Healthy Lifestyle:
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Lifestyle is defined as: In public health, lifestyle generally means a pattern of individual practices and personal behavioral choices that are related to elevated or reduced health risk.
A healthy lifestyle means doing what you can to keep your body and mind in optimum shape. This involves making wise choices in your daily diet, performing the right amount of physical activity, coping well with stress and controlling your weight. The end results will be feeling your best, looking your best and living your best life for a long time.
The Most Common Ways To Lead a Healthy Life Style: There can be few recommendations which are:
1. Routine Exercise:
In Bangladesh exercise is not a quite popular option but it needs to be followed to lead a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise strengthens your heart, lungs, muscles and bones to prevent illness and injury, especially as you age. Exercise helps to control your weight by burning the calories you take in from your diet, and it helps to control stress also. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week for cardiovascular benefits. Strength training with weights, pushups or elastic banding in a systematic manner are good for health. Moreover, Exercise helps to strength our muscles, & keep blood circulation normal.

2. Stress Relief:
Every day we go through various kind of stress but it’s not good for health & to maintain a good health we need to be stress free & have positive attitude. When you don't relieve the tension, the physical effects take a toll on your health. The researchers said that physical and mental problems such as back pain, high blood pressure and depression may be alleviated or prevented with regular stress relief. Practice relaxation with personal timeouts or techniques such as yoga or hobby pursuits to fit stress relief into your busy but yet healthy lifestyle.

3. Good Personal Habits:
A person need to have some good habits that will help to lead a healthy life. Smoking, drinking too much alcohol and not getting enough sleep are habits to avoid. Use the other elements of a positive lifestyle instead. Physical exercise beats smoking for stress relief. In place of alcohol, caffeine or sweetened sodas, choose a nutritious beverage or calorie-free water. To sleep better at night, spend 30 minutes relaxing with a book or soft music before bedtime.

The above recommendations are not properly followed in our country and it is harming the people. Some way we can say that maybe the people of our country is unaware of these. So the government should take steps to give these knowledge to all walks of people or to those who doesn’t know about these vital steps to maintain a healthy life and life longer.

Live a Healthy Life In Unhealthy Dhaka City:
In recent reports of many published organizations and forums released that there are many cities which are highly populated and not good to live in. Our Dhaka city is one of the highest rated city on those lists. It is shameful that our beloved city is getting polluted day by day by us and by the rulers of the country. Who is to blame for this?? There can be a lot of names that we can say and blame them but do we ever ask ourselves that are we doing any good?? No we cannot. We are just seeing this city getting destroyed and polluted and just enjoying it.
There are many people lives in Dhaka city but the capacity of this city is not getting bigger. But more people are coming to Dhaka and wants to improve their lives. In this process, they are making Dhaka city more dense and populated. This is not a good sign at all. There are corporate people who are damaging the environment by uprooting the trees. Trees are our friend and good for environment. But for their own greed these people are killing the environment by destroying trees. We can talk about these problems all over again. But it will do no good. We live here. So we are the people who needs to step up and help preventing these people from destroying the city.
There are some recommendation in which ways we can live a healthy life in a unhealthy Dhaka city.
Recommendations:

1. Wear masks which can protect people when riding and transports like bike. Rickshaw pullers can use this too.
2. Follow a healthy diet which will prevent any harmful disease attack the body. Diet can be recommend by the doctors or health experts.
3. Watch the videos or listen to the health experts about how bad diseases attacks our body and try not to do that kind of work.
4. Live in a greener environment by planting trees in around the house to keep the atmosphere good.
5. Be safe by making your morale strong which will prevent you from doing bad sexual works which can harm your health.
6. Follow a daily routine which is beneficial to your health.
