Answer:
Eat food. Everyone's ideal diet is different, yet we all need to cover the same bases. Eat fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy, protein, and healthy fats.[1] Talk to your physician about your needs: if you have a medical condition, you may need to be more careful about what you eat.
Eat at least three meals a day with healthy snacks in between. Pay attention to your portion size and serving sizes of different foods to make sure that you're not overeating. It is unhealthy to overeat, even if it is with healthy foods.
Avoid processed food and fast food. Eat foods made from fresh and simple ingredients whenever you can.[2]
Eat a variety of whole foods. Eat beans, nuts, salads, and fermented foods like yogurt.
Forget vitamins and supplements unless a doctor recommends them so you can be sure they’re effective and safe for you.[3] If you eat a variety of foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, you'll get the nutrients you need.
Get in the habit of eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're full. Pay attention to your food while you eat so that you notice your level of hunger decreasing.
If you think about food all the time, if you eat when you're not hungry, or if you avoid eating at all, you might have an eating disorder. Consult your physician.[4]

Drink fluids. Drink water, some juices, broth, milk, and other liquids throughout the day.[5] Drink at least 2 liters, or about 8 glasses of 8 oz of liquid a day to make sure you’re well-hydrated.[6]
Eating juicy vegetables and fruits will also hydrate you.
Try to avoid soda and other artificially sweetened drinks. Sugar is bad for your metabolism, your teeth, and your immune system.[7]
3
Exercise. Make sure you move every day. It will boost your mood, your energy, and your health.[8] If you're an adult, aim for about 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week. Activity that counts as vigorous is when you maintain 70-85% of your maximum heart rate for the entire period of exercise. It's better to exercise more frequently than to get all your working out in one day, so do something daily if you can.
You don't have to join a gym to exercise. You can take brisk walks, go on runs, swim, or join a dance troupe.

Sleep. Sleep has everything to do with health. To maintain your immune resistance, your weight, and your mental health, keep a regular sleep schedule.[9] If you're an adult, go for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. Try to wind down naturally around the same time every evening so you’re your body knows it's time to relax.[10]
Teenagers may need closer to 10 hours of sleep a night.
Older adults still need 7-8 hours of sleep, but may also need to nap more and spend more time in bed.
5
Relax. Taking time off from work and other stressors is essential to your health. Engage in the hobbies that relax you, get out of the house and walk in nature, hang out with friends, and learn some relaxation techniques that you can do in rough moments.[11] Chronic stress can lead to heart disease, headaches, digestive issues, memory issues, weight gain, and mental illness.[12]
Even if you don't work, it's important to take vacations from your everyday routine.
Take many vacations and weekend trips in which you focus on relaxing.[13] Try to keep your evenings free.[14]
Take quick naps and short breaks during your workday.
Meditate.
If you are a trauma survivor, stress might hit you especially hard. A mental health counselor can make a great difference during times of stress.
