Secrets of
Healthy Eating

The key to a healthy diet is to eat the right amount of calories for how active you are so you balance the energy you consume with the energy you use. If you eat or drink more than your body needs, you'll put on weight because the energy you do not use is stored as fat. If you eat and drink too little, you'll lose weight. You should also eat a wide range of foods to make sure you're getting a balanced diet and your body is receiving all the nutrients it needs. It's recommended that men have around 2,500 calories a day (10,500 kilojoules). Women should have around 2,000 calories a day (8,400 kilojoules).

Smoking
Quitting Smoking

Secrets of
Quitting Smoking

People who smoke take in the chemical nicotine from tobacco. Each time you use tobacco, nicotine triggers the brain's reward system. People become addicted to that trigger. But people who smoke also can get used to the habit of smoking, not just the nicotine. The chemical addiction and the habits people form around smoking, when combined, make it hard to quit. Like most people who smoke, you may have tried to quit. But it's rare to stop smoking on your first attempt, and even harder if you try to do it without help. You have a better chance of preventing smoking relapse if you have help, and if you make a plan.

It’s these themes that can be helpful as you aim to better understand and define balance for yourself.

Healthy Lifestyle
