How to maintain good health-requisite tips to follow

Everyone wants to be healthy both mentally as well as physically, but the bigger question that dwells in everbody's mind is that, is it possible to achieve a desired fitness goal?
Ok, it is,but it takes really hard work to maintain fitness and a commitment to follow strict diet and regular exercise.
Let's begin with the tips that are requisite to maintain our health.

                                   

1-Dedication and commitment to follow certain things to maintain health. 

Dedication is the most difficult and underrated aspect of human nature,but it's the harsh truth that one can't achieve anything in life without being dedicated to do so. We normally search for the tips to do for achieving a target without preparing yourself for a commitment and the aftermath is leaving the journey without reaching the destination. 

So in my opinion dedication and commitment are still at the top for completing any goal. 


2-Diet


Obviously, everyone knows that a perfect physique can't be maintained without adopting a strict diet plan. But what are the you should avoid?, and what are the items in our kitchen which are healthy? 

Let's take them one by one

Our main focus should be on adopting a balanced diet. A balanced diet is one which contains all the requisite nutrients in proper amount that our body needs and can withstand some time of starvation. 

Diet that is rich in green leafy vegetables , fruits and cereals is a healthy diet  because leafy vegetables contain a large amount of vitamins, minerals, fibres and almost no saturated fat content. 

Fibres are essential for diestive system to function properly and maintains colonic microorganisms. 

In my opinion you should avoid all kinds of meat and dairy products and eggs too because they all contains a large amount of saturated fat which cause blockage of your arteries and lead to severe cardiovascular disorders. 

Also red meat is grouped under class 1 carcinogen, which is even more harmful than alcohol and nicotine together. 

Then,  Is there any strict diet that is complete and causes almost no problems? Yes, the answer is to adopt a vegan diet, the only complete and healthy diet and has almost no complication.

So, Are all fats bad for health? 


No, not at all only the saturated and trans fats are harmful for our body only beyond the prescribed limit. Mono and poly unsaturated fats are the healthy fats and omega 3 fatty acids are also the healthy ones. 

Foods that contain high density lipoproteins are healthy and that contain LDL-low density lipoproteins are unhealthy. Mostly the foods that are fried again and again in the same oil contain saturated fats and should be avoided. 



2-Stay hydrated


Hydration is essential to maintain ionic balance in the body. Sodium and potassium ion balance is responsible for maintaining  neurological and renal functions. 

Water is needed for each and every cell to function. Proper hydration helps the brain and body to function properly. 

For an adult almost 5 litres of water is required in a day. Water also helps in the absorption of many nutrients. 


3-Exercise


  • Exercise is required for every organ to function  properly. But the biggest question is what kind of exercise should you do?, It depends entirely on your goals you can choose yoga, meditation, gym or simply walking or running. 


For better lung function running is the best option. Among running a 1 or 2 minute sprint is the best fat burning exercise. 

Meditation is best to improve concentration and helps those who have aprosexia (lack of concentration).
               


At last it does not matter what kind of exercise do u perform if your only goal is to remain fit, you can choose any.

Obesity is the most common and preventable health related problem. It is the root cause of diabetes mellitus and hypertention. With good diet  and regular exercise these metabolic disorders can be prevented.

Just a daily 10 minutes of jogging or morning walk is sufficient to maintain good health but if you are obese then you should go harder. If possible go for a sprint, it is the best fat burning exercise.

What is the perfect weight that you should maintain? 


You should have a Body Mass Index (BMI)  between 18 and 25, that is calculated by the following method-
Your weight in kg divided by the square of your height in metre. 

Another simple method to get the perfect weight is to subtract 100 from your height in centimeters. 
For example your height is 175 metres  then your perfect weight should be around 75.

4-Avoid smoking


To maintain overall health you should have a good lung capacity, with smoking you invite a lot of respiratory disorders like asthma,  emphysema, Pulmonary tuberculosis and above all lung cancer. 

Smoking causes epithelium changes in your pharynx and trachea and predisposes it to other infections. 


If you really want to stop smoking then it is not an impossible task, go and consult your doctor.


5-Avoid alcohol


Alcohol has the potential to damage your liver and predisposes to cancers. 

Note-If you are a regular drinker then  never take paracetamol after drinking because that can cause acute liver failure and death can occur. 


Alcohol in small dosage is not harmful but actually it is beneficial, as it converts the bad lipid to good lipids i. e, LDL TO HDL conversion. 

2 pegs daily with good diet and regular exercise is not going to produce any harm to your body but if you drink more than this then its the high time to quit alcohol. 

Drinkers should have their liver profile tests done at regular intervals to check the liver status. 


6-Drink green tea and have complete sleep


Green tea has almost no calories and is helpful in reducing fat content in your body. 
For a good weight loss program green tea is an essential drink.



Also about 7 to 8 hour sleep is necessary for a healthy body and good functioning brain. 

Well, just stay focused on what you want to achieve and stay healthy.
