What does it mean to have healthy habits? First, I will explain what health means. It is believed that for a person to be considered healthy it is only necessary not to have any disease. However, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is the situation of perfect physical, mental and social well-being. There are four fundamental pillars to maintaining a balanced life. I will start by talking about food. Have you ever stopped to think that every food we eat is nourishing us or feeding a disease? It may seem a little scary to talk about it that way, but it’s reality. It is necessary to understand that your body needs nutrients to stay balanced and functioning optimally. Our bodies are very intelligent and work tirelessly to keep us healthy. If you’re giving him poor quality food, he’ll eventually call for help. That’s how illnesses arise. Another important habit is physical activity, an essential practice at any age. It’s common for people to work all day sitting down, sprawl on the couch to watch TV after work, and then go to bed. The next day, everything repeats. It is noteworthy that physical exercise can prevent and/or improve the condition of diseases such as heart problems, obesity, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and even depression, in addition to improving mood and self-esteem. It’s not just physical health that benefits from exercise, but mental health too. /*! elementor – v3.6.5 – 27-04-2022 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block} Another essential pillar is sleep, considered as important to good health as the food we eat and the air we breathe. Ideally, we sleep around 10 pm and have 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day. It is also necessary to have a balance between activity and rest. If you stop sleeping to do other things, you are doing a lot of harm to your body. Lack of sleep can reduce your resting metabolic rate, which is the amount of calories your body expends each day just to function. That’s because the body feels that you need to save energy because you haven’t rested properly. Sleep is also an excellent anti-inflammatory. People with chronic sleep deficits have more inflammatory markers in the body. Last but not least, the habit of managing stress. Emotions are felt by every cell in our body. For this reason, it is very important to make an effort to think positive thoughts, as this will benefit your overall health. More and more studies show that stress and anxiety can cause physical illness. Did you know that Brazil is the most anxious country in the world? We must take care of our mental health, including habits that make us happy in our routine, such as taking a walk with someone we love, reading a few pages of a book, meditating, doing a physical exercise that brings us pleasure or even being silent and connecting.

HEALTHY HABITS: CHANGES IN THE ROUTINE TO GAIN HEALTH It is true that science is making great strides in developing solutions to improve health and achieve cures for illnesses that, just over a few decades ago, sounded like almost invincible threats. However, a pill capable of prolonging human life with quality and preventing most diseases has not yet come out of the benches of pharmaceutical laboratories or universities. One of the most effective ways to make at least a portion of this apparent miracle is even the adoption of healthy habits or, for those who are far from walking the line, a change in lifestyle. Take the example of cancer. Even though there are risk factors that we cannot change, such as age and family history, the others are subject to change. So much so that the American Cancer Society attributes a third of deaths from this cause to the maintenance of unbalanced diets and lack of physical activity. Likewise, several studies have already demonstrated the association between the reduction of heart disease and the combination of regular physical exercise, adoption of a Mediterranean diet – rich in fish, nuts and extra virgin olive oil –, weight control and, of course , smoking distance. In addition to these habits, other attitudes, some more laborious, others less, are behind the maintenance of good health and the prevention of illnesses and organic imbalances, even if momentary. The good news is that often a single change can bring multiple benefits. When we sleep better, not only are we able to be more willing to face the challenges of the next day, with reduced stress, but we also help to improve metabolism and prevent obesity, which, among other damages, causes diabetes, a disease associated with cardiovascular events , such as acute myocardial infarction. The fact is that the daily incorporation of healthy habits has a positive systemic effect on the body. Talk to your doctor and start working for your health right now. If you need help, also seek psychological support….
