We’ve heard everyone talk about a healthy lifestyle. It is an abridged definition of living a robust, energetic and vibrant life, encompassing a healthy body and a healthy mind. It also involves a person’s ability to make sound choices and decisions, that not only benefit him physically and mentally but also reflects his impact on those around him, and his social behavior. To many, it is just being disease- free. But in reality, your mental state is as important as your physical state to ensure that you’releading a healthy life. Research has shown that an individual, who knows how to manage stress, remains positive and stays calm is less likely of countering diseases.
-How to achieve a healthy lifestyle?
To start with, you don’t have to make strict and extreme changes in your existing lifestyle. One of the principle rules is to adapt small and healthier choices that are sustainable in the long run. Many people nowadays get super motivated by watching a youtube video or movie and abruptly make such severe changes that are difficult to follow everyday. In a very short period, they get worn out which causes them to lose motivation and they revert back to their old unhealthy lifestyle. Therefore, it is important to take it slow with realistic goals and be patient with the journey.
