How to Not Die
Staying alive might sound obvious, but living a long, healthy life takes some effort. It’s not about magic pills or secret tricks—it’s about simple habits that keep your body and mind working well every day.
**Eat Real Food**
Your body needs good fuel. That means eating a variety of foods, especially plants like fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes. These foods are packed with vitamins and minerals that help your heart stay strong and keep diseases away. Try to eat fish a couple of times a week too—especially oily kinds like salmon—which give you healthy fats important for your brain and heart.
Cut back on sugary drinks like soda or sweet tea because they add empty calories that can harm your health over time. Instead, drink water or unsweetened tea to stay hydrated without the sugar crash.
**Move Your Body**
Exercise isn’t just for looking good; it helps keep your heart pumping well and muscles strong. Even small amounts of daily movement—like walking or stretching—can make a big difference in how long you live and how well you feel.
**Sleep Well**
Getting enough sleep is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from illness. When you sleep well, your body repairs itself better; when you don’t get enough rest regularly, it’s easier to get sick or feel worn out.
**Keep Clean**
Washing hands often is one of the simplest ways to avoid getting sick from germs around us every day. Covering coughs and sneezes also stops bugs from spreading between people.
**Drink Less Alcohol**
Drinking less alcohol helps lower risks for many health problems including high blood pressure and liver issues while improving sleep quality so you’re less tired during the day.
**Take Care Of Your Mind**
Stress can wear down even the healthiest bodies over time. Taking moments each day for quiet reflection or meditation—even just five minutes—can calm nerves and improve mood which supports overall health too.
