Principles of Healthy Living

Way back in 1946, there was a statement made by the World Health Organization "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Now, everybody has the right to a healthy living lifestyle; a life free of diseases, illnesses and infirmities. And disease, illnesses etc. are directly caused by the violation of the principles of healthy living.  Most diseases are lifestyle related and most of them can be prevented by following some of the basic principles of healthy living. Easily available and doesn't cost much. Air : It is a free blessing from heaven. We can live for about three weeks without food, three days without water but hardly three minutes without air. It is calculated to electrify the whole system of our bodies. Rest : All mammals require rest for their bodies to function normally and efficiently during the daytime.  Even God needed rest. Exercise : Every muscle in our body requires exercise or it will go into disuse and then degenerate into uselessness. If there is anything that reduces blood sugar it is walking. The benefits of waking can only be experienced if you practice it. Walking gives all round health. It is well known that exercise burns calories and burning calories makes you lose weight. For healthy living you have to lose a lot of calories. If you are overweight, exercise will help you achieve your ideal weight.

In today's world a vegetarian diet is the best and safest diet. That water is essential to life can be seen by the simple fact that the human body is about 60% water in males and 55% in females. Lean muscle tissue contains 75% water by weight; blood 95%; body fat 14% and even bone contains 22% water. Every day we lose about 2.5 liters of water which must be replenished to prevent dehydration. Water acts as a solvent, a temperature regulator, a lubricant and a means of transportation in the body.

Bathing is another activity that is required for a healthy living. A healthy skin in itself leads to a healthy body. Temperance in diet is rewarded with mental, physical and moral vigor. Trust : Worrying about our present conditions, nowadays we do not worry about the conditions of others, and worrying about our future leads to an intemperate lifestyle and not healthy living. This in turn leads to stress and stress in turn leads to cardiovascular diseases, cancers, lowered immunity and psychiatric problems. Among possible physiological mechanisms, stress may induce hypersecretion, reduce acid buffering in the digestive tracts and the stomach, impair gastroduodenal blood flow and affect healing and inflammation. Trust alienates worries; trust in others and more importantly trust in God.

Simply by following the above principles of healthy living we can lead a healthy lifestyle free from most of the diseases and illnesses that we experience these days. We can lead a normal life mentally, physically, spiritually and socially. Now is the time to choose to become more disciplined and to move through your comments to better health or disease management. Healthy living for a healthy future is an investment you can't afford not to make.

It's time to use YOUR mind over YOUR matter!!! Let your Soul's energy direct your Spirit's housing! As a medical intuitive and distant energy healer, I deal with alternative emergency medicine cases, sports medicine injuries and lots of disorders and disease in day-to-day life. Each presents is own health circumstances to overcome. Addressing physical problems and determining the underlying emotional and mental contributions that direct the body to manifest the disease or life issues is one set of problems, having acquired health conditions is another. Sometimes a client's current "mind set", lack of knowledge, or lack of "get up and go", sabotages their personal welfare and puts their life and health at risk, or on hold.

Then came personal trainers, and now it's a health coach, life coach or life purpose coach. All of these health care professionals are trained to help individuals take charge of their health. Today it's a holistic (mind, body, and spirit) approach to wellness ie improving existing health conditions, life issues and your personal routine. This broader approach to coaching creates and promotes a healthier life and lifestyle and hopefully prevents and keeps future health and life issues at bay.

A well-planned healthy life management program is complementary to and integrative with your physician's treatment and regime. It saves employee 'sick days", and the employer's large insurance costs.

By choosing and living positive attitudes and health behaviors, you maximize the health benefits of your goals, and you create lifestyle patterns that support and encourage well-being.

When speaking about fitness and healthy living, most men usually think of the stereotyped image of a guy eating a balanced diet, going to the gym regularly, and engaging into sports activities. For, there are other aspects of a man's life that directly or indirectly influence his health. No wonder, fitness and healthy living is a must for every man.

If you're a father, you may be wondering how that role affects your over all fitness and healthy living. Is fatherhood doing good or bad things to men's health?

Generally, fatherhood creates positive changes to the entire male health. Of course, this does not mean that single men aren't as equally healthy as married men. The responsibility of being a father always changes the lifestyle of men. They no longer work nor live for their wife, but for their entire family. Moreover, their desire to watch and be with their children as they grow will inspire them to maintain their health and live longer. Hence, they'll find more reasons to eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, drive carefully, and visit their physician regularly. It goes without saying that fitness and healthy living is still maintained when a man becomes a father.
