10 key factors to a better physical and mental health

An important part of life is to maintain good health both physically and mentally. There are plenty of things you can do to keep yourself mentally healthy and physically fit. 

1.Eat Well 

Eating well is the most important thing to maintain physical and mental health. There is an urban myth to have a diet plan which I don't recommend however, skip junk foods and eat healthy nutritious, freshly cooked food. 

2.Exercise daily 

Physical fitness plays a vital role in your mental health as well as physical health. It creates chemical reactions that are proven to reduce anxiety, stress and put you in a good mood. Either play sports like badminton, cricket or hit the gym that’s left to your choice but make sure you stay fit. 

3.Get Exposed to Sunlight 

Sunlight is a prominent source of vitamin D. Vitamin D is crucial for our bodies and our brains. It assits our brains to release chemicals that improve our mood such as endorphins and serotonin. Go out in the sun as much as possible, at least of 30 minutes to two hours a day of sunlight is necessary. 

4.Avoid Smoking, Alcohol and Drugs 

Drinking and smoking generally aren't associated with withdrawal symptoms, but they can cause some which impact your physical and mental health. Smoking can make your body and brain go into withdrawal which makes you irritable and anxious.

Go to bed at a reasonable hour and try to get at least 7 hours of sleep. It will help you achieve maximum recovery and face the next day with more strength.
