Being healthy physically, mentally and emotionally doesn’t just happen, it is established and maintained by several activities pursued intentionally.
Fortunately, you don’t need to be a high-income earner to maintain good health.
So how can you maintain good health without breaking the bank?
Here are 18 practices to observe:
🥗A healthy feeding habit in which an adequate quantity of food, containing a balanced proportion of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins, is consumed twice or thrice a day.
💦Adequate and frequent intake of water and other fluids.
🛏Sleep 6-8 hours a day regularly and one-hour nap in the afternoon for the elderly.
