We all talk about wanting to be healthy...but how do you know if you are healthy? It is known that health is not merely an absence of symptoms or disease. It is a state of physical , mental and emotional well being.
Here are 5 questions you can ask yourself to get an idea of where you stand on the spectrum of health.
1. When did you see your doctor last and have your last physical health check up? Your BP, sugar levels, cholesterol levels...and other parameters which give you a good idea about your physical heath.
2. How do you feel in your body? Are there any aches, pains? Do you wish you could go for that monsoon trek but not sure if your body can take it? Physical fitness is so important and it is essential to make it a part of your daily routine.
3. Do you feel you can handle the various challenges life will throw at you? Mental health is as important, if not more, as physical health. We need to be mentally and emotionally stable to go through life's ups and downs. If you feel you are not quite there, then please reach out and take help.
4. Do you spend enough time doing things you love? I cannot stress the importance of this. If all you do is complaint about the life you are currently living, or wish you could get the time to pursue your passions, then you need to take a pause and reassess your choices. It is imperative to your mental and physical health that you actively seek joy and happiness.
5. Are you making good lifestyle choices? And are they sustainable?
Every day matters. Make the right choices from today. And make them everyday.
There is no greater wealth than your health. Let today be the day you decide to start living your best life.
