If you are healthy, you don’t just have to take care of your body, but you have to do it.

When you are healthy, you don’t just have to take care of your body, but you have to take care of a lot more areas of your lifestyle than just your physical body. Today we take a look at some areas that you may have neglected over the years and how you can change all aspects of your health.

So many of them look at a healthy lifestyle in the context of losing weight, but there are many other aspects when they are healthy that they have to look at. Being healthy is not just about eating properly!

I personally think the key to healthy life is to follow a healthy lifestyle in order to give yourself the best chance of avoiding chronic diseases.

It is easy to neglect to take care of ourselves, because if we are busy and overwhelmed, we simply don’t seem to be able to find the time to take care of ourselves. Self -care prevents “overload burnout” and reduces the negative effects of stress, so this is essential for your health.

There is no doubt that the right and training of food and movement are of crucial importance for your body, as well as the sufficient amount of water. “Calories in” must be counteracted by “calorie failures”, so that the food decisions supported by the training are indeed crucial to take care of your body best.

You will feel better by eating and training properly, but to feel good, you have to do more. A healthy lifestyle must be a priority. Take care of your body, but also your mind and general well -being.

After I was a personal trainer and now a life coach, I ask my customers to create a good balance between all important areas of life.

To do this, I teach you about the importance of wellness

According to the World Health Organization, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well -being and not just the lack of diseases or frailty.” In other words, your health is much more about physical complaints – it is also about emotional and social fitness.
