A healthy diet includes a variety of foods from all the food groups, such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and dairy. It also emphasizes moderation, portion control, and limiting intake of processed foods, sugar, salt, and saturated fats.

Regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight, improves cardiovascular health, boosts mental well-being, and enhances overall physical fitness. It also reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and certain cancers.

Setting realistic goals, tracking progress, finding enjoyable physical activities, seeking support from friends or family, and rewarding oneself for achievements can help sustain motivation for a healthy lifestyle.
