Overview
How we treat our bodies is a crucial part of living a healthy, balanced life. Anything that causes damage to our physical and mental well-being can have long-term consequences, leading to pain, disability, increased risk for illness and disease, and eventually shortened life spans. Here we explore some common practices that can have negative effects on health, so that you can be mindful of your own habits.
Environmental Factors=
Living in a polluted environment can be detrimental to health. Air pollution, for example, has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular and respiratory conditions. Likewise, pollution in the water supply can lead to a weakened immune system, organ damage, and even cancer.
Poor Eating Habits=
Unhealthy eating habits such as skipping meals or overeating, or eating foods that are high in saturated fats, preservatives, or processed sugars can all have a negative impact on our bodies. Eating an unhealthy diet can lead to obesity, high cholesterol and blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Inactivity=
Not exercising, or getting enough physical activity, can also have severe health consequences, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and depression. Regular, moderate exercise is necessary for overall health and to help keep weight at a reasonable level.
Substance Abuse=
Substance abuse, whether through the misuse of tobacco, alcohol, or otherwise dangerous drugs, can be just as damaging to someone’s health as any of the other factors mentioned above. Substance abuse has been linked to heart disease, stroke, cancer, cirrhosis, pancreatitis, depression, and even premature death.
Conclusion=
Living a healthy lifestyle requires making good decisions that contribute to our overall health and wellbeing, and these decisions must be something we actively work at every day. Choosing to do things that put our health at risk can have serious long-term consequences. Mindful of this, we should aim to eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and limit or avoid substance abuse. When it comes to our health, prevention is always better than cure.
