In today’s fast paced world, with other priorities taking over our lives, health as a priority has taken a back seat, both on an individual level and on the family and societal levels, shaking the very foundations of the age old belief that…

“Health Is the real Wealth”

The small choices that we make daily, whether it is the type of food that we eat, when we eat the food, how much we exercise (or don’t) our bodies, the levels of stress at the workplace and the way we manage the stress, the way we use technology, shape not only our own lives as an individual, but are also influencing the habits and the state of health of those around us, without we even realizing it.
The World Health Organization (WHO), in its definition of a healthy lifestyle mentions that that is not only the absence of disease, that constitutes a healthy lifestyle, but comprises of an overall healthy state of physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Research by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the Health Benefits of Good Nutrition shows that the only way to managing individual and family health, is the development of consistent, small changes in daily routines, the long term benefits of which include higher energy levels, better levels of mental health, reduced risk of chronic diseases in the body, and emotional resilience, among others.

The ripple effect of laying the right foundation

As an individual, adopting the right healthy habits lays the foundation for not only a healthy family, but also a healthy society, as the future generations tend to grow up as healthy individuals, both in body, mind and spirit.
Contrary, to common beliefs, managing a healthy lifestyle goes beyond just fitness or diet, it’s more about managing the intricate balance among the various factors that affect the daily lifestyle, that include:

the right levels of nutrition

Feeding the body with the right types of quality, nourishing foods, keeps the systems in running order, just like a well-oiled machine delivers maximum output, even when it is old.
Choosing the right foods to eat fuels our bodies with the right nutrients that are needed for maintaining the energy and vitality levels in the body. When we prioritize physical health, and the right food choices, we not only keep weight gain at bay, but also reduce the risk of chronic diseases in the body.

the importance of physical health

As part of a healthy lifestyle, physical exercise has always been considered as a waste of time, all thanks to the modern day priorities that are considered more important.
In reality, exercise levels for the body are like oxygen for the muscles and the bones, which form the external structure of the body. The external structure of the body starts deteriorating faster, once the body starts aging as part of the natural aging process, if not kept in proper shape at the right time.
Incorporating regular physical activity into daily life not only increases the longevity, at the same time reduces the risk of obesity and other chronic related diseases, when combined with other healthy lifestyle habits.
For example, making the choice of walking short short distances or taking up regular sessions at the gym helps repair and strengthen our muscles and improves cardiovascular health, particularly once the body starts aging through its natural cycle.
Every small action that we take during the day, can create a ripple effect in our lives, without us even knowing it. Whether it is opting for healthy snacking choices, instead of the pack of chips, or dedicating a few minutes to prayer or meditation daily can significantly influence our overall health, at the same time, impact the family’s health also, both physically and mentally.

why mental health matters

Mental health has often been underrated as part of healthy lifestyle management. Stress management techniques like deep breathing, practicing mindfulness, and focusing on emotional health also enhances the longevity levels of the body.
Simple things such as paying attention to our breathing pattern, practising yoga or meditation as part of our daily routing can significantly reduce stress and anxiety levels in the body, that are directly connented to the blood pressure levels in the body.
The ripple effect of managing blood pressure levels is felt on the functioning of the heart. When we care for and balance our bodies physical health, our minds follow suit, leading to improved focus, better mood, and enhanced resilience against life’s challenges, as both mind and body are connected.
By connecting with our bodies and our minds, we cultivate a sense of happiness and satisfaction that helps stabilize our minds. This emotional stability allows us to navigate relationships and navigate life’s challenges in a more effective manner, as challenges may both be physical or mental.

small is in reality big: the power of community

Building a healthy community starts with building healthy habits for the self, then the family and then the community together that leads to a healthy society.
When we choose healthy habits or prioritize health over other lifestyle factors, we’re not just improving our own quality of life, what we’re creating is a ripple effect that benefits everyone around us, whether they’re family, friends, or neighbours.
Managing daily health matters because every choice counts, and every day opens up new opportunities to build a healthier, happier you and stronger family values that are passed on to the newer generations, creating a healthy world at large.
Life is not always about perfection, but rather about making the commitment and fulfilling the same, no matter how small, whether taking the time to express a moment of gratitude, or a 10 minute walk, consistently practising these small things that make a big difference is what adds up to the results in the long term.
Creating a set healthy habits doesn’t have to be overwhelming, as it seems to be projected. Starting with small, manageable changes, on a day to basis, like replacing one cup of coffee with an extra glass or two of water, or taking a short walk during lunch breaks.
These minor adjustments can lead to significant transformations over time, by reducing the numbers on the scale, wihtout having to sweat it out at the gym or starving on a diet plan by compromising on your favourte foods.
