Anyone can get sick without any warning. This is the rule of nature. However, haven’t we always envied that certain person who never falls sick? What is the secret behind his/her evergreen health? People fall sick when their immune system becomes weak and the body fails to fight the germs that attack us. So how do we keep ourselves away from sickness?
There are certain specific things you can do in order to stay away from diseases and infections. Following this pattern every day will ensure that you have fewer chances of falling sick and remain hale and hearty at all time
Importance Of Keeping Yourself Clean
The first step towards a disease free life is cleanliness. Cleanliness does not necessarily mean taking bath a couple of times every day. It comes in washing your hands properly before eating and after you have travelled and have been out.
Washing your feet and taking a bath if you have been sweating and have been to unclean places. Washing yourself after sexual activities, keeping your genital areas clean and changing under garments and clothes every day. These basic things will keep you healthy and clean throughout your life.
A person who is on a well balanced diet will never have reason to fall sick. A well balanced diet will have fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains etc. which are full of essential vitamins, minerals and fatty acids and also rich in antioxidants which protect the body from free radical damage and effects of ageing.
Avoid processed and canned foods as much as possible and go for natural food to stay healthy. You must also avoid junk food for abundant health.
Exercise must be an integral part of your schedule for staying healthy and strong and to develop immunity and resistance to diseases. Exercise will help you burn those extra calories that you have been packing up on your body.
Spending at least 15 minutes on cardiovascular exercise will benefit you greatly throughout the life. Exercise can be done at home or outside depending on your comfort.
Meditation is a form of mental exercise and can help you gain freedom from stress, anxiety, depression and many other mental problems and help you relax tremendously.
Stress is a silent killer and can lead to many problems that could even turn life threatening. Therefore, it is important to remove stress from your body and provide great relaxation in order to stay healthy and happy.
Catching up on 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep is something we have all become alien to. Sleep deprivation can lead to many health problems and resultant diseases and must therefore be removed from your lifestyle. Good sleep will ensure that your body functions well and you do not feel tired and irritated throughout the day.
Make sure that the bedroom is free from all kinds of disturbances that disrupt your sleep and prevent you from getting a relaxed and wonderful sleep. A good night’s sleep will provide you with energy to fight diseases.
