Follow these steps for a healthy wealthy life
Exercise well
Physical inactivity is a common risk factor for several health conditions. From maintaining a healthy weight to improving your heart health, regular exercise plays a crucial role in maintaining your overall health in more ways than one.
Prioritise sleep
Ensuring a healthy sleep cycle is more important than you think. In today’s fast-paced world, it can be difficult to maintain a healthy sleep cycle. However, for your overall well-being, follow practices that can help you sleep better.
“Health is not fitness,” states Actor and Nutritionist Bhagyashree. In a video message shared on social media, Bhagyashree explains that to improve overall health, diet is more important than exercise.
She writes Good health doesn’t come from the gym, or with elevated excercise (sic) routines. It comes from the essential nutrients being covered in your everyday meals. I cannot stress the fact enough, that diet does not mean giving up on food, it means the correct combination of food that ensures your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Bhagyashree calls for a pact to “prioritise your health everyday”.
Pay attention to your mental health
Your mental health is the foundation of your overall well-being. It’s very important to manage and assess your emotional health on a daily basis. Also, do not hesitate to seek help from an expert whenever required.
This World Health Day, make these promises to yourself and say hello to better health.
