As good as modern medical technology is, it can never save you from the problems caused by a lifestyle
that is unhealthy. Instead of getting a modern medical fix for every problem, it is far better to live in such a
way that you will hardly ever fall ill.
An ounce of prevention is certainly better than a pound of cure. Here are seven tips on how to live a long
and healthy life. In addition, the same lifestyle that helps you to avoid illness also helps you to lose
weight.
1. Get Enough Exercise
In the past, people had to use their physical bodies in the course of their normal work. But today someone
may get up, go to work in a car, then sit down, get up to go home in the car and when arriving at home, sit
down again for the rest of the day. In such a life there is no physical labor. This physical inactivity is one of
the main reasons for a host of diseases. Sport, running. walking and other things must be added to our
life if our normal work does not require us to exert ourselves physically.
2. Go to sleep when you feel sleepy
This may sound simple, but many people stay up late even when their body is telling them that it is time to
sleep. Yoga and Ayurvedic doctors also say that it is better to sleep at night and be active during the day.
However, people such as students will take coffee and stimulants to study late into the night. Others
develop the habit of remaining active at night and sleeping during the day. While we can do this, it
eventually takes a toll on health. Alternative health doctors say that this kind of unnatural living is one of
the contributing factors in the causation of cancer and other diseases
3. Eat when you feel hungry
