Basics of good health

Health is a hotly discussed topic today. However, there are certain basics of good health. It can be classified into five major categories:

1. Physical health.
2. Mental health.
3. Emotional health.
4. Social health.
5. Spiritual health.

Now let us examine these in a little more detail.

Physical Health:

This refers to the health of our physical bodies. It depends on how well we nurture our body, look after it and maintain it. The body is the only asset that we are born with, and needs to be taken care of.

Mental Health:

Like it or not, we have a mental health. This has nothing to do with mental balance. It has everything to do with Attitude. Maintaining a positive attitude is important to keep a good mental health.

Emotional Health:

This is very closely linked with Mental health. If we laugh a lot (laughter of course, is an emotion), it helps the mind think straight and maintain a positive attitude. Also, this affects what all you like and dislike, identify with, relate to, and all such factors.

Social Health:

This determines our surroundings. Most times, we do not have control over the surroundings. A lot of this has to do with what others think of us, and a lot of this is influenced by our attitude most of the time.

Spiritual Health:

This is what we would do without bothering about the result. For instance, if you love doing social work, and you do it regularly, it would enhance your sense of fulfillment. You could probably give free tuitions to deserving students. You could possibly even just visit somebody who would benefit from a visit, such as an unwell relative or friend.

So that's it for today's post. I'll be back with more health posts later on in the next few days.

Read this first!

Hello and welcome to all the people who are interested in learning more about health. It is my pleasure to share whatever little knowledge of health with you all. Please do post your comments. Though the primary focus of my blog would be health, I may occasionally touch upon certain other topics as well. I love sports especially Cricket, Tennis, Badminton, Football, F1 and Pool.

For health information, I'm part of a health and wellness society which shares very good information on health from time to time. There are also some very useful emails circulating about on health which I get a good amount of. Many of them are just common knowledge, but reading about something can help us keep it in our minds, which we ignore at other times.

If you have any pre-existing conditions please check with your doctor before implementing the suggestion.

I cannot take responsibility for any issues or any information which you may find contradictory to other information that you may find on the web.

Finally, I thank you for taking the time to read my blog. Hope you will find the information useful and help you in understanding health better. However, if you too have some good information to share, please do let me know.
