        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2014 The rate of chronic disease and stress in Indonesia remains\nhigh. According to the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), more than\n19 million residents over the age of 15 experience mental health\ndisorders. Meanwhile, chronic diseases such as stroke, diabetes, and\nhypertension account for the majority of deaths in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Here are eight habits that can help maintain bodily health and reduce\nthe risk of chronic disease and stress, as reported by Fox News on\nThursday (9\/7\/2026):<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>Walking<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>US-based doctor Kenneth J. Perry said lifestyle changes mean many\npeople spend more time sitting in vehicles than walking to their\nworkplace, even though walking can support a person\u2019s health. Research\npublished in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that\nwalking time is associated with improvements in body mass index (BMI),\nwaist circumference, and overall metabolic health. The US Department of\nHealth and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes of\nmoderate-intensity aerobic activity per week (about 30 minutes a day),\nwhich includes brisk walking.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Getting morning sunlight<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Exposure to morning sunlight is known to help maintain the health of\nthe circadian rhythm, or the body\u2019s biological clock, and support sleep\nquality. Sunlight is also the body\u2019s main natural source of vitamin D.\nPerry said some people experience severe sleep difficulties, making it\nhard for their bodies to regulate the day and night cycle. \u201cIt is known\nthat morning sunlight helps regulate circadian rhythms in animals and\nmay help regulate sleep patterns,\u201d he said. According to him, sun\nexposure can also have a positive impact on health because the hormone\nbalance regulated by the circadian rhythm can aid weight management and\nblood pressure control.<\/p>",
