Introduction
Health is a precious resource and affects every aspect of human life – physically, mentally, and emotionally. Many people define health as simply the absence of disease; however, health is truly about the balance between physical health, mental health and lifestyle.
1. Healthy Eating
It is very important to eat a healthy diet. Eating vegetables, fruits, fish, legumes, and lean meats all support health. We should all also do our best to minimize excessive sugars, processed oils, and sugary drinks. A healthy diet contributes to health by improving our immune system, preventing a number of diseases, and increasing levels of physical energy and cognitive abilities throughout the day.
2. Regular Exercise
Exercise is one important component of living a healthy lifestyle. Everyone should be engaging in at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day (walking, light jogging, and some types of sports). Exercise helps with blood flow and circulation, blood pressure, and decreases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Exercise also builds self-esteem and can improve mental health.
3) Proper Sleep
Quality sleep is directly connected to mental and physical health. Adults should hopefully aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Lack of sleep can lead to a state of constant fatigue, depression, and impaired brain function. Children require even more sleep to grow properly. Sleep is healthy restorative time for the body to recover and heal from the stresses of daily living.
4) Adequate Water Intake
Water is essential for life. Consuming at least 8 glasses of water a day helps eliminate toxic waste from the body and improve digestion while keeping our skin moist. Adequate water intake can help maintain energy and support the body in doing its job. If active, or in a hot climate, additional fluids may be needed. Lack of adequate intake of water can lead to headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite, and other symptoms.
5) Positive Attitude and Stress
Health includes more than just our physical well-being; it also includes our mental well-being. The fast-paced world we live in creates a lot of stress and it is important to learn to deal with all that pressure. Be sure to spend time on yourself, connect with family and friends, and do things you enjoy, such as reading, praying, spending time taking a peaceful walk, enjoying a hobby, etc. Take breathing deep and calmly to calm anxiety.
6. Personal Hygiene
Hygiene is an essential component of an individual’s overall health. The consistent practice of handwashing, proper oral hygiene, bathing, and wearing clean clothes will prohibit the spread of many sicknesses. Being hygienically clean, your body feels alive, confident, and functional. Do not share personal items such as toothbrushes or towels that can spread germs.
