The lower average age (less than 65) of Pakistanis can be attributed to factors such as higher birth rates, limited access to healthcare in some regions, and prevalent infectious diseases. To adopt a healthier lifestyle in Pakistan, a multifaceted approach is needed. Promoting a balanced diet with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, along with improving access to clean water, enhancing health education, and encouraging preventive healthcare measures, are crucial. Additionally, promoting regular physical activity, stress management, and community engagement can contribute to a healthier population. Addressing these factors collectively can help raise life expectancy and improve overall well-being in Pakistan.
