 HISTORY OF EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE

Healthy habits such as eating healthy and physical activity have numerous benefits. They

protect such from obesity and diabetes. Practicing healthy eating and drinking water also helps

with weight management and it gives you a boost of energy. After a while, these habits that have

been practiced will become a part of a routine, leading to a healthier lifestyle. Water intake,

dieting, regular physical activity, and tracking your metabolic weight are all healthy habits that

should be practiced because of their effect on weight loss, mental health, and bodily functions.

Adult humans are made up of 60 percent water, which is why water intake is essential to

living a healthy lifestyle. To function properly, all the cells and organs of the body need water.

(Mcintosh, 2018) One of the benefits of drinking water is that it has huge benefits on the brain.

Studies show that even mild dehydration (1-3% of body weight) can impair many aspects of the

brain’s function. (Leech, 2017)

According to a study of young women, fluid loss of 1.36% after exercise impaired both

mood and focus. (Leech,2017) Drinking water also helps dissolve minerals and nutrients,

making them more accessible to the body. (Mcintosh,2018) Enough water intake can also.

preventing kidney damage. the kidneys do not function properly, and waste products and excess

fluid can build up inside the body. (Mcintosh, 2018)

 Regular exercise is also a healthy habit that improves one’s lifestyle. Exercise can reduce

the risk of developing several diseases like cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Exercise also

affects one’s mood as it has been shown to improve mood and decrease feelings of depression

and stress. Psychical activity can also increase brain sensitivity to the hormones serotonin and

norepinephrine, which relieve feelings of depression. (Semeco, 2017) A study focused on 24

women who had been diagnosed with depression, showed that exercise of any intensity

decreased their depression. (Semeco,2017)

Exercise may also lead to weight loss. Studies have shown that combining aerobic

exercise with weight training can maximize fat loss and build muscle (Semeco, 2017) Not only

does exercise make you feel happier, and makes you lose weight it also boosts energy levels.

One study found that six weeks of regular exercise reduced feelings of fatigue for 36 healthy

people who had reported constant fatigue. (Semeco, 2017)

A healthy diet includes a good balance of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and

starches, fat, and protein. The most common benefit of dieting is weight loss. Losing weight can

help to reduce the risk of chronic conditions. If a person is overweight or obese, they have a

higher risk of developing several conditions such as heart disease. (Critchon-Stewart, 2018)

Healthy eating habits also affect one’s mood. It keeps cortisol, a stress hormone, levels under

control and prevents huge swings in blood sugar that might trigger stress. (Ristick)

What you eat and psychically do affects your metabolism. Which is the rate at which the

body burns calories. Metabolic tests measure the rate at which your body burns calories and uses

oxygen during rest or different activities. (Frey,2019)

 In conclusion, anyone can live a healthier lifestyle as long as they form good habits.

Activities such as exercise, dieting, and drinking water help weight loss, prevent diseases, and

are needed to survive. Eating healthy and exercising does not only affects one's physical body, as

living a healthy lifestyle contributes to lower stress levels, decreased depression, and higher self-

esteem.
