You have to eat right, exercise, quit bad habits like smoking and drinking, free from stress and maintain good hygiene to be healthy.

Eat healthy:
Good nutritious food is important for our body. The human body needs to have nutrients whether through eating food or taking supplements. Say no to junk food as they do not help but only make you gain weight. Add a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Avoid eating fatty meats like pork, ham, sausages and salami. If you are a vegetarian than certain benefits like iron and B-12 that you get from eating meat would not be provided so in exchange for the meat you should take supplements. Watch the amount of sugar you take. Reduction of sugar is important to good health; therefore always check out the sugar content of anything you eat even if it appears to be healthy. Cut down on fat consumption by taking low fat cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream. Nuts should be included in your diet.
Quit Smoking:
Smoking kills. It is injurious to health but many a times we conveniently not pay attention to it and do not want about the effect it has on our health. Even smoking a few cigarettes a day can hurt your health. Many people say that smoking helps relieve stress but that is not so, it’s just that they want to believe that it does. Though it is difficult to quit smoking but with a little help from people around you, who cares about your well being you can do it.

Smoking can cause various health problems like lung infection, cancer; kidney infection etc. So improve your health and quit smoking today.
Reduce Stress
Stress can disturb your health. It can also disturb your sleep thus giving you headaches and insomnia. It is important to relieve yourself from stress to stay healthy. A sound mind gives a healthy body. There are ways you can relieve from stress. Try and do something you like and not think about anything negative. Pamper your body and your soul. Go for a massage or soak in a hot tub, exercise, do yoga and meditate, read a good book or play with your pets, listen to some good music. These are said to be great stress busters.

Follow a good hygiene. It is reported that those having bad hygiene often fall sick. Free your body from bacteria. Take bath regularly and wear clean clothes. Also it is important to follow a good dental hygiene to have healthy teeth. Floss your teeth everyday.

How to Stay Healthy and Fit
If you’re a smoking teenager, chances are very big to get a heart disease or stroke when you’ll be older. So in that case, I would suggest you try to avoid any kind of cigarettes, to practice sport, to say no to alcohol or any kind of drugs and to always have safe sex. It is also strongly recommended to pay the doctor a visit more often for different tests, such as measuring your blood pressure and checking your general health.
What you eat is also very important for your health. An obese person is at risk for many diseases. The BMI (body mass index) is being used to measure the proportions between weight and height. A person considered to be overweight has a body mass index above 95%, but for example, an athlete can also have a high BMI without being overweight. The explanation could be that the body has extra muscle tissue, but no fat at all. The body begins to gain weight when it’s overfed, that means when it receives more calories than it needs, or than it burns off. Obesity means stress for the body, health and mind. Obese people feel depressed and there is more likely for them to eat to cure this depression than to run or swim. So, the key in avoiding obesity is to have an organized life program, respect your body, to exercise everyday, to try to eat healthy and to avoid tobacco, alcohol or drugs.
It’s very important to teach yourself to eat only what’s good for your health, because, after all, you’re eating to stay alive, not staying alive just for the taste of food. Even though you’re not a sporty person, you should try to find an activity that you enjoy to mix it somehow with a bit of sport. For example, if you feel to relax yourself, take the bike and go to your favorite place: a lake, a forest, a park instead of watching TV and being tempted of eating in front of it. Spend more time outside, in the nature rather than staying at the computer, playing some game that instead of relaxing you, will make you more tired. Read more about ways of staying healthy, it will improve your knowledge and most importantly: a healthy body needs a healthy mind!

Phlegm in the Throat - How to Get Rid of Phlegm in Throats?
Phlegm in throat is normal in healthy human beings, and its purpose is to filter the air we breathe by trapping tiny particles, like dust, and preventing them from entering our respiratory system. The mucus in a person's nose and throat is made by the cells which line the sinus passage and is typically a clear color and quite thin.
However, occasionally a build-up of bacteria can cause phlegm in throat to become a greenish-yellow color, or sometimes even gray. These bacteria can lead to infections and also cause a tonsil stone on the back of the throat or tongue.
These stones are usually caused by a sulfur-based bacteria or debris that builds up inside the pockets of the tonsils and generally appear white in color and can be both irritating and painful. They can result in bad breath, coughing, earaches, difficulty swallowing, and phlegm in throat. A tonsil stone can be expressed with a Q-tip or pulsating jets of water, but if tonsillitis develops, in many cases the tonsil themselves may have to be removed instead of just the stones.
The glands of the throat typically produce one to two quarts of mucus on a daily basis, which serves to moisten and cleanse the membranes of the nose, trap foreign matter that has been inhaled, and fight infection. Excess amounts of mucus in the nose or throat can cause irritation, constant throat clearing, and even bleeding. If you suffer from excessive phlegm in throat, see your doctor for treatment options.
