Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – What is Meant by Good Health
Good health could be defined as state of wellness with absence of disease both physical and mental. We use the phrase “How are you?” when we meet someone. How often do we we wish that we had not asked them! They reply to us as if we had asked them to fill out a medical survey or a financial analysis of their bank balance.
It seems that most people do not really know how their health is at all. The ability to be able to get up in the mornings without pain in the joints, to be able to take a shower and dry ourselves and then to sit at the breakfast table and eat a hearty breakfast; this is already a
picture of a person who enjoys good health.
The vendors of medicines such as large pharmaceutical companies have, over the years, advertised their products to such a degree that it has become common practice to want to swallow a pill at the first sign of a twinge in a joint or muscle. As a practicing chiropractor I see patients regularly whose first thought was to swallow pills to alleviate the discomfort of a shoulder or neck,
When the pills wear off and the pain returns to annoy them, they seek chiropractic care which inevitably fixes their problems by removing the cause of the pain. An interesting concept is to think of the twenty people in an office who work in the same environment. Six of them catch colds or the flu and the remainder do not.
What happened? Why did the other fourteen people in the office not become ill? A reasonable answer would be that the six people’s resistance and immune responses were impaired at the time whereas those of the fourteen were not.
How did this happen, and what causes an impaired immune response and lowered resistance? We are now approaching some basic tenets of health. To maintain a high level of good health it is necessary to do the following things, or at least to try to do as many of them as possible.
1. Eat nourishing foods
2. Do not partake of social drugs, including alcohol and tobacco
3. Get plenty of sleep, at least 8 hours if possible.
4. Exercise regularly
5. Drink 6 glasses of water daily
6. Do not take yourself seriously. Nobody else does anyway
7. Learn to laugh at the foolishness of the world and you will live longer
8. Avoid mental stress and tension
9. Avoid working in places with a high noise level
10. Bring some spirituality into your life. This can include yoga, singing, painting, going to church etc.
11. Develop deep breathing. This will bring life giving oxygen into the lungs and help repair damaged tissues.
We can now see that good health is not quite what we might have thought it to be and that perhaps we had it all along but did not recognize it. Next time a friend asks you how you are, reply “Great!” and just hope that they will say the same to you when you ask them how they are also.
