Health : the state of being free f rom illness or injury , describing a person's mental or physical condition Style : a particular procedure by which something is done ; a manner or way Lifestyle : the way in which a person live
Being Healthy is a priority for every living human , to have a normal easy going life this is a well known fact , but … do people work for being healthy ?! , do people adapt themselves to a healthy style ?! , do people obligate themselves to follow a healthy life style ?!
The overall health of the community is a priority for the governments all over the world Do the governments makes laws and regulations that guarantee or help the communities and the people to be healthy ?! Do the non-governmental organizations take there complementary role with the governmental organizations ?! Are the safety and health roles are applied in occupational working places ?!
Being healthy is multi-factorial issue .. - the main burden is upon the person or the human himself - family , community and governmental and non-governmental organizations are all having important roles in guaranteeing the health of the people or a single human
The human should maintain a healthy lifestyle in order be always healthy and living well
Components of healthy lifestyle # A healthy lifestyle is mostly associated with: Good diet Physical exercise Good sleeping pattern Personal hygiene No bad habits or addiction
Health education Safe environment Physical fitness Love through social support and healthy relationships Emotions Active social life
D iet Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthful A proper nutrition requires a proper ingestion and, also important, the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and food energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats
Dietary habits and choices play a significant role in health and mortality, and can also define cultures and play a role in religion. Some people will also do fasting - they will not eat anything for some time to lose weight, balance their diet and clean their bodies
Health agencies recommend that people maintain a normal weight by limiting consumption of energy-dense foods and sugary drinks, eating plant-based food, limiting consumption of red and processed meat, and limiting alcohol intake
Physical excercises Repeatedly moving the human body to make it stronger or better at doing something . People do physical exercises as a part of their healthy lifestyle to get stronger and healthier or stay strong and healthy or to improve their body image.
# There are three basic modes of physical exercises: (Flexibility) exercises : help the human body in general or its part in particular to be able to reach farther and bend better. (Aerobic) exercises : help the body work hard for a long time. (Anaerobic) exercises : like lifting weights, make the arms and legs stronger.
In order to get the best benefits from the physical exercising the person should commit himself to practice regularly even its not fun , should eat well so the body get enough energy and should also sleep well so the body get enough rest to be built
regular exercise has been shown to help high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and depression, among others. Exercise also helps people feel less tired
Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps sleep better, and boosts overall mood. Studies show that exercise can treat mild to moderate depression as effectively as antidepressant medication but without the side-effects
Sleeping well Sleep is a state of resting During deep sleep, most of the muscles that animals can otherwise control are not active, but regain the energy for the next time they wake up
Sleep is extremely important to human health and well-being Humans and animals need sleep in order for their bodies to be prepared for the next day. Everyday activities, one’s appearance, and how one expresses oneself all rely on this necessity
If one is tired (from not getting enough sleep), one will not be able to function properly in common activities. Being sleep-deprived leads to struggling to remember information, altering one’s mood, energy, health, focus and a number of other effects
Sleep deprivation (not allowing a person enough sleep) can even be used as torture. Also, the immune system releases compounds known as cytokines which are used to help fight inflammation and infection.
If a person does not receive enough sleep, they will not have enough cytokines to protect them from getting sick. The body may not have time to complete memory recollection, muscle repair, and release hormones that regulate growth and appetite.
Nap : sleep for a short time in the early afternoon for a quick rest A successful nap should run between 15-30 minutes, and longer naps taking 30-60 minutes will result in feeling dazed and less attentive
According to national sleep foundations and researches : there are different amounts of sleep that are recommended : - Toddlers (4 to 12 months ) : 12 to 16 hours (w/ naps) - Toddlers (1-2 years ) : 11 to 14 hours (w/ naps) - Preschoolers (3-5 years ) : 10 to 13 hours (w/ naps) - Grade Schoolers (6 to 12 years ) : 9 to 12 hours - Teenagers(13-18 years ) : 8 to 10 hours - Adults (including old age ) : 7 to 9 hours
# For better sleeping hygiene : get to sleep quick and early avoid extreme emotion in the hours before sleep try to get up at the same time every day (sticking to a routine) sleep in a cool, quiet and very dark place with the right mattress, lighting, blanket, pillow and temperature .
