How to Lead a Healthy Lifestyle

How to Lead a Healthy Lifestyle.

Leading a healthy lifestyle in the present environment is really tough. People are suffering from panic and depression due to the effects of kovid-19 and lockdown all over the world. 

Somewhere people have no money to buy food, and somewhere there is money, but the supply of food is not adequate. Despite all of those factors, we need to be aware of the quality and healthy lifestyle in this sensitive environment.

Health is defined as a complete state of physical, mental, and social well being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Most people focus solely on physical attributes when they attempt to become healthy. They are not aware of the fact that the environment has an impact on the status of their health.

They change many habits to improve physical health but often overlook other aspects like mental health and social health. If you want to be truly happy in life, your physical health, your mental health, and social health all need to be given equal priority. 

If you have a positive state of mind and contribute values to society, you will be successful towards the aim of leading a healthy life.

Leading a Healthy Lifestyle depends on four important things that I will refer to as 4G Lifestyle.

This article will help discover the Secrets of the 4G lifestyle. which means 4 good things: "Good Food", "Good Exercise", "Good Sleep", and "Good Mind".

 

1.GOOD FOOD

The first factor for leading a healthy and quality lifestyle is to have healthy food. Good food does not mean what you love to eat, Eat what you ought to eat if you really love your health.

Good food means a balanced diet. 

A balanced diet is a diet that contains differing elements of foods in required proportions; carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, fiber, and water. 

Carbohydrates provide energy whereas protein, vitamin, and mineral help to enhance immunity and growth.

 A balanced diet consists of different varieties of food that contain all the essential elements that our body requires for healthy functioning. Therefore, a balanced diet provides all the nutrients requirements of our body in proper proportion. Choosing a balanced diet is the first step towards a healthy lifestyle.

Carbohydrate-dense food includes rice, bread, barley, oats, and other food grains. Protein-rich food includes fish,sea-food,poultry-food, red meat, pulses, milk, etc, Some high-protein foods like fish, eggs, etc, contain fats and fat-soluble vitamins too. 

Dietary fiber is important for a healthy digestive system and regular bowel movements. Fiber helps your bowel working smoothly. Fiber can improve cholesterol and blood sugar levels and can assist in preventing some diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and bowel cancer. 

Finally, we have to talk about water. The role of water in keeping the body healthy is immense. only a few of the health benefits are mentioned here. 

Water maintains cell health and integrity, carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells, adequate blood flow and maintain liquidity of blood, regulates body temperature through sweating, moisturizes the mucous membranes of the lungs, cleanse the bladder from bacteria, aids digestion and prevent constipation, assists in maintaining and moisturizing the skin.

Processed foods contain chemicals that reduce the efficiency of various organs in your body and negatively affect the brain.
