Practice!: Lots of factors to consider when describing "healthy lifestyle". Good nutrition & regular exercise are key. But exercise should be more than just aerobic - be sure strength, flexibility, even balance is included. What about emotional health? Spiritual? Sexual? Finding time to reflect on you & your goals is a good idea. Meditation, too. Don't forget washing hands, getting vaccines, screening approp.

Healthy Life Style: Maintain normal weight by eating 5 vegetables and 2-3 fruits of different colors every day, lean protein about the size of the palm of your hand and whole grains. Use olive oil as your main source of fat. Exercise 5-7 days a week for 30-45 minutes. Do things that bring you joy and decrease stress. Put time into relationships with loved ones. Consider bringing a pet into your life.
