A healthy lifestyle is currently trending in this modern era, as an increasing number of individuals recognize the significance of maintaining a balance between physical and mental health.
Moreover, a healthy lifestyle encompasses a range of positive choices and habits aimed at enhancing overall quality of life.
To effectively adopt a healthy lifestyle, proper planning is essential. Diet serves as a fundamental pillar that must be included in the planning of a healthy lifestyle.
"You want to be healthy or unwell, you still need to consult a doctor. Even individuals with diabetes or cancer will inquire about what they can eat when consulting a physician. From the moment you are born, you begin to eat. Thus, this is a basic pillar for achieving a healthy lifestyle. It is important to remember that all these basic pillars must be personalized," stated Dr. Ida Gunawan, MS SpGK(K), a Specialist in Clinical Nutrition Consulting.
In addition to diet, Dr. Ida emphasized that engaging in physical activities such as exercise is also a key component of a healthy lifestyle. Humans require movement to activate their muscle functions.
"Consuming a balanced and nutritious diet along with engaging in physical activity forms the foundation of human life. Therefore, to create an appropriate health plan, comprehensive health screening should be conducted. Follow a diet and engage in physical activity. This must be approached on a personal level," concluded Dr. Ida.
