Healthy lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle is one which helps to keep and improve people's health and well-being and can also help overcome lots of stress.Participants at the 6th Global Conference on Health Promotion. The Bangkok Charter for health promotion in a globalized world. Geneva, Switzerland: World Health Organization, 2005 Aug 11. Accessed 2009 Feb 4. Many governments and non-governmental organizations work in promoting healthy lifestyles.Kickbusch I. 2003. The contribution of the World Health Organization to a new public health,private and health promotion. Am J Public Health 93(3):383-8.  2009.  Healthy living is a lifelong effect. Being healthy includes healthy eating, physical activities, weight management, and stress management. 

A healthy lifestyle includes a balanced diet. This does not mean cutting out important food groups from your diet or limiting yourself on the amount of calories per day. A well-rounded diet involves eating most food groups in every meal. Meats, dairy, fruits, and vegetables are all important components of a meal that will ensure your body is healthy.

Doing a healthy diet brings a lifestyle that can change your life into being healthier and physically fit. According to Jim Rohn, "Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live."
