The study of the factors of a healthy lifestyle is of particular importance in the conditions of the modern information society, which largely determines the decline in the health of the younger generation. The article provides an analysis of such factors, both in the historical and philosophical terms, and from modern positions. It is claimed that since time immemorial, it has been known that the physical state of the body affects the psychophysical health of a person. The same observation underlies many religious prescriptions concerning the choice of food and drink, fasting, and carnal abstinence. On this occasion, the French philosopher B. Pascal wrote that if the next generation of people did not add anything new to the knowledge and experience of previous generations, no progress in life, in the Sciences would be simply impossible. He also believed that man least of all knows and understands himself, the meaning of his life, his true right, the fundamental conditions of his being. The modern information society exacerbates the problems of health preservation many times.
