<p><a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/topics/healthy-eating">Healthy eating</a> is not about eating perfectly and avoiding all junk food or “sometimes foods”. Instead, it’s about developing healthy habits and focusing on foods that support health and wellbeing, with the occasional treat.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A healthy diet means a wide variety of nutritious foods to support your health and wellbeing. <a href="https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/guidelines/about-australian-dietary-guidelines">According to the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating</a>, this<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/food-pyramid-australia"> means eating foods from the 5 food groups</a>: grains,<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/the-health-benefits-of-eating-vegetables"> vegetables</a> and legumes/beans, meat and alternatives, fruits and dairy and alternatives.&nbsp;</p>

<h5>What is healthy eating?</h5>

<p>Current<a href="https://www.health.gov.au/topics/physical-activity-and-exercise/physical-activity-and-exercise-guidelines-for-all-australians#:~:text=At%20least%203%20hours%20per,least%203%20days%20per%20week."> Australian guidelines</a> recommend everyone between 18 to 64 years old to be active on most (preferably all) days, and have a weekly total of 2.5 to 5 hours of moderate activity or 1.25 to 2.5 hours vigorous activity, or an equivalent combination of both.</p>
<p>However, their overarching recommendation is simply to sit less, get people moving and be active for life.</p>
<p>That’s why<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-to-pick-an-exercise-that-you-love"> choosing exercises you actually enjoy doing</a> is likely to lead to more motivation to be active. Research into this area has shown that people who choose an activity they themselves want to do are more likely to stick to their physical activity goals, exercise for longer and feel less exhausted when exercising.</p>

<h5>What’s a good daily exercise routine?&nbsp;</h5>

<p>Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be overwhelming at times. That's why we have broken down big health topics into bite size articles and tips for you to digest easily.&nbsp;</p>
<p>One way to get started on your health journey is to <a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/cant-get-motivated">find out your why</a>. By identifying your why, you are more likely to stick with small habits and be motivated to change.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/cant-get-motivated">Other tips</a> to fuel your motivational mojo include managing your to-do list, ignoring your inner critic, playing some heroic tunes, and eating good quality wholefoods .&nbsp;</p>

<h5>How do I maintain a healthy lifestyle?</h5>

<p>Stress, burnout, anxiety, overwork and not getting enough sleep can all<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/why-do-i-feel-so-tired"> make us tired</a>. Then factor in children, shift work, looking after older family members and natural changes in energy, it’s no wonder you’re asking yourself, ‘Why do I always feel so tired?’</p>
<p>While there’s no magic bullet for boosting your energy levels, eating well, moving more and putting yourself to bed early can go a long way to making you feel better. It may also help to check if your iron levels are low. And, if you’re feeling stressed (which is a big energy zapper), it’s helpful to find ways to<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-to-deal-with-stress"> manage stress</a>, such as <a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/what-is-mindfulness">meditation and mindfulness</a>.</p>

<h5>Why do I always feel tired?</h5>

<p>When preparing a meal, The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend that you should aim to<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-many-servings-of-vegetables-per-day"> dedicate at least one-third of it to vegetables.</a> While this expectation may seem daunting, the variety and versatility of veggies make it easier to achieve than you’d think.</p>
<p>Effortlessly increase your intake by slipping your choice of vegetable into existing dishes like pasta, stir-fries and soups. Or, if you’re planning on preparing a meal that’s lacking in vegetables, try incorporating a simple side salad.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Exercising can feel like a chore, but there are a few<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-to-start-exercising"> simple strategies</a> that can help you stay active.</p>
<p>Firstly, it’s easy to get swept up into doing something you think you should do or what’s claiming to be the ‘best’ exercise around at the moment. What’s more important though is picking an activity you actually enjoy doing!</p>
<p>Secondly, treating your exercise time like a meeting or a date means you’ve booked that time out in your diary and you’re making it a priority.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Other tips for sticking to an exercise routine include celebrating your wins, enlisting family and friends (even colleagues) for support and making incidental exercise part of your everyday routine. This can include walking the dog every day, walking to the shops or work (or part of the way) if possible.</p>

<p>According to the World Health Organisation, health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or physical or mental weakness. It’s the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and a fundamental human right.</p>

<p>Trouble sleeping is a common issue and we all feel the dreaded<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/why-is-sleep-important"> side effects of poor sleep</a> – lack of concentration, mood changes and irritability. We simply don’t feel great.</p>
<p>A<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-to-sleep-better"> few strategies to help you sleep better</a> include waking up at the same time each day, going to bed when you’re tired, looking after yourself physically and mentally during the day, and identifying the things that interfere with your sleep, such as blue light from your phone or tablet.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>A key part of<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/what-is-resilience"> resilience</a> is your ability to adapt. Adapting means being able to make adjustments (physical, emotional, mental) based on changing information and circumstances. The more you are able to adapt, the more resilient you will be.</p>
<p>Resilience is something that we can develop in a number of ways, just like building a muscle.</p>
<p>One way to build resilience is to build healthy, positive relationships with empathetic and understanding people. The stronger your relationships are, the better your ability to deal with adversity.</p>
<p>Making time to foster mental wellness is also important to building resilience. Try to find some time in your week for mindfulness practices like journaling, yoga, prayer or meditation. A healthy mind doesn’t only help you be more productive in life, it will also help you deal with situations that require resilience.</p>

<p>If you’re like most people, you probably have good intentions when it comes to living healthy but sometimes it can become overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to make<a href="https://www.healthylife.com.au/learn/how-do-we-develop-habits"> small, achievable habits you can actually stick to</a>.</p>
<p>By identifying one small change&nbsp; that you can do each day, sets you up for healthy habit success.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It might be as simple as ensuring you fill up your water bottle while you make your breakfast so it’s ready to go. Be consistent and stick at it. Within a month, you’ll probably notice that you’re drinking 2 litres of water before dinner, or that it’s easier to get up for your morning walk.</p>
