Specific individuals believe that sleep time can be sacrificed or function on limited sleep. Lack of sleep can affect the well-being of a person on a very substantial scale. Individuals who do not get enough sleep may be susceptible to overfeeding or relying on junk food (Grandner, 2017). Similarly, even getting a lot but varying amounts of sleep can adversely affect a person’s well-being by changing their diet, energy levels, and mental functions. Adequate sleep supports good physical and psychological health (Grandner, 2017). In order to ensure a healthy lifestyle, a regimen of good sleep, a balanced diet, and daily exercise should be created that allows people to move towards a healthy lifestyle that benefits physical and mental well-being.
Some people claim that it is expensive to eat healthily. They believe it is tough to keep a balanced diet, especially if a person has a tiring job and no time to cook meals. Eating a balanced diet improves body efficiency by providing all the nutrients required for normal functioning (Lim, 2018). A balanced diet makes the body resistant to diseases, fatigue, and underperformance. Adjusting to foods rich in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals can help a person maintain a healthy weight, improve mental health, attain average growth and boost immunity against diseases and infection (Popović et al., 2019). Meeting all the necessary nutrients required by the body can help a person maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Individuals who do not participate in daily activities believe it is not essential to begin challenging and energy-draining exercises. Even some minor daily activities are beneficial to one’s lifestyle (Edemekong et al., 2017). The importance lies in being consistent because the daily activity allows the body to strengthen muscles and other human body parts (Edemekong et al., 2017). Building habits can alter one’s lifestyle; even small changes can offer people positive results when applied repeatedly.
