Good health isn’t just about healthy eating and exercise – It also includes having a positive mental health, healthy self-image and a healthy lifestyle.
Living a healthy lifestyle is about making easy-to-manage healthy choices in your day-to-day living and not undergoing hours of training at the gym and eating only salad leaves. Making small healthy changes every day, such as taking the stairs instead of the lifts, increasing your fruit by one, drinking one extra glass of water or quitting smoking could do wonders to your health.
