A healthy lifestyle can start with simply just making your bed in the morning. Getting an early, productive start can have a huge influence on how you perceive and perform in the rest of your day. Living a healthy lifestyle does not only include what you're eating daily. There are many factors that contribute to living a healthy lifestyle.
Sleep

Making sure to get a good amount of sleep every night will have so many benefits to your everyday life. Getting the proper amount of rest will improve your overall mood, reduced stress, and make sure you are fully recharged for the following day.
