Having worked in public health as a researcher, educator and clinician, I'd like to support the comments that others have made about the importance of your diet - that is, what you eat and how often. And yes - exercise and movement is important too. Use whatever means helps you to create healthy habits. So if tracking's your thing, go for it, or else join or create a neighborhood walking club that can support this habit while also creating social connections.

Michael Pollan's guide is apt: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." Minimise sugar and ALL sweet additives so that you train your taste buds to want less sweet things and to prefer savoury instead.
