Life has full of meaning. Adding to life a healthy lifestyle is what actually confirms a complete sense.
Have you ever wondered what "living a healthy lifestyle" actually means? Do you ever feel that there are unrealistic standards related to improving your health - or just downright confusion about how to improve your health?
Lifestyle:
Definition: a manner of living that reflects the person's values and attitudes. It's how you live your life, reflecting the choices and decisions you make.
Let us see what World Health Organisation (WHO) defines health:'
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
Probably health is not simply defined as just the absence of disease. The actual definition of Healthy Living is the steps, actions and strategies one puts in place to achieve optimum health. Healthy Living is about taking responsibility and making smart health choices for today and for the future. Eating right, getting physically fit, emotional wellness, spiritual wellness and prevention are all apart of creating a healthy lifestyle. Since the entire YOU, meaning all aspects of one’s self, must work in harmony to achieve wellness, you need to put balanced energy into each aspect of yourself.
Now let us know the meaning of Healthy:
Having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease
To be healthy and happy life one must be healthy in below three categories of self:
1. Physical body of oneself requires good nutrition, appropriate weight, beneficial exercise, adequate rest and proper stress management.
2. The mind or Emotional, needs self-supportive attitudes, positive thoughts and viewpoints and a positive self-image. You also need to give and receive forgiveness, love and compassion; you need to laugh and experience happiness; you need joyful relationships with yourself and others.
3. The spiritual of oneself requires inner calmness, openness to your creativity, and trust in your inner knowing. And for some it requires having a relationship with a higher power.
We all know when the Physical You is out of balance. Our body tells us right away. We feel fatigue or catch a cold or maybe become chronically ill. But how do we know when the Emotional You or Spiritual You are out of balance?
