Tips for well-being – A health blog

I have been telling you that eat fresh every time. This is because the nutrition that your body gets from fresh fruits, vegetables or cooked food is unmatched.

Similarly, instead of drinking packed juices, go for a fresh fruit juice or shake. It is healthy and satisfies your appetite too. Though the pack says that the juice is ‘fresh’ think about the fact that how can it stay fresh for about three months? The manufacturers have to add some preservatives for increasing the life of the juice.

So go for freshly made food products. You will become healthier and happier!

Teenage girls are wowed by looking at the skinny size-zero models strutting down the ramp and wish to be like them. They stop eating ‘high-calorie’ food and depend on salads and other so-called ‘diet’ food to achieve that model look! I know of many normal-weight girls who are hell-bent on reducing further weight.

They are so enchanted about being thinner that they end up losing weight in a wrong way and this affects their entire health. Such people are called anorexic. So if ever you feel you have to lose weight, consult a weight-loss consultant. Who knows, she might feel that you have the perfect body weight!

I am not saying that one should simply dispose of the leftovers and waste food. Do not eat food that is more than a day old as it is difficult to digest and has lost most of its nutritional value.

Though it seems convenient to do the cooking on weekends, it is not good for health. You can save time for cooking on weekdays by doing the chopping and cutting on the weekend. It is always better to spend some time cooking fresh food without being lazy than consuming medicines later for indigestion!

Tell me what you think about it!

Positive thinking is also very important in the health of an individual. This is because when one takes a positive approach to life, he does get worried and does not also develop anxiety over some life issues. Worry and anxiety are just like stress, do a lot of harm to the body. These two can make one to develop stomach ulcers which interfere with one’s eating patterns. When one does not eat regularly he has health problems. They also make one not to sleep well as he is constantly thinking about the future. Positive thinking helps one to maintain a balanced mind which is very important in the observation of daily health routines.

Stress and depression are not good for body health. Stress hinders good body health in several ways;
When an individual is stressed, he can not concentrate on life issues properly. Stress makes it difficult for him to observe proper eating habits and exposing his body to dangers of malnutrition. It also makes an individual not to get enough sleep. This makes the body cells not to function well and hence poor health. Stress also interferes with the proper functioning of the body organs the heart and the digestive system involved. These organs are very important and, therefore, when they are interfered, it becomes difficult for the body to have good health owing to the roles they play in body health. One should avoid stress by all means.

Water helps proper body health. Water has several functions in the body. Firstly, it helps in the digestion of food during the digestion process. When water is not enough, food digestion becomes a problem and one finds that he is not getting proper ingredients in the body and hence bad health. Secondly, water helps in the perspiration process where the body wastes are removed from the body. For the skin to remove sweat it needs water, for one to urinate water facilitates the process and therefore it is important that one takes a lot of water so that he can remove waste from the body and avoid dirt accumulation which causes diseases hence poor helath.

Taking a regular shower is very important for good health. This especially helps the skin. The skin is a very important respiratory organ as helps remove some dirt from the body through sweat. As the skin perspirates, some dirt gets clogged in the skin pores blocking them. This prevents the skin from carrying out its functions well. If some waste is not removed from the body, it does no good to the body. All it does is to poison the body cells. This prevents proper health and can cause cell diseases apart from the skin diseases caused by lack of taking a good shower.

Sleep is very important in anybody’s health life. Sleep just like food is very important for the growth of the body. Sleep helps the body to rest so that the brain can organize itself and coordinate other body parts properly. When one sleeps, he gives the body a time off so that it can replace the worn out cells that were spent during the daily hustle. It should be noted that one should also sleep on good beddings so that any disturbance can be avoided during sleeping time and even proper sleeping position is very important. Sleep also takes away the fatigue accumulated during the day.

Some body deformities do come about as a result of sitting in poor positions. Poor sitting positions can contribute to deformed physiques which may impair with the proper working of other body parts. Therefore, one should find a seat which is not bending and is as well comfortable. This will reduce unnecessary deformities to the body.
Also, one should wear shoes which are in good condition and that fit him comfortably, if one wears shoes that do not fit him comfortably; he increases the chances of getting hut and even contracting germs like those of tetanus. Also, it reduces the chances of one getting minor injuries incase he is running.

There is a very powerful link between genetics and health. Therefore it is always good that parents identify the genetic diseases they carry and try to prevent their kids from suffering from the same by going for early medical prescriptions from doctors. The fact that one’s parents died young does not mean that an individual should follow suit. Actually one can take control of his own destiny, because with current technology one can counteract the genetic pool handed to him.
It is said that ignorance is no defense and diseases suffered as a result of being genetic, one can not defend himself against the accusation. Stay enlightened and prevent your generation from demise.
