1 Stay Active. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, 3-4 days a week. Work out all parts of your body, not just cardio.
2 Eat Healthy Food. Cut down on red meats and increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Consider following a vegetarian diet. Avoid saturated fat, salt, and sugars. It's OK to reward yourself every now and then with that slice of cake, but don't eat the whole cake.
3 Eat Smaller Portions. Portion sizes served in restaurants are much larger than what our bodies actually need and what is healthy. Get out of the habit of feeling that you always have to finish your plate.
4 Get Enough Sleep. Sleep can add up to 11 years of your life. The amount of sleep you need varies between people, but most people need to get at least get 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night in order to function at their highest capacity. There are no rules to this, so if you need 10 hours of rest to feel good the next day, then that's what you need to do. The consequences of not getting enough sleep include feeling poorly, working inefficiently, weakening your immune system, and even depression.
5 Boost Your Immune System. Make sure you get all the essential vitamins. For vegetarians, B & D vitamins can be hard to get (there is no source of vitamin B12 in a vegan diet), as well as zinc and iron. Consider taking a daily multivitamin. Vitamin C & zinc are also important for your immune system, and eating a balanced diet will ensure that you take in a sufficient amount.
6 Practice a Good Hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and don't skip flossing! Wash your hands regularly, and shower no more than once daily.
7 Drink Plenty of Water. Drinking 8 glasses of water a day is the minimum. Don't wait until you feel thirsty, because at that point your body may already be dehydrated. Get in the habit of carrying a bottle of water with you at all times.
8 Quitting Bad Habits. Try to stop some bad habits that actually harms your body and damage your health. Start from quitting the smoke, then stop alcoholic, stop become couch potatoes...etc. You will feel healthier after that.
9 Get Your Screen Once a Year. Try to maintain a medical check up at least once a year to keep trace of your body system. Keep an eye on your elevating blood sugar and cholesterol levels especially for the elders.
