Optimize your quality of sleep

Sleep is the time when our body and brain recover and regenerate, and a good night's sleep improves our mental well-being, increases fertility, increases immunity and helps us maintain a healthy weight. Regular poor sleep can increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression and some cancers.

Dr Mauji advised:

“On average, we need six to nine hours a night to sleep, so start by determining what's best for you by monitoring your sleep patterns and how you feel.”

Limit your intake of alcohol

Drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week – that's six pints of medium-strength beer or 10 small glasses of still wine – can harm our health.

Dr Mauji explained:

“New evidence shows that alcohol does not protect the heart as much as thought, and drinking more than 14 units a week is linked to cancer, stroke, heart disease, liver disease and brain disease. In fact, there is no longer a 'safe' level of alcohol consumption, and it can even affect your physical and mental health.”

Eat Well

For According to Dr. Mauji, the key to a healthy diet is to eat a wide variety of foods to make sure you're getting a balanced diet and getting all the nutrients your body needs.
