World Health Day celebrates one of the home truths about life every April 7. The cliche saying, “Health is wealth,” is more than having no disease; it’s about feeling good, being strong, and living your life to the fullest daily.
It is observed globally to raise awareness of health issues and work towards universal access to healthcare. It’s also an excellent reminder that your health is in your hands.
If you’ve been delaying your health for the sake of something else, now is the time to change. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know and do to improve your health beginning today.
Preserving Good Health
Wellness is more than solely physical health. It includes:
- Physical health: Exercise, eat well, sleep right.
- Mental Health: Find a way to relieve stress, speak to a person, give your mind a break.
- Mental Health: Be aware of your emotions, develop respect and positive relationships.
- Social Health: Connect and create a support system.
These areas work together. You can neglect one without expecting the others to flourish.
Just Steps Towards a Healthy Way of Life
You don’t need to spend your life to be healthy. Take these small but mighty steps:
- Drink more water.
- Eat more fruits and vegetables.
- Get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.
- Get your body moving every day, such as walking, dancing, or stretching.
- Don’t smoke, and drink alcohol only in moderation.
- Get regular checkups.
And remember, your future self is grateful for the decisions you make today.
Prevention is Better than Cure
These are our “easy” numbers; another smart thing you can do is learn about your blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure. If you don’t know your health status, a Lipid Profile Panel Test and Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) are straightforward tests that will provide you with basic information about your body’s overall health.
Another step is to book Medi Linx Expanded LabCheQ which offers the most essential laboratory test procedures to detect early signs of disease and provides a comprehensive overview of a patient’s general health. For instance, a creatinine test is essential for tracking kidney function, while a fecalysis test can reveal digestive problems.
Health Is a Long-Term Investment
The decisions you make today, on what you eat, how much you move, and how much stress you take on, can determine your life years. Establishing a healthy routine is not a fad; it’s a lifelong investment.
