Achieving Total Health And Fitness

By Lora Jones


If one would want to live long without getting sick often and growing old in a hospital bed under life support, then he would need to live a life of total health and fitness. Achieving full wellness is not really that hard but many people are just resistant to change their lifestyle. However, if one would want to live well, then some sacrifices have to be made.

Before the body becomes healthy on the outside, it must first be healthy in the inside so that it can manifest in the outer body. In other words, each organ of the human body should be in proper working condition before one can achieve optimal wellness. Of course in order to do this, one must always have a good and balanced diet in order to feed the cells.

As every pediatrician or dietitian would say, people should always eat fruits and vegetables everyday because it is through these kinds of foods that people would have the proper nutrients for the body. Other than fruits and vegetables, one must also consume proteins, some fats, and good carbohydrates. This means that one must consume some rice, eggs, nuts, and some bread in moderate amounts.

Taking vitamins is also a must because people do not have the time to keep on eating to be able to get all of the nutrients and vitamins. That is why one should take multivitamins that are really complete from A to zinc so that one can be fully functional with good health. In order to widen his knowledge, he should always research and study which vitamins are good.

Probably the biggest thing that can hinder the wellness of a person would be the presence of vices like tobacco smoke, alcohol, and drugs. Heavy smoking and heavy drinking are things that are known to destroy the body slowly and kill the organs over a long period of time. Of course drugs on the other hand, will kill all parts of the body right away and even waste away the brain of a person.

Now that the internal part is handled, then one may move on to the external part which means that one should regularly exercise. Regular exercise helps the body build up energy, burn unwanted calories, get the organs to be active, and get the blood moving. Also, exercise will help tone up the body and make each muscle much stronger.

Although a lot of people do not know, meditation is actually a very good method that one should regularly do. Contrary to a lot of popular belief, meditation has nothing to do with anything spiritual or religious and is just a way of achieving wellness. Meditation is actually a way for a person to communicate with his body so that the organs can respond in a good way.

So basically, those are the ways to achieve total health and fitness. Many people are not into this kind of lifestyle because they do not like change. But if they want to live long and strong, then they have to make that sacrifice.
