Healthy Living Tips

Small, consistent habits add up to a healthier life.

Move every day

Aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity most days — brisk walking counts. Sitting all day raises the risk of heart disease, even if you exercise once a week.

Sleep 7–9 hours

Keep a consistent sleep schedule, avoid screens for 30 minutes before bed, and keep the bedroom cool and dark. Quality sleep boosts immunity, memory and mood.

Eat the rainbow

Half your plate should be fruits and vegetables. Different colours provide different antioxidants and fibre.

Hydrate

Drink water through the day. Pale yellow urine usually means you're well hydrated.

Limit ultra-processed food

Cut back on sugary drinks, packaged snacks and fried foods. Cook at home when you can.

Mind your mind

Practice 10 minutes of mindful breathing, journalling or a hobby every day. Mental health is health.

Connect with people

Strong relationships are one of the biggest predictors of long, healthy life. Call a friend today.

Avoid tobacco; limit alcohol

There is no safe amount of tobacco. Keep alcohol modest — ideally no more than one drink a day, and several alcohol-free days a week.
