I think that every person strives to form a healthy lifestyle, but not everyone achieves this goal. The whole point, most likely, is that people simply don’t know where to start maintaining a healthy lifestyle, or they just can’t force themselves to change something in their lives. Today we will tell you the main rules for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, as well as the reasons why you should change your lifestyle for the better.

The word healthy lifestyle is most often understood as leading a full and healthy life, both physical and psychological, good mood, a feeling of joy and pleasure from every moment of life, as well as proper nutrition, exercise, and giving up bad habits. It can also be imagined as leading a natural way of life for a person, which is laid down by nature.

Before moving on to the main rules of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, let's list the reasons why you need to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Top reasons to lead a healthy lifestyle.

1. Strengthen your health and boost your immunity.

2. Get rid of stress and depression.

3. Live to a ripe old age with physical and psychological health.

5. Set the right example for children and those around them.

6. Proper development and health of your children.

7. Wake up every morning full of strength and energy.

8. Enjoy every new day, and always be in a good mood.

Remember that the most important thing in your body is your immunity. In order for your immune system to function well, it is imperative to lead a healthy lifestyle. Immunity protects you from all bacteria and viruses, and also supports the proper functioning of all body cells, which ultimately is an indicator of overall health, both physical and mental.

Now let's move on to the healthy lifestyle rules that must be followed.

The main rules for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

The human body is so arranged that it simply cannot always be in one place and in one position. For example, sitting in front of a computer all day at work is actually putting your body under a lot of stress.

Be sure to exercise for at least 30 minutes every morning! In addition to the general warm-up, the exercises should include several physical exercises, such as push-ups from the floor, squats, exercises for the development of the press (twisting while lying down or lifting legs while hanging on the horizontal bar). It is advisable to visit the gym, which will allow you to fully and competently work out each muscle group.

Charging should be done every day, and go to the gym at least 2 times a week.

Alcohol and tobacco destroy our body, it's like a time bomb. The body cannot get used to these substances, as many often say. It's like fire and water - the opposite. Even in small doses, these substances have a detrimental effect on the body, which will manifest itself, if not now, then in the next generations, gradually destroying human DNA (DNA is like a plan for building your body, the schemes by which the proteins and cells of the body are built), which ultimately leads to mutations (destruction of internal organs and the principles of synthesis of protein structures).

3. Eat right.

Your food is the building blocks of your body. Imagine you are building a brick house. There are two types of bricks - those that are cracked, and besides, they are still crooked. And good, high quality and smooth. What kind of bricks would you build a house with? I think the answer of each person is obvious. It's the same with your body. Why buy food that is harmful to the body?

There are likely two answers:

First, sometimes you really want to eat something tasty, and tasty things that people buy most often (chocolates and various sweets, buns and pastries, pizza, chips, crackers, etc.) are most often not healthy ... However, here there are wonderful ones for you that you can make at home from natural products. By the way, protein is protein, what your body is made of. The proportions of BJU (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) in recipes are optimal for a healthy diet.

Second, people simply do not want to spend time preparing healthy food, and they buy ready-made or frozen fast food products that include harmful additives so that the food lasts longer, has a pleasant smell, or simply to reduce the cost of production. That is, the problem in the second case is just laziness to cook something.

To succeed, you must overcome these two points - do not be lazy to cook healthy and wholesome food, as well as refrain from sweets and other harmful high-calorie foods that are sold in the store. You can make excellent ones at home, but here again you need not be lazy. As you can see, you need to follow both points for a healthy diet.

Now let's move on to the main points of nutrition:

The proportions of BJU in the diet should be as follows: proteins 20-30%, fats 10-20%, carbohydrates 50-60%.

Try to eat as often as possible and in small portions, for example, split breakfast, lunch and dinner into 2 meals, as a result, you will have 6 meals per day. This speeds up the metabolism, improves bowel function and contributes to the complete absorption of products.

Eat enough fruits and vegetables to make sure your body gets enough vitamins.

The main source of carbohydrates for you should be various cereals: rice, buckwheat, oatmeal, oatmeal, etc.

Try to diversify the menu with different products.

Limit the consumption of salt, sugar, as well as other harmful ancillary products - ketchup, mayonnaise, various sauces, because. most often they contain harmful additives.

Drink plenty of water, at least 2.5 liters per day is recommended.

In a dream, the body renews the supply of strength and energy, and also renews and restores the cells of the body more intensively. Sound and healthy sleep strengthens the immune system and promotes longevity. Sleep at least 8 hours. If possible, add 40-50 minutes of daytime sleep or just lie down for 20 minutes, this restores the nervous system very well.

Stress puts a heavy strain on your nervous system, with which the brain controls almost all processes in the body. An exhausted central nervous system leads to a weakening of the immune system and the body's defenses. Therefore, always stay positive and smile more often!

Hardening helps the body to better cope with colds, because. trains the body's defenses. Hardening does not mean immersion in an ice hole.)) You can harden yourself simply by wiping yourself with a slightly damp towel after a shower. Start at a temperature that is comfortable for your body. You don't have to take a cold shower, just cold water is enough.

I think everyone has been taught this since childhood. Maintaining personal hygiene will protect you from various bacteria and germs that accumulate on the skin, hands, hair, under the nails and in the mouth.

At least once every couple of months go to the sauna or bath. It has been proven that this strengthens the immune system and helps to eliminate various toxins and toxins from the body.

Lead a healthy lifestyle. Good luck to you and good luck!
