How to improve your health
by admin | Feb 13, 2026 | Body |
- Move your body daily
Even 20–30 minutes of brisk walking, cycling, or similar most days improves heart health, mood, energy, and sleep, and lowers risk of diabetes and many cancers.
- Eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods
Base meals on vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans, nuts, and lean protein; this supports a healthy weight, stable energy, and reduces inflammation and disease risk.
- Prioritise sleep (7–9 hours)
A consistent sleep window, dark cool bedroom, and no screens close to bedtime improve recovery, hormones, immune function, cognition, and appetite control.
- Build strength and mobility
Two to three sessions a week of strength work (bodyweight or weights) plus stretching maintains muscle, protects joints and bones, improves posture, and keeps you independent as you age.
- Limit toxins and excess
Not smoking, keeping alcohol low or zero, staying hydrated, and managing stress (breathing, time in nature, relaxation) protect your heart, liver, brain, and long‑term health.
