Wealth is a combination of
having enough money for one’s needs, the ability to enjoy that money, be an
active contributor to society that society would look up to, be able to have
and sustain a meaningful network of friends and family that contributed to
wholesome experiences…etc. It was about the ability of a person to function as
a happy, effective individual, who was able to make most decisions out of a
sense of freedom, rather than compulsion.
Health was seen as the primary
driver that helped create such a world for oneself. Money means nothing when it doesn’t afford you the time and means
to spend it on yourself and your loved ones. Staying healthy therefore becomes
a necessity.
When we are ill or we do not want to play or work, our bad health robs us of
sound sleep and appetite. Life becomes a burden for one, who is constantly
ailing. Life has little charm for him. He feels tired of life, always
complaining about one thing or the other.
Wealth is the ability
to know what your purpose in life is, ability to have meaningful relationships
with those around you, ability to solve problems that come your way, being fed
and having shelter, being grateful for all that you have in life, having
enough money to get by, and when you are healthy, you get to have more joy
in your life, you can experience new things and you can grow, that is why
health is wealth.
Health is a wealth in and of itself, you have a human body, it carries you
everywhere and you interact with people with it, right? So, if you take care of
your body, then experiencing things such as sex, driving, eating and all other
fun things become more enjoyable.
If you don’t take care of yourself, then stress and other diseases make
simple things unbearable.
Listed below are some important tips on
how to stay healthy;
TIPS FOR HEALTHY LIVING:
- Breakfast Is A Must
Never
skip breakfast, our metabolic rate decreases leading to weight gain and
digestion problems. Breakfast increases concentration, helps us focus better
and controls weight.
- Apply Caution To The Food
Avoid
unhealthy food that is high in calories. They gradually take a toll on your
health leading to weight gain, heart diseases and cholesterol. Eat seasonal
fruits that are rich in fibers, vitamins and proteins. Nobody asks you ban
those delicious desserts all together at every beginning. But a little
moderation at the beginning can ensure that you never reach the stage where you
can’t have it anymore. Make it a point to eat healthy stay healthy.
- Avoid Mindless Eating
You are
hungry, you eat. You are bored, you eat. You are angry, you eat. And you are
lazy to do your chores, you eat again. Unless otherwise you have plans of
getting shifted to a hospital permanently, DON’T do this. Eat when you are hungry as simple as that. Your stomach isn’t a dump-yard in
which you can allow your emotional appetite to dispose its junk cravings. Eat
only when you are hungry make sure to take healthy food you only. Eating just because food is there stacked inside the fridge, and
that too being completely oblivious of what you are eating, can be dangerous.
- Washing your hands
Hand
sanitizer's were invented for a reason. If your hands are dirty, you clean
them. But after that you STOP. You have to continually wash your hands
regularly and repeatedly. Research says that limited germ exposure is actually
good as it builds immunity and an overly sterile environment is not good at
all.
- Check The Nutrition Labels
Even I
know what nutritional labels are. No big deal. But what most of us don’t know
is to read them whenever we buy anything edible. All we do is fill the trolley
with whatever that comes to our hand. Just like we have the evergreen habit of
avoiding them, nutritional labels have the evergreen habit of telling us what
the food contains. And mind you. They are ruthlessly honest, they give us a
clear picture about how good those ‘natural’ or ‘low fat’ foods we get
attracted to are.
- Balanced Diet
Incorporating
proteins, minerals, iron, vitamins, calcium, carbs and fat
(good fat) in your daily diet is very necessary. Fruits, vegetables, lean meat,
poultry, milk, whole grain foods make a balanced diet.
- Late Night Meals
Having
meals on time is as important as having
a healthy meal. Having
meals at-least a couple of hours before you hit the bed prevent obesity and
other severe health complications. Also, late night snacking might result in
indigestion which interferes with your sleep.
- Avoid Pessimistic Thinking
This, by
far, is the most poisonous drug ever known to humanity. The irony is that it is
self-induced. And the misfortune is that the person who is thinking negative
doesn’t know they are doing so. We are so habituated to destructive thinking
patterns that rarely we realize what we are doing to ourselves. Developing an
optimistic attitude can alter your life in amazing ways. Most of the things
around aren’t as bad as they seem to be. It is just your mind playing the dirty
trick.
- Exercise
Exercise
is a must, workouts; aerobics, walking or jogging regulates heart rate giving
you more energy to work hard through the day. Exercise early in the morning
won’t make you feel lazy in the day. It improves blood circulation and releases
muscle tension giving you a stronger body and mind. Exercise is an effective
way to boost your health and keep your energy flowing at optimum levels. Most
people give preference to lame excuses than to regular exercise. Don’t wait
till you have the necessary equipment or till you join a gym. Exercise routines
as simple as pushups or crunches (which can be performed at home) can go a
great way in building health. A study has shown that individuals who never did
any exercise lost about seven years of life compared to the ones who did. Now,
that isn’t a wise bargain, is it?
- Don’t Sit Continuously For Long
Hours
Whether
it is at your home, office or any other place, continuously sitting in one
place is not a trivial issue to be ignored. Sitting for long hours without any
movement slows metabolism and weakens muscles. Make sure you get up and move
around for every couple of hours. Stretch your muscles from time to time. Early
to bed and early to rise is always the best way to stay healthy.
- Practice Yoga
Yoga
helps in overall mind and body development. It is a two-in-one medium to keep
you healthy both mentally and physically.
- Avoid Smoking
Smoking
ruins your health, sooner or later. Cancer, lung diseases and heart problems
all result because of smoking.
- Control Your Drinks
Alcohol
may relax you after a hard day’s work, but it also reduces the number of white
blood cells (W.B.C.)fights germs thereby indirectly weakens the immunity
system.
- Use Less Salt
Reduce
the salt intake in your diet, as it may lead to strokes and heart diseases in
future.
- Have Lots Of Fluid
Drink at
least 8-9 glasses of water every day. It not only flushes your system but also
keeps your skin good and healthy.
- Proper Sleep
Get a
minimum 8 hours sleep because it relaxes your mind and keeps you healthy. The
human body is a machine. And just like any machine requires rest and
recharging, our bodies also need sufficient amounts of sleep. Most of us,
burdened by the monotony of work, tend to sleep less and focus more on our
tasks. But the thing is, you can’t really focus if you haven’t had a good
night’s sleep. Adequate sleep increases our productivity levels and helps us in
getting our tasks done faster. So the next time you plan to skip your sleep in
order to complete that important assignment or get done with a crucial task,
give it a second thought. You might be giving away too much for too little.
