 Exercise is an excellent way to stay fit and help you live longer. A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that people who regularly exercised were less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease than couch potatoes. It is recommended that adults should do 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week. If you are not already exercising then try starting off gradually and increasing the amount you exercise over time. You could start by walking for 20-30 minutes a day, three times a week and build up to 45 minutes per session. 

 2. Sleep

A lack of sleep can seriously affect both physical and mental health. In addition, poor sleeping habits can increase the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and depression. Getting enough good quality shut eye is important since insufficient sleep can reduce immunity and cause mood changes. Aim for seven hours of quality sleep per night. Make sure you get a good nights rest; if you have trouble falling asleep, use relaxation techniques and avoid caffeine after midday. 

 3. Healthy diet

 Eating a balanced diet is the best way to ensure your body gets all the vitamins and nutrients it needs. Adequate nutrition is necessary throughout life, but especially during childhood and adolescence. Good food choices include fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grain cereals, lean meat and low fat dairy products. Try to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day and cut down on sugary snacks and fried foods.
