There is a common misconception that a healthy lifestyle, monitoring one's health and taking care of regular doctor's visits take a lot of time, require extra effort.
But the good news is that a few small lifestyle changes can lead to healthy habits and improved family health.
First of all, pay attention to what health problems your family members are facing. Many parents control the health of their children and completely forget about themselves and their physiological needs. And now we are talking about sexual health too. After all, the sexual health and regular intimacy of parents is a healthy relationship, good mood, strong immunity and a stable psychological connection. After analyzing the complaints of hundreds of family patients during their visits to doctors and psychologists, we can say with confidence that every second patient has problems in his or her sexual life. And this affects his physical and psychological health.
So, one of the important points for improving the health of the whole family is to analyze the problems and needs of each of its members.
Also, it is very important to pay attention to the diet. As it is the diet that affects the sufficient amount of energy needed during the day. And food is not only energy, but also the health of the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, and endocrine system.
With that, the diet of each family member should be complete and varied. Children need more vitamins, minerals, fats for brain function, carbohydrates for energy. Adults need more minerals, fatty acids, and proteins. Carbohydrate restriction for adults is a must as they raise blood sugar levels and lead to obesity.
Sports and activities are important elements for the health of the whole family. Spend your days- off actively. Walk more, ride a bike, play with children. The more movement and activity the better. Physical activity gives energy, improves heart function, burns extra calories and contributes to better joint function. You should regularly put stress on the joints, ligaments and muscles to be in good shape.
Visiting a doctor. Usually, many people forget about doctors while they are healthy. It is not right. Any disease is easier to prevent than to cure. Moreover, it is not only easier and faster, but also cheaper. And if you want your family to be healthy, visit your family doctor regularly, take laboratory blood tests, monitor the health of internal organs: gastrointestinal tract, heart, kidneys, liver. Sometimes it's better to spend 100 euros on visiting a doctor than to spend 1000 euros or more on drugs.
Everyone knows these basic rules, but few follow them. But if you think about it, you're already doing the same thing. You just need to structure all the actions and think about how to do better for your loved ones.
