What are the core components of a healthy diet?
A healthy diet emphasizes:

- Lean protein: Chicken, fish, beans, and lentils are excellent choices.
-
- Healthy fats: Found in nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil.
How much exercise do I need for optimal health?
Adults should aim for:
- At least 150 minutes: of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (like brisk walking) or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (like running) per week.
-

Why is sleep crucial for a healthy lifestyle?
Sleep is essential because:

Here are some healthy stress management techniques:

- Deep breathing exercises: Simple breathing techniques can quickly manage stress levels in the moment.
- Spend time in nature: The outdoors can promote a sense of relaxation and well-being.

What are some unhealthy habits I should avoid?
For a healthier lifestyle, try to minimize or eliminate:
- Smoking: One of the most damaging habits for overall health.
- Excessive alcohol consumption: Alcohol interferes with healthy sleep, weakens the immune system, and can increase the risk of several chronic diseases.
