The way in which an individual life is called lifestyle. This includes the typical patterns of an
individual’s behavior like every day routine at home, in school, or at work; eating, sleeping, and exercise
habits, and many others. These patterns of behavior are related to elevated or reduced health risk.
Managing your lifestyle entails making modifications in your routine especially in those aspects
that elevate health risks. Food choice, physical activity, and eating habits are some of the aspects of your
lifestyle that can be modified to improve it. These modifications should be done gradually, like reducing
the intake of fatty food, getting up to reach for something instead of asking someone to get it for you, or
walking faster and more often. The idea is that for health risks to be reduced, changes in your lifestyle
should be made.
The other variables in your lifestyle, however, can be modified to achieve a healthier life. Such
variables include nutrition, body weight, physical activity, and health habits. Modifying your eating habits
can aid you in managing your weight. Opting for more nutritious food can help lessen health risks and
improve your physique. Some of the common tips in weight management are including fruits and
vegetables in your meals, reducing intake of sweets, preparing your meals in a healthier way, and
decreasing portion sizes.
An unhealthy lifestyle brings with it certain diseases that can shorten your lifespan. These diseases,
known as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are not transmitted from person to person, yet kill more
than 36 million people each year. Also called chronic diseases, they are of long duration, and are generally
of slow progression. The four main types of NCDs are cardiovascular diseases (like enlargement of the
heart and hypertension), cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructed pulmonary disease
and asthma), and diabetes.
What is FITNESS?
In a nutshell, fitness is defined as the state of being physically fit and healthy. "Fitness" is a
broad term that means something different to each person, but it refers to your own optimal health and
overall well-being. Being fit not only means physical health, but emotional and mental health, too.
There are five areas of health related fitness. They are heart and lung endurance or
cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Heart
and lung endurance or cardiovascular endurance is the ability to exercise the entire body for long periods of
time.
