: A healthy lifestyle is considered one of the most important determinants of human health and well-being. According to the World Health Organization, lifestyle factors account for nearly half of the determinants influencing individual health. The purpose of this study is to analyze the contradictions that arise in the development and promotion of a healthy lifestyle in modern society. The research employs analytical, comparative, and theoretical methods to examine the relationship between lifestyle, culture, and public health. The results show that despite the growing recognition of the importance of healthy lifestyles, various social, economic, and cultural factors hinder their effective implementation. Commercialization of healthcare, consumer culture, and the persistence of unhealthy habits create contradictions that complicate efforts to promote health-oriented behaviors. The study concludes that the development of a healthy lifestyle requires a comprehensive approach involving state policy, educational initiatives, and individual responsibility.
