6 QUALITIES OF GOOD HEALTH

  1. Sleep 8 hours per night. To do this, have a consistent sleep-wake cycle so your body naturally knows when to get up and when to sleep.
  2. Reduce stress levels. High stress levels are correlated with heart attacks. Chill out. Breathe slowly and deeply or go for a walk. Life is no fun when you’re stressed. If certain people or situations stress you out, remove yourself from them if you can, or limit how much time you spend in them.
  3. Stay hydrated. 65% of your body is made of water, and you need to hydrate to replenish. Don’t become chronically dehydrated like so many people nowadays. When I started drinking enough water (about 3 litres a day is enough for me), my chronic headaches vanished.
  4. Stay active. For 99% of the time humans have been around, we’ve been active. We have an upright posture and long limbs because we are built for endurance; we’re not built for sedentary living. Our bodies haven’t adapted to that yet. A 30-minute brisk walk per day is enough.
  5. Strengthen your muscles. I like to lift weights. You don’t have to lift super heavy; get a bit stronger than when you started.
  6. A good diet. Eat mainly whole foods, i.e., foods like lean meats, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, nuts, grains, fish, legumes, etc.
