Healthy Living: What’s In It For Me?
The way we live has a major effect on our health and wellbeing.
Healthy living helps our mind and body to function as well as possible in everyday life so that we can live, learn, work, and play as well as we can.
Even if it’s not the highest priority or when times seem really tough, being healthy can help to get us through.
Healthy living also helps lower your chance of getting diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes (type 2) and some cancers.
