why daily health matters & what you can do about it (the easy way)

Though, in our fast paced lifestyle, we may not acknowledge it, daily health is the foundation of a active and fulfilling life. 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. Maintaining daily health requires a conscious effort and a commitment to small habits, that may seem inconsequential at the first instance but leave its imprints over the long term.

importance of daily health

Enhanced quality of life allows us to enjoy life to the fullest, pursue our passions, and make meaningful contributions to society as a human being. Maintaining good health throughout life can extend our lifespan and allow us to age gracefully.

Healthy individuals have more energy, focus, and clarity, leading to improved performance at work or in personal endeavours.

The absence of chronic diseases in the body by preventing them at an earlier age, managing healthy habits effectively can significantly reduce healthcare expenses at an older age where wealth is a scarcity.