avoid bright light the last hour before bedtime. Eat dinner at least 3 hours before bedtime so the digestive system has time to break it down. avoid a big meal just before bedtime get enough exercise every day sleep in varying positions. However, avoid sleeping on the stomach as it starts to flatten the curve of the spine, which can lead to severe lower back pains
H ygiene Hygiene is the act of being clean Washing body to remove the dirt and germs, brushing the teeth to keep them clean, shaving, using the toilet properly, and dressing correctly are some examples
Proper hygiene is often taught to children at a young age, and it becomes a habit. People who do not have good hygiene might smell bad, lose teeth, or become ill (sick) and may have health proplems
Good hygiene is an important part of healthy lifestyle
Physical fitness Physical fitness is the ability to be physically active, to move and respond to the environment. People can take various tests to measure their physical performance. Such tests are necessary for some occupations, such as soldiers and firefighters.
# Physical fitness has two components: (general fitness ) : a state of health and well-being (specific fitness) : the ability to perform specific aspects of sports or occupations
According to The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports — a study group sponsored by the United States Government
Health-related components : those factors that are related to how well the systems of your bodywork. Body composition is the relative percentage of body fat compared to lean body mass (muscle, bone, water, etc) Cardiovascular fitness : the ability of the circulatory system (heart and blood vessels) to supply oxygen to working muscles during exercise. Flexibility : the range of movement possible at various joints.
Emotions and psychological health Emotions are what we feel Emotions are caused by a complex mixture of hormones and the unconscious mind. Only with great difficulty can we control our emotions by conscious effort. They cause mammals to change behaviour according to changes in their situation.
A scientific definition is not simple; over 90 definitions have been offered by experts. A definition of emotion needs to includes three things : conscious experience (feelings) expressions which can be seen by others actions of the body ('physiological arousal')
emotions involve body systems which have operated for hundreds of millions of years. These are the hormone system, the autonomic nervous system and the 'lower' brain centres (hindbrain and midbrain)
questions like "how are you doing?" or "how is your mood?" capture the essence of psychological health, psychologists have found that it actually involves two separate issues. There is an upside and a downside, both of which need to be considered
It is also important to know that psychological health is an issue quite different from mental or emotional disorder. The research on well-being concerns itself with the feelings of normal individuals and subjects from the general population
When we talk about psychological health, we are referring to how ordinary people are doing in life. In other words, if you are feeling distressed, that doesn't necessarily mean that you are mentally ill
Ordinary life often presents the individual with extraordinary challenges, complexities, setbacks and hardships . Psychological health concerns itself with how you cope, how you are doing in response, and whether you find life to be interesting and enjoyable. Although life is better when we are feeling good, there is no avoiding the fact that there will be ups and downs
Mental health should be maintained , and the person should take care of his mental health and avoid any problems or circumstances that could affect his health nigatively
Ten tips to stay mentally and psychologically healthy 1. Take care of your physical health 2. Get fresh air and exposure to sunlight 3. Take care of yourself at first 4. Spend time with people whose company you enjoy and get avail 5. Pursue a hobby, or a new activity
6. Manage your stress 7. Identify your strengths, weaknesses, and boundaries 8. Practice gratitude 9. Express yourself 10. Ask for help when you feel overwhelmed
Active social life A person’s social life consists of the various bonds they form with others, such as family, friends, members of their community , and strangers . It can be measured by the duration and quality of the social interactions they have on a regular basis , both in person and online
People with strong social connections may live longer and healthier lives, according to numerous studies people who are isolated face a 50% greater risk of premature death than those who have stronger social connections.
It was cited in a study suggesting that the social isolation carries a risk of mortality that’s similar to that of other major risk factors, such as smoking
the stress of isolation can weaken people’s immune systems, making them more susceptible to infectious diseases. She also noted that people with strong social connections tend to have better health behaviors, like eating healthy foods and being physically active . said by Lisa Berkman , director of the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies
Making friends may seem like a mysterious process, but it’s actually rooted in some basic social truths. For example, it’s easiest to develop friendships with people who are in close proximity, share similar interests, and support your social identity.
Maintaining a friendship requires you to be supportive, disclose personal information, interact regularly, and be more positive than negative on balance. Being present and having a positive attitude can go a long way to opening up the possibility for a deeper friendship.
