Yes it health…. That all we want. But we need to think in
different ways that can keep us healthy. Yes when I say health you may think
only about physical health only, No that’s totally wrong. We must think of
mental, social & spiritual health too.
Now, will move to search four kinds of health areas.
Physical health
Physical health is defined as is the condition of your body.
Good physical health is when your body is functioning as it was designed to
function.
What can I do?
We need to take care of every piece of our being in order to
achieve good physical health. Positive emotions are linked to better physical
health. We must try to keep a balance in our lives. Some things that we can do
to take care of our physical bodies include:
- Rest. Our
body needs a certain amount of hours of sleep every night
- Eat
healthy food. Our bodies use food as fuel. We must remember to eat regularly
- Exercise.
Our bodies were designed to be physically active.
- Hygiene.
It is important that we keep our bodies clean.
- Do not
smoke, abuse alcohol, or abuse drugs.
Mental health
Mental health contains our emotional, psychological, and
social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act as we cope with life.
It also helps settle on how we handle stress, relate to others, and make
choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and
adolescence through adulthood.
Mental illnesses are serious disorders which can influence
your thinking, mood, and behavior. There are many causes of mental disorders.
Your genes and family history may play a role. Your life experiences, such as
stress or a history of abuse, may also matter. Biological factors can also be
part of the cause. Mental disorders are common, but treatments are available.
Social health
Your social health is your ability to create and maintain
healthy and boom relationships with other people. Healthy relationships are
based on respect, mutual trust and equality.
You are socially well when you have a network of friends and
family on whom you can rely for support, and for sharing of life experiences.
Having healthy social relationships can help you prevent and even overcome
disease and illness.
Spiritual health
Spiritual Wellness is a personal matter involving values and
viewpoint that provide a purpose in our lives. While different individuals may
have different views of what spiritualism is, it is generally considered to be
the search for meaning and purpose in human existence, leading one to strive
for a state of harmony with oneself and others while working to balance inner
needs with the rest of the world. The National Wellness Institute says
spiritual wellness follows the following tenets:
It is
better to consider the meaning of life for ourselves and to be understanding of
the beliefs of others than to close our minds and become narrow-minded.
