Follow our tips for healthy habits that can help you live longer, feel better and enjoy life to the fullest.
1. See your doctor regularly
Many people see their doctor only when they’re sick and need to schedule an appointment in a hurry. But the best time to schedule a visit with your doctor is well before you develop any symptoms or illness. This why an annual checkup is so important.
2. Maintain a healthy weight with healthy eating
What you eat now can have a long-term impact on how long you live and how well you age. A healthy diet can help protect you against heart disease, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and other chronic diseases.
3. Get regular physical activity any way you can
Regular exercise or physical activity can lower your risk of developing chronic conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, heart disease and stroke, which can affect your life expectancy.
4. Manage stress when it gets to be too much
Everyone experiences stress in one form or another. But too much stress can contribute to serious health issues, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
5. Stay connected with family and friends
People who engage in meaningful activities with others experience better moods, have a sense of purpose and tend to live longer.
