Easy healthy habits!
Exercise. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle and you don't work out in a gym every day, don't worry: you don't have to exercise a lot to keep fit. Research states that even some little exercise can help you stay in shape and live longer. This can be something very simple, such as walking outside or playing any sports.
Food. You don't necessarily need to follow a diet to be healthy. You should stick to a balanced diet: more vegetables and fruits, less fatty foods and sugar. Try to eat home-cooked meals more, and avoid eating fast food. If you are addicted to eating some unhealthy food, try to eat less of it, but do not remove it from your diet completely. Most of unhealthy food is comfort food which you eat when you have bad mood. Make sure you control how your emotions influence what you eat.
