Leading a healthy and happy life

We often tend to become nostalgic when we talk about health and food habits. This is true whether we are talking about our personal lives or about the world in general. Everything that belonged to the past always seems to be better than what we have at present. The past was great, the present bad, and the future bleak – that is how most casual conversations of the so called modern generation go. At the same time, we all know what made the past good and what makes the present bad; then why cannot we simply adopt the good things from the past into the present. “Hey, time’s up. Got to go. Got a lot of work to do.” Exactly! This is how most such conversations end. Work, work, and more work have made our lives dull and unhealthy.

In this scenario, rather than simply being nostalgic, what we must do is take some active steps towards healthy living. Work, stress, and frustration are part and parcel of our modern day existence. We cannot shirk from work related activities. But we should know where to draw the line. We should not succumb to pressure after a point. Instead of waiting till everything explodes in our faces, we must think early and act positively. If it is overwork that is destroying our lives we must find room for entertainment activities to balance the stress. This is why companies provide ample opportunity for their employees to even simply fool around by way of fun activities. The work that we do might not be always interesting, or we might not have landed in the profession that we had dreamed of. There is no use blaming our profession or circumstances. The solution here is to bring in things that we enjoy doing into our work or create time for doing those things. In this light, good exercise and nutritious food are two things that must form part of our daily routine.

There are many people who bunk eating while they are at work. They sit at their computers or stay at their work site without even taking a coffee break. They are too dedicated to their work. This over-dedication easily leads to ulcers, body pains, and other physiological and psychological issues. Such workaholics must realize that the ultimate reason for them to work is to get enough money to buy something to eat. Therefore, whatever is the work that they have at hand, they should be able to allocate it in a time efficient manner and find enough space for food breaks. There is another problem with the breaks that people take while at work. This is the issue of junk food. In order to get back to work as fast as possible, people fill their tummies with the easily available fast food items. If such foods become a part of daily diet, that will again lead to further problems.


Therefore, finding a balance between our work and other daily activities and taking conscious care of our food habits are the means for a healthy and happy life.
