HOW TO LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE ???

You don’t need to eliminate the certain categories of food from your diet, but rather select the healthiest options from each of the category.

Protein It gives you the energy to get up & go and keep going, while also supporting mood and the cognitive function. Too much protein can be harmful to people with kidney disease, but the latest research suggests that many of us need high-quality protein, especially as we age. That doesn’t mean you need to eat more animal products, a variety of plant-based sources of protein each day can ensure your body gets all the essential protein it needs.
Fat Not all the fats are the same. While bad fats can wreck your diet and increase your risk of the certain diseases, good fats protect your brain and heart. In fact, healthy fats such as omega-3s are vital to your physical and emotional health. Including more healthy fat in your diet can help improve your mood, boost your well-being, and even reduce your waistline.
Fiber Eating foods high in dietary fiber can help you stay regular and lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It can also improve your skin and even help you to lose your weight.
Calcium As well as leading to osteoporosis, not getting enough calcium in your diet can also contribute to anxiety, depression, and the sleep difficulties. Whatever your age or gender, it’s a vital to include calcium-rich foods in your diet, limit those to deplete calcium, and get enough magnesium and vitamins D and K to help calcium do its job.
Carbohydrates It is one of your body’s main sources of energy. But most should come from complex, unrefined carbs (vegetables, whole grains, fruit) rather than sugars and the refined carbs. Cutting back on white bread, pastries, starches, and sugar can prevent rapid spikes in the blood sugar, fluctuations in mood and energy, and a build-up of fat, especially around your waistline.

"Healthy living" means both physical and mental health are in balance or functioning well together in a person. In many instances, physical and mental health are closely linked, so that a change in mood in one directly affects the other. Consequently, some tips will include suggestions for emotional and mental "healthy living".

All humans have to eat food for growth and maintenance of the healthy body, but we humans have different nutrition requirements as infants, children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and seniors. For example, infants may require feeding every 4 hours until they are gradually in age and begin to take in more solid foods. They develop into the more normal pattern of eating three times per day as young kids. However, as most parents know, kids, teenagers, and young adults often snack between the meals. Snacking is often not limited to these age groups because adults and seniors are often doing the same.
