What Does “Good Health” Mean?

Good health is more than just the absence of illness. It includes physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Maintaining balance in daily habits can significantly improve your overall quality of life.

Nutrition

Eat a variety of whole foods—fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Limit processed foods, added sugars, and excessive salt.

Physical Activity

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week. Regular movement helps maintain a healthy weight, boosts mood, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.

Sleep and Rest

Adults typically need 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night. Establish a consistent sleep schedule, create a restful environment, and avoid screens before bedtime to support better rest.

Mental Well-being

Practice mindfulness, stay connected with loved ones, and take time for hobbies you enjoy. Managing stress through breathing exercises, journaling, or talking to a professional can greatly enhance mental health.
