World Health Day 2022: How to live a healthier post-pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a life-changing global event that has had tremendous impacts on the body and minds of everyone. It has managed to create various emotional challenges in virtually all of us, which can easily result in physical health concerns as well. When you are struggling with some emotional challenges, it can easily dysregulate your nervous system and even cause physical health problems. In this article, in the spirit of World Health Day on 7th April 2022, we will discuss some tips to help you have a mentally and physically healthier year ahead in the post-pandemic world.
Keep yourself hydrated and practice healthy eating habits
When you practice healthy eating habits, you are essentially providing a greater degree of nutrition to your body. With proper hydration, you can feel lighter and less stressed throughout the day. Lower levels of stress, coupled with healthy eating habits, can have a significant positive impact on your mental and physical health. Healthy hydration routines and nutritious food supports your immunity and central nervous system and maintains a good pH balance and fluid circulation.
Slow down from time to time
Avoid overscheduling your time and multitasking as much as you can. You should ideally take some time to transition between different activities. Take some time to listen to your body and sense the time that your central nervous system needs to avoid getting overwhelmed by a busy schedule. When your body is completely balanced, you can manage your stress levels better and respond calmly in all situations. If not, you are prone to get hyper-aroused and feel restless, angry, and anxious, or even hypo-aroused and feel zoned out, numb, exhausted, and very slow. Maintaining a calm work-life cycle can help you stay healthy physically and mentally. It is also important to take some time out of your busy schedule and keep a close eye on what is going on in your body with regular tests at Helix Pathlabs, Mohali.
Exercise regularly, and sleep properly
Leading research on mental and physical health issues shows that emotions have the potential to move around in the body as energy. Rest and sleep are fundamental to maintaining a healthy body and mind. Scheduling some time for regular exercise can help you in getting adequate and quality sleep, as exercise helps in accelerating your circulatory system.
Take steps to manage stress and anxiety better
It is no secret that conflicts can potentially create anxiety and stress, which could result in both mental and physical stress. You need to take the time to decompress and manage anxiety and stress better to allow your body to align with your mind and emotions. One of the best ways to tackle any physical issues is to get regular tests and stay updated on how you can rectify any problems that you may be facing.
