Another thing which contributes to unhealthy lifestyle is laziness. Laziness kills human abilities and not only decrease physical fitness but is also unfit for mental health. Factors that contribute to laziness are inactive human behavior, sleeping too much, eating too much, excess use of machine etc. One must try to be as active as possible and replace all the lazy activities with active one like going for a walk or playing with kids rather than watching TV or sitting idle.
Other factors that contribute to unhealthy lifestyle are related to one’s mind e.g. aggression, depression, revenge, anxiety, sadness etc. These mental issues are the creation of one’s psyche as well as external societal factors. These are injurious to ones health and later on results in physical diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, heart problems etc. Therefore one must try to keep his or her mind healthy so as to achieve a healthy body. To keep one’s mind healthy one must try to hold a positive attitude towards all life matters no matter whether its relationships or work, one should love and help each other, and involve in useful activities. Meditation and yoga are sometimes quite helpful in achieving mental satisfaction and peace.
Also by increasing knowledge regarding health issues one can change his or her lifestyle to a healthy one. Obviously change comes gradually therefore one must keep on trying and try to indulge in healthy activities. One can start at a slow pace and then gradually increase the pace. To take an initiative going for a daily walk, light exercise and healthy eating can work. Focusing on both physical and mental aspects of health is very important for healthy living therefore whatever you do focus on both aspects.
These simple but important things can prove to be a first step towards healthy living and of course they don’t cost anything too.
- Early to bed and early to rise
- Healthy diet by increasing fruits, vegetables and water consumption
- Increasing power and strength by daily exercise
- Involving in activities that keeps one active

Another hurdle in living a healthy life is stress. Stress can be related to many issues like:

- Concerns related to time and routine
- Laziness
- Typical stereotypes
- Anxiety problems
- Social and Family issues
- Common health problem etc
All these issues should be tackled carefully because researches have shown clearly that stress is related to weight gain which is definitely too unhealthy.

You will feel a new zeal in whatever you do and thus your life becomes more interesting. No doubt changing one’s lifestyle is difficult but obviously not impossible thus don’t lose heart as results really worth your efforts.