People have the freedom today to build their particular social cohort both online and offline; their social circles may include family, friends, professional mentors, and other important individuals in their lives
Online social ties can be a powerful source of social support and joy, especially for people who are isolated for geographical or other reasons. There is, however, no substitute for face-to-face interaction, and those who spend time among friends and family report higher levels of well-being than individuals with fewer ties "in real life."
L ove Love is a mix of feelings and actions that shows a deep liking for someone or something Romantic love can lead to things such as dating, marriage and sex, but a person can also feel for friends, such as platonic love, or family There are also chemical reactions within the brain that can be triggered by the different types of love
Their are many kinds of love. There can be self-love, love towards a friend (such as platonic love), love in romance, towards family, toward God, or towards an object or idea
Often love can be confused with other feelings. Being sexually or physically attracted is the feeling of lust. Lust and love may be thought of as different. Normal friendship is a form of love that can be distracted by lust and misunderstanding.
Helen Fisher, an expert in the topic of romantic love, divides it into three stages: lust, attraction, and attachment. Lust makes people like each other, attraction encourages people to focus on mating, and attachment helps people tolerate the spouse (or the child)
Lust is the passionate or sexual desire that promotes mating. This usually lasts only a few weeks or months Attraction is more for one person specially
Recent studies in neuroscience say that as people fall in love, the brain releases chemicals, including dopamine. These chemicals make people less hungry and sleepy, and also adds an intense feeling of excitement. Researches show that this stage normally lasts from one and a half to three years.
Love has consequences for health and well-being. Joyful activities such as love activate areas in the brain responsible for emotion, attention, motivation and memory, and it may further lead to reduction of cortisol , which reduces stress
Healthy love relationship could be one of the most important points of maintaining health of an adult human
Avoiding addiction and bad habits Addiction is when the body or mind badly wants or needs something in order to work right People can be addicted to drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine, and many other things
Addiction always has a negative impact on persons health When somebody is addicted to something, they can become sick if they do not get the thing they are addicted to. But taking more of the thing they are addicted to can also hurt their health
Addiction takes place when the addictive element enters the body. The blood stream moves the element around the body so that it gets to the brain, and makes the person feel that they are enjoying it; then they want more of that substance
This takes place remarkably fast for some addictions such as hashish and cocaine; but all of them control the consumer. Once under this control, the consumer does not have a completely free will, and listens to the addiction's bidding.
People can also be addicted to other things which are not drugs. You may hear people talk about being "addicted to the Internet" or "addicted to chocolate" or gambling. This means that they get into a habit of enjoying that thing, so if they have to go without it for a while, they miss it a lot
Addiction is similar to a major disease like chronic heart disease or perhaps diabetes, but addictions are not taken as seriously as these major diseases addicts need to go to a doctor or hospital to cure the addiction, so they no longer crave (want or need) the drug or whatever else
The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) defines addiction as a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and an individual’s life experiences
People with addiction use substances or engage in behaviors that become compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences Prevention efforts and treatment approaches for addiction are generally as successful as those for other chronic diseases.
# symptoms of addiction : Tolerance , which is the need to engage in the addictive behavior more and more to get the desired effect Difficulty cutting down or controlling the addictive behavior Extreme mood changes – happy, sad, excited, anxious, etc
Weight loss or weight gain Pupils of the eyes seeming smaller or larger than usual Withdrawal happens when the person does not take the substance or engage in the activity, and they experience unpleasant symptoms, which are often the opposite of the effects of the addictive behavior
How to avoid addiction : 1. Understand how addiction develops 2. Identify Your Personal Triggers First 3. Avoid Stress and avoid peer pressure 4. Find the support you need and pull others for help
5. Deal positively with life pressures 6. Seek counseling 7. Distract yourself and fill your time with positivity and good habits and good people 8 . Keep learning and keep motivated
Safe environment Environment means anything that surrounds us. It can be living (biotic) or non-living ( abiotic ) things . It includes physical, chemical and other natural forces. Living things live in their environment. They constantly interact with it and adapt themselves to conditions in their environment.
In the environment there are different interactions between animals, plants, soil, water, and other living and non-living things
In psychology and medicine, a person's environment is the people, physical things and places that the person lives with. The environment affects the growth and development of the person. It affects the person's behavior, body, mind and heart.
The living conditions of living organisms in an environment are affected by the weather or climate changes in the environment
The environment should be maintained good and clean in order to maintain the overall health of a person
