2. Bring Movement Into your Everyday Life
Modern everyday life is comfortable. Cars, elevators, and escalators are practical, but they reduce our daily movement.
However, it is vital for staying healthy. Try to walk more often, ride the bike, and even prefer the stairs or spend your lunch break actively. Just 15 minutes of exercise a day can prolong life and make it healthier.
Exercise can also reduce symptoms of certain diseases, such as scoliosis pain.

Regular exercise activates the natural killer (NK) cells. These cells respond quickly to various pathological challenges and can kill cancer cells. A protective effect of sport has already been scientifically confirmed for 13 different types of cancer. These include, for example, breast, colon, and lung cancer. Furthermore, so-called B and T cells become more active through exercise. These cells ward off infections, chronic inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.
3. Water, the Source of Life
There is no life on Earth without water. And about 70% of the human body is made up of water.
If you want to stay healthy, you should drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day - it is calorie-free and ensures optimal body functioning. Drinking too little can impair concentration, lead to headaches, and promote constipation.
Therefore, drinking water regularly is a natural booster for your health.

4. Use the Power of Plants
Many medicinal plants can help you stay healthy. For example, ginseng should be mentioned here. Its vital active ingredients can, for example, reduce oxidative stress (imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body).
Such medicinal plants that naturally reduce stress are also known as adaptogens and can help you stay healthy and fit.
5. Get Out Into Nature: Vitamins for Your Immune System
The sun and fresh air positively affect your physical and mental health. Due to the UV-B radiation of the sun, your body can form Vitamin D in the skin during the summer months. This vitamin contributes, for example, to the immune system's normal functioning and puts you in a good mood.
You can perfectly combine sports and staying outside. Walking, jogging, swimming - that's twice beneficial to your health.
By the way: You can spend your lunch break outside, soak up some sun and relax. Even if it sounds paradoxical at first, the air outdoors is usually better than indoors, even in the city.
6. Train Your Brain
You influence not only your physical but also your mental health. You're mistaken if you think of old age only in front of a crossword puzzle. It makes sense to constantly load your brain with new tasks, even at a young age. For example, you can learn a new language, read different kinds of books, or use brain training apps. Even if the latter's effect is often overestimated, it can't harm and is also fun.
