hy lifestyle is not only about avoiding fatty
foods, cutting down on caffeine and taking up an expensive gym
membership. Health is not solely about the size of your body;
it’s about being happy within yourself, avoiding detrimental
situations and substances and taking care of yourself as a
whole. Ideally it would be a life long commitment but everyone
knows that temptation is inevitable and if being healthy means
being bored and deprived, then it’ll all go pear-shaped
quickly.
So, what to avoid and what to embrace are key questions.
Fundamentally, it should be obvious. Everything in moderation
is the best way to look at it. Yes, you can enjoy the pork
ribs, just not three times a week! You can party till the wee
hours of the morning on Friday night and aim for more
restorative activities Saturday night. Living a healthy
lifestyle is about balance. You know what’s good for you but
you want what feels good to you.
Exercise, a healthy diet and avoiding stress are the three most
important ways you can ensure you are living a healthy
lifestyle. Prevention is also a good thing to take on board.
Have regular checkups with your doctor and dentist. Go for your
pap smears/prostate checks, breast exams and any other
examinations that will help you to catch early any potential
hazards to your health.
Be aware of how much you enjoy your life, or not. If every day
seems like another reason to drag your feet then do something
about it. We’re a long time dead, live your life while you’re
here. Hate your job? Find alternative employment. Marriage
problems? Seek counselling. Sure, it’s not as simple as a two
or three word answer, but identifying what ails you and
rectifying it is the answer. Living a healthy lifestyle is up
to you and you alone.
