Not infrequently the way that is carried out costs a lot of money and even often hit various norms and logic. But actually maintaining yourself to stay healthy is not difficult, even sometimes it does not require a fee at all. But of course it takes extra patience and patience that only a few people can keep consistent. Next we present 45 healthy ways of life that can be used as a reference for staying healthy and always happy in living life. The following is the presentation.

1. Increase consumption of water
   
   Drink plenty of water

Did you know that most of us actually often don't drink enough water every day? This is certainly not a good thing because as we all know water is very important for our body. This is because we lose water every day through urine, defecation, sweat and breathing, so we need to fill our water intake. A study shows the amount of water we need is dependent on various factors.

Like climate and weather conditions, physical activity we do, and weight, but generally we need 2.7-3.7 liters of water intake. If signs appear, for example; urine is colored or slightly yellow, lips dry, mouth dry and a little urinate. Immediately drink water because of the signs that arise because the body begins to lack fluids.

1. Get enough sleep and rest
   Sleep and adequate rest are one of the keys to healthy living habits. This is very reasonable because the body is in desperate need of rest to be able to return to its maximum activity. But if you don't rest well, you can compensate by eating more, but this is not recommended by health experts. Enough rest and sleep also prevents premature aging.

2. Meditation
   Meditation calms the mind and calms the soul. Tranquility itself is very beneficial for health because it can keep us from stress which is the source of many diseases and health problems.

3. Exercise regularly
   Research has shown that exercising daily brings tremendous benefits to our health, including increased life span, reduced risk of disease, higher bone density and weight loss. If you don't have time to exercise or go to the gym, walking or daily activities such as choosing to go up stairs and open the elevator will be an easy and inexpensive substitute for sports activities.

4. Do exercise as part of pleasure
   When enjoying sports, you will naturally want to do it. Because sports that are forced to cause suffering which instead causes you to want to continue to do it but instead become lazy. So choose the sport you like and do the routine.

   Eat more fruits and reduce synthetic vitamins. There are many types of fruit that can be consumed which in addition to healthy also taste delicious.

7. Eat more vegetables
   Like fruits, vegetables are important for our health. Experts suggest that we should at least consume 5-9 servings of fruits / vegetables, every day. The bad news is that most people do not like to eat vegetables, and this is certainly not good for our health.

8. Choose brightly colored foods as antioxidants
   Fruits and vegetables with bright colors are usually high in anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are needed by the body because they eliminate and counteract free radicals in our body that can damage our body's cells.
