why is it that good health habits is important?

Question

can you give me some tips of having a good health habits..............

Answer 1

Why the habits are important is that as we age our system slows so it is harder to stay healthy. So limiting the things that can cause side-effects limits our chance of unwanted effects. Just like the pain of breaking a bone may go away but show up again as the "old football injury", our choices can come back to haunt us.
Healthy- limit/avoid sugars and processed foods

Return to informed portions instead of "what ever is on the plate"

If it grows that way it is usually healthy (barring poisons) with the exception of meats which should be cooked well.

Wishing you more success than I had in maintaining health.
