“Every single journey of our life starts with a healthy mind and a healthy journey”


Health Care:

Health is of paramount importance, but many people do not make eating well and exercising
a priority until their health deteriorates. It must live in a balanced state so that you can be at your optimal level in all aspects of your life.


“To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.” Buddha


Define Good Health:

“Good health is when I’m feeling well”, but in reality it has very little to do with having good health. There is a greater dimension to health than just feeling well.

There is so much more to being healthy than how you feel! The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of optimal physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity”. Webster’s Dictionary defines health as “a state of wholeness in which all organs are functioning 100%, 100% of the time”. Health is not just how you feel; it is how you are functioning. Thousands of Americans die of heart attacks each and every year, and the heart attack is the first sign of disease. You can’t wait until symptoms show up before you decide to act.


Types of Health:

Mental and physical health are probably the two most frequently discussed types of health.
Spiritual, emotional, and financial health also contribute to overall health. Medical experts have linked these to lower stress levels and improved mental and physical well-being.
People with better financial health, for example, may worry less about finances and have the means to buy fresh food more regularly. Those with good spiritual health may feel a sense of calm and purpose that fuels good mental health.

Physical health:

A person who has good physical health is likely to have bodily functions and processes working at their peak.
This is not only due not only to an absence of disease. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate rest all contribute to good health. People receive medical treatment to maintain the balance, when necessary.
Physical well-being involves pursuing a healthful lifestyle to decrease the risk of disease. Maintaining physical fitness, for example, can protect and develop the endurance of a person’s breathing and heart function, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition.
Looking after physical health and well-being also involves reducing the risk of an injury or health issue, such as:

  • minimizing hazards in the workplace
  • using contraception when having sexual intimate
  • practicing effective hygiene
  • avoiding the use of tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs
  • taking the recommended vaccines for a specific condition or country when traveling


Good physical health can work in tandem with mental health to improve a person’s overall quality of life.
For example, mental illness, such as depression, may increase the risk of drug use disorders. 

Mental health:

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, mental health refers to a person’s emotional, social, and psychological well-being. Mental health is as important as physical health as part of a full, active lifestyle.
It is harder to define mental health than physical health because many psychological diagnoses depend on an individual’s perception of their experience.
With improvements in testing, however, doctors are now able to identify some physical signs of some types of mental illness in CT scans and genetic tests.
Good mental health is not only categorized by the absence of depression, anxiety, or another disorder. It also depends on a person’s ability to:

  • enjoy life
  • bounce back after difficult experiences and adapt to adversity
  • balance different elements of life, such as family and finances
  • feel safe and secure
  • achieve their full potential

Physical and mental health have strong connections. For example, if a chronic illness affects a person’s ability to complete their regular tasks, it may lead to depression and stress. These feelings could be due to financial problems or mobility issues.
A mental illness, such as depression or anorexia, can affect body weight and overall function.
It is important to approach “health” as a whole, rather than as a series of separate factors. All types of health are linked, and people should aim for overall well-being and balance as the keys to good health.

Factors for good health:


Genetic factors:

A person is born with a variety of genes. In some people, an unusual genetic pattern or change can lead to a less-than-optimum level of health. People may inherit genes from their parents that increase their risk for certain health conditions.


Environmental factors:

Access to healthcare plays a role, but the WHO suggest that the following factors may have a more significant impact on health than this:
  • where a person lives
  • the state of the surrounding environment
  • genetics
  • their income
  • their level of education
  • employment status 
It is possible to categorize these as follows:
  • The social and economic environment: This may include the financial status of a family or community, as well as the social culture and quality of relationships.
  • The physical environment: This includes which germs exist in an area, as well as pollution levels.
  • A person’s characteristics and behaviors: A person’s genetic makeup and lifestyle choices can affect their overall health.

Preserving health:

The best way to maintain health is to preserve it through a healthful lifestyle rather than waiting until sickness or infirmity to address health problems. People use the name wellness to describe this continuous state of enhanced well-being.

The WHO define wellness as follows:

“Wellness is the optimal state of health of individuals and groups. There are two focal concerns: the realization of the fullest potential of an individual physically, psychologically, socially, spiritually, and economically, and the fulfillment of one’s roles and expectations in the family, community, place of worship, and other settings.”

Steps that can help people attain wellness include:
  • eating a balanced, nutritious diet from as many natural sources as possible
  • engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate to high-intensity exercise every week
  • screening for diseases that may present a risk
  • learning to manage stress effectively
  • engaging in activities that provide purpose
  • connecting with and caring for other people
  • maintaining a positive outlook on life
  • defining a value system and putting it into action.

Fitness:


Fitness, defending, the mental stuff - those were all weaknesses of mine. And I turned those into strengths.

Walking, lifting weights, doing chores – it’s all good. Regardless of what you do, regular exercise and physical activity is the path to health and well-being. Exercise burns fat, builds muscle, lowers cholesterol, eases stress and anxiety, lets us sleep restfully. In this guide, we match resources to your exercise needs -- at every fitness level.

Exercise Benefits:


Exercise for a Healthy Heart:

Heart is a muscle, and it gets stronger and healthier if you lead an active life. It's never too late to start exercising, and you don't have to be an athlete. Even taking a brisk walk for 30 minutes a day can make a big difference.

Regular exercise can help you:
  • Burn calories
  • Lower your blood pressure
  • Reduce LDL "bad" cholesterol
  • Boost your HDL "good" cholesterol.



Types of Exercise:

i. Aerobic exercise ("cardio"): Running, jogging, and biking are some examples. You're moving fast enough to raise your heart rate and breathe harder, but you should still be able to talk to someone while you're doing it. Otherwise, you are pushing too hard. If you have joint problems, choose a low-impact activity, like swimming or walking.

ii. Stretching: You'll become more flexible if you do this a couple of times a week. Stretch after you've warmed up or finished exercising. Stretch gently -- it shouldn't hurt.

iii. Strength training. You can use weights, resistance bands, or your own body weight (yoga, for instance) for this. Do it 2-3 times a week. Let your muscles recover for a day between sessions.
