We warn you: in this article you will not find magic formulas and miracle products that protect against all diseases (if only because they do not exist). We talk about simple things that really help to maintain health.

1. Maintain a slim figure

It's trite, but it's true: there's no better recipe than “move more and stop overeating.” An obese person has virtually no chance of staying healthy for a long time, and there simply is no such thing as “good” or “bad” metabolism. But there is a metabolic disorder caused by a sedentary lifestyle and an unbalanced diet.

If you can't lose weight, visit an endocrinologist: sometimes excess weight provokes malfunctions in the hormonal system. This is treatable.

2. Exercise

A sedentary lifestyle is the main enemy of health. Experts recommend devoting 150 minutes a week to moderate physical activity: this is just two and a half hours out of 168. Moreover, the more intense your workout, the less time you will need.

However, going to the gym 3 times a week will not save you if you spend all the remaining time sitting and lying down. Try to move more during the day. If that doesn't work, get a dog: communication with a four-legged friend, daily walks and new acquaintances with like-minded dog owners will greatly help your health. Including emotional health. Just carefully weigh all the pros and cons so as not to ruin the lives of both yourself and the animal.

3. Eat a balanced diet

Add lean meat, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, vegetables, fruits and nuts to your diet. Limit your intake of salt, sugar, and processed red meat. And try to drink as little juice, soda, and other similar beverages as possible – there’s nothing better than pure water.
