World Health Day 2025: 5 Golden Rules For A Healthy Life

    • Keep Your Diet Nutritious: Give your body a range of fresh fruits, vegetables, entire grains, and lean proteins to fuel it. To promote general health and lifespan, cut back on processed foods, sugary snacks, and harmful fats.
      
    • Maintain Your Physical Activity Level: Include at least half an hour of exercise each day, such as yoga, jogging, or walking. Frequent exercise improves mental health, increases metabolism, and strengthens the heart.
      
    • Prioritise Restful Sleep: To improve cognitive performance, boost immunity, and preserve emotional equilibrium, aim for 7 to 9 hours of good sleep every night. Having a regular sleep routine boosts vitality and general health. 
      
    • Handle Stress and Mental Health: To lower stress and promote emotional resilience, engage in mindfulness exercises, meditation, or enjoyable hobbies. Happiness and relaxation are promoted by spending time in nature or with loved ones.
      
    • Keep Yourself Hydrated and Steer Clear of Bad Habits: To stay hydrated and help your body rid itself of toxins, make sure you drink enough water each day. Steer clear of bad habits like smoking and binge drinking that might impair your health in the long run.
