“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot
manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence
cannot be applied.” ― Herophilus
WHO defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Most people presume that being healthy means optimum functioning of the four components which are cardio respiratory ability, muscular ability, flexibility, and body composition. Although these components are a critical part of being healthy but they are not the only contributing factors.
Physical health is only one aspect of our overall health. The other components of health such as social health, mental health, emotional health and spiritual health are just as important as physical fitness.
Our lifestyle plays an important role in our well being. As our way of living changes, so does our level of health. But even the person with the busiest schedule should make room for few physical activities such as stretching, walking etc. Those of us who participate in regular physical activity do so to improve the current and future level of our fitness. As our everyday life improves, our health also advances resulting in a healthy wealthy and wise lifestyle. We strive toward an optimal state of well-being.
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” – Hippocrates, the great physician.
Having a healthy diet does not mean depriving yourself of food or being really strict about what you eat, but it means understanding the right foods that help you stay healthy and give you the nutrients that are beneficial for your body.
For example, consume enough calories, include variety in your diet, eat moderate portions, eat fruits and vegetables, drink more water, limit sugar, exercise and establish good food habits.
Remember, a healthy lifestyle is as essential as the oxygen that you breathe. Take this before it gets late.
