 Healthy lifestyle is a way of living that builds, maintains, and promotes health and well‐being through a cluster of positive health behaviors.

 The main components of a healthy lifestyle are healthy diet, being physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking or drinking excess amounts of alcohol, controlling stress, and resting adequately.

 To maintain a healthy weight means to have a weight that does not cause illness or functional impairment and promotes a healthy self‐esteem and a positive body image.

 Avoiding tobacco use is undoubtedly beneficial for health. Quitting smoking/tobacco use can also reduce the risk of developing smoking‐related diseases.

 According to WHO, there is no specific limit for alcohol consumption; the less you drink the better it is for your health.

 Adequate sleep (i.e. 7 to 9 hours of sleep for adults) is associated with low mortality and morbidity.

 Stress‐reduction approaches, such as mindfulness‐based stress‐reduction, yoga, and behavioral stress management programs, have all been proven effective in attenuating negative thoughts and feelings of anxiety.
