The Road to Being Healthy

July 7th 2010 07:40

There is more to being healthy than by simply eating the right food and engaging in body exercises. The aspects of health cover ones physical, mental and social well-being.

The other aspects of health are usually taken for granted including the mental health which covers the level of mental and emotional well-being of a person. A mentally healthy person is not necessarily someone who gives the right answers during recitations or exams. This more likely describes a person who is able to rationalize on relevant matters in life and can see things positively.

It will be difficult for the mind to work properly if it thrives on negative and disturbing thoughts. It is also safe to say that a mentally healthy person is someone who is free from any mental disorder since nothing can prevent the person from thinking and deciding clearly and objectively.

If you want to have a positive mental health, then do not live in self-doubt and fear. Gather up confidence, try to take risks and never be afraid to make mistakes. It may seem absurd to many but working to have a healthy mind is not too different from wanting a healthy body. Mental health is greatly related with having a healthy diet, by sleeping well, having proper hygiene and the likes.

You might remember some of your school experiences. Students experience failing examinations even if they studied really hard and spent the entire night on reading. When examinations came, they couldnt remember most of what they have read because both their bodies and minds are too tired. They might even end up sleeping during the entire exam period.

Students and employees who have empty stomachs will most likely be unable to perform their respective tasks. Instead of concentrating on what they need to do, they are heavily disturbed by hunger or stomach aches. These are only some of the direct relationships between physical and mental health.

Aside from the physical and mental health, another important part of life is the social well-being. It is true that no man is an island. Others might feel more comfortable being alone and they are certainly entitled to their privacy. However, wanting to be along all the time may not be considered socially healthy.

We live in a world where the principle of give and take applies. We cannot be expected to provide all our individual needs. We cannot also just take everything from others without giving something back. In a bigger concept, we have to abide by the laws and these laws also protect us from harm. We receive benefits from the government because we pay our taxes.

This give and take principle is not possible if we live only for ourselves and if we do not associate with other people. This same principle also describes how social health is achieved: by a healthy relationship with others.
In choosing to lead a healthy life, do not just pick one aspect because the purpose will not be achieved. Work on achieving a healthy physical, mental and social well-being so that you will not only have a longer life but also a happier and more meaningful one.
