A very good afternoon to all of you.

It really gives me great pleasure to deliver

you a speech today on maintaining healthy lifestyle. Put on your thinking cap; try
asking yourself, have you been on healthy diets? Have you gotten sufficient rest
each day? Or even, have you been performing healthy lifestyle by doing sports
regularly? our ans!er lies !ith yourself. A healthy lifestyle boosts your energy,
improves your mental outlook and enhances your "uality of life. #egardless of your
current health, you can begin making positive lifestyle changes today. $aintaining a
healthy lifestyle does not mean an overnight transformation. %radually integrate
healthy lifestyle choices into your normal daily routine. &hese small changes !ill add
up to big results ' a long, healthy life.
&o maintain a healthy lifestyle, start !ith a healthy diet. Avoid eating
processed and refined foods. (onsume foods in their natural state, !henever
possible. Avoid bad fats found in !hole dairy products, partially hydrogenated
cooking oils and fatty meats. %et carbohydrates and fibre from !hole grains. Include
healthy sources of protein such as lean meat, fish, nuts and legumes. )rink plenty of
!ater and eliminate high'fructose carbonated beverages and *uices. ou should also
Avoid eating too much s!eet or salty food. +ormally, these s!eet or salty food are
not healthy food because of the e,cessive salt and sugar content in the food product.
+evertheless, after a prolonged period of time having such bad eating habits, it shall
direct us to diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. It has been kid-s
nature to love tasty food !ithout having any healthy eating mindset. As !e-re older,
change our diet by cutting do!n on sugar and salt food products starting from today.
It !ould definitely be a healthier lifestyle !ith a longer lifespan.
Other than that, #egular e,ercise is as important as healthy food habits, to
maintain a competent lifestyle. /ome people eat !ell, but avoid !orking out. &he
benefits of e,ercise have been proved time and again and don0t need any further
advocacy. If your !orking schedule is too hectic to allo! you any time for e,ercise,
try to find other !ays of !orking out. 1or instance, shun the elevators and climb up
the stairs to your office. ou can also !alk till the market, rather than rolling out your
car every time you !ant to buy something.
ou should also avoid bad habits such as smoking and do regular check'ups.
It0s no secret that nicotine use has been linked to a variety of life'threatening
illnesses, from cancer to heart disease and stroke. If you0re a smoker, make "uitting
your top priority. ou also have to think of your doctor as an ally !ho helps keep you
well, not *ust the person !ho treats you !hen you0re sick. #egular check'ups and
screenings are vital, especially if you or your family are predisposed to certain
medical conditions.
$aintaining a healthy lifestyle !ill become impossible !ith a lack of proper
sleep. +ever compromise !ith your sleeping hours, under any circumstance. 2ess
sleep hampers your efficiency by making you feel la3y and inactive. &ry to establish a
fi,ed bed time routine and follo! it religiously. ou should get up in the morning
feeling fresh and active, raring to go.
ou should also avoid stress to maintain a healthy lifestyle. +o matter ho!
busy you keep, take a breather once in a !hile, to re*uvenate your mind and
recharge your batteries. 2ife, especially in the present times, is too demanding and
challenging, and as such, it becomes important to rela,. (hill out to de'stress
yourself. &o maintain a lifestyle that is healthy, it is important to feel happy and
stress'free. ou can also go on occasional vacations, to dump all your !orries aside
and get on !ith the fun in life.
In the run up to a healthy lifestyle, !e often fail to prioriti3e, rather organi3e our
activities !ell. ou may !ant to incorporate some form of e,ercise in your daily
routine, but end up completing some other important task in your scheduled !orkout
time. Al!ays remember that an organi3ed lifestyle is a competent lifestyle.
/ystemati3e your tasks and get rid of the habit to procrastinate. &here is nothing like
a !ell'arranged day, to live a healthy life.
(reating a healthy lifestyle doesn0t have to mean drastic changes. In fact,
drastic changes almost al!ays lead to failure. $aking small changes in ho! you live
each day can lead to big re!ards, so figure out !hat you can to be healthy today.
