EP2 Definition of healthy living & an outline of elements of healthy living

EP2 Definition of healthy living & an outline of elements of healthy living I found the best definition of healthy living by public health agency of Canada (PHAC), they defined healthy living according to two levels, at population level & at individual level

At a population level, healthy living refers to the practices of population groups that are consistent with supporting, improving, maintaining and/or enhancing health. As it applies to individuals, healthy living is the practice of health enhancing behaviours, or put simply, living in healthy ways. It implies the physical, mental and spiritual capacity to make healthy choices. "Public Health Agency of Canada"

Outline of elements of healthy living :
1-Balanced nutritious diet
2-Regular physical activity
3-Good quality and quantity of sleep
4-Wise judgement of behaviours and hobbies which is subdivided into:
A) no smoking, no illicit drugs & no alcohol consumption or moderation of alcohol consumption
B) care of your body and know your health history
C) stress management (prevent or beat life stressors)
