Many aspects must be done by someone in order to live.
At least understand how he manages his life, spiritually and physically to be
healthy and in turn, his quality of life. The behavior of healthy people to
stay healthy and improve is called healthy behavior, which includes behavior in
preventing or avoiding disease and the cause of disease / problem, or the cause

with balanced nutrition, regular exercise, not smoking and drinking, avoiding
mosquito bites, brushing your teeth after eating, washing your hands with soap

One manifestation and application of learning health
science is the realization of a person who has knowledge, skills about health,
and the formation of a life attitude known as a healthy lifestyle. Many aspects
that must be done by someone at least understand how he manages his life,
spiritually and physically to be healthy and in turn lead to a quality life.
The behavior of healthy people to stay healthy and
improve their health is called healthy behavior, which includes behaviors in
preventing or avoiding diseases and causes of illness / problems, or causes of
health problems, as well as behaviors in seeking improved health. Examples are
eating with balanced nutrition, regular exercise, not smoking and drinking,
avoiding mosquito bites, brushing your teeth after eating, washing your hands
with soap before eating and so on.
According to Becker (1979), healthy behaviors are
behaviors or activities related to maintaining and improving health, including:
1. Eat a balanced menu. The balanced menu here is a
daily diet that meets the nutritional needs that the body needs both according
to the amount (quantity) and type (quality).
2. Regular and sufficient physical activity. Physical
activity here does not have to be sport. For someone whose job is already
fulfilling physical movements routinely and regularly, actually it can be
categorized as exercise. For someone whose job does not do physical activities
such as managers, administrators, secretaries and so on, requires regular
exercise.
