness than smoking. It is associated with dozens of types of cancer, as well as heart disease, dementia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. According to the American Cancer Association, smoking causes one out of every five deaths in the United States, killing more people than alcohol, car accidents, HIV, guns, and illegal drugs combined. If you do smoke, there is some good news: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, your body starts repairing the damage caused by smoking within days of stopping.
