– Some important health tips entail more
than just seeking medical care in order to
eliminate life threatening diseases
– There are combinations of certain factors
that make up for having a quality lifestyle
Being healthy is being in a state of complete
physical, mental, spiritual and social well-
being, and not just the absence of disease
or infirmity.
Infirmity is also synonymous to disease, as it
is a state of being feeble, weak or mentally
down, basically as a result of advanced age.
A person who suffers from infirmity, should
know he has to battle it, possibly for the rest
of his life.
An example of infirmity is arthritis or
osteoporosis, which mostly affects old
people.
A healthy lady
As most people of the world believe in a
Supreme Being, the connection with this
Being, impacts either positively or negatively
on an individual’s health.
There are some things that people should do
in order to guarantee more than 70% sound
health.
1. Eating balanced diet
There is a common saying that, you are
what you eat. The quality and quantity of
food consumed by a person, especially his
breakfast, goes a long way in preparing him
for his daily activities.
Eating nutritious food helps to provide the
right nutrients for growth and development
of the tissues of the body. Likewise,
digestion occurs with ease. All other day-to-
day activities are done with diligence.
Hunger dehydrates the body fluid. Not eating
the proper combination of the six classes of
foods affect all metabolic activities in
someone. The brain will not function well
when someone is hungry.
Being well and properly fed is a strong
defense mechanism against diseases or
easily falling sick.
Some diseases like scurvy, dry tongue, sore
throat and their likes, are principally due to
lack of, or insufficient supply of certain
minerals and vitamins to the body.
A person who eats good food at the right
time will hardly fall sick.
2. Rest, sleep and exercise
Someone should not just believe eating only
nutritious foods will keep him kicking and
going. Staying healthy goes beyond that. The
trio of rest, sleep and exercise are major
contributors to the wellness spectrum.
Medical experts do advise that someone
should ensure he gets at least six hours of
sleep everyday.
Some working class people do hardly
exercise, due to their sedentary lifestyle.
Some start exercising when obesity sets in.
It is better to start all these before sickness
hits someone below the belt. Having a few
minutes of rest is also important.
3. Good relationship with our Creator
It could amaze some people the connection
between having better lifestyle and having a
nice relationship with the Creator. Looking at
the definition of health, the aspect of
spiritual life was mentioned, therefore, this is
really important.
A healthy man
This means a person, who devotes part of
his time to his Lord, and reflects on the
creatures living both on land and in water,
will develop a peaceful mind. A peaceful
mind in turn cuts down stress, which in turn
helps for longevity.
4. Socialising with humorous people and
highly intelligent/experienced individuals
The quality of friends a person keeps tells
on his health. A person who has drunkards
and party freaks, with reckless lifestyle could
die early. A person who has friends, who
drive cars at unimaginable high speed, could
be saying he is ready to die young.
Staying alone and mixing with people, who
ooze out animosity is not good for a
person’s health. Boredom and depression
are also license to early grave. However, a
person who keeps a company of friends,
who are lively and do things together will
always have tranquility of the mind.
5. Maintaining strong family ties
Having a good relationship with members of
someone’s family is related to the spiritual
aspect of health. There is a spiritual
connection between enjoining family ties and
long life. Science may want to dismiss this
claim. But simple experiments will prove
otherwise. A person who associate with his
family members will be healthier with sound
mind than a person who stays away from
them.
Likewise, family members do hold meetings
together and visit one another, as all these
are known as happiness booster.
