Overlooked Yet Vital: Essential Physical Health Practices

in Hive Naijayesterday (edited)

The importance of physical health cannot be overemphasised, yet somehow it seems to be downgraded, pushed into the corner while running around and engaging with life's other important activities. Physical health means a lot to the body, and ultimately to the wholeness of an individual. Wholeness in the sense that it affects the other functions of the body, to the best possible state. While a body system may seem to be running well and smoothly, it can do better and best with physical health practices.

Physical health might not be a total approach to a healthy life, but it however add to the quality of health and life of an individual. These practices go from one range to another, from easy to complex, in all cases adding little or much value to a person's health experience. Sadly, today, what doesn't make us money directly isn't a priority, so we could find the efforts towards physical health constantly deteriorating. It holds, nonetheless, an important place in the life of one chasing after good health.

The tedious and rigorous perspective, the quite demanding conception as well, is one considerable factor for the negligence of practices aimed at physical health. It won't take much to drink a lot of water, especially in the morning, right? However, I find it highly neglected amidst many, I inclusive. It's much about facing life's hurdles and making some cash that seems the biggest concern. You could say ignorance is the case in some situations.

Stress management. Many are stressed and can't find a way out, not realising or ignoring that a function of physical health could help serve the situation. It's common to get stressed these days, but with the right physical health approach, such as meditation and the practice of deep breathing, can be remedies taken for granted. Few or less take the practice of this, notwithstanding the health benefit that comes from it-or maybe it isn't known.

How about a good and fresh dose of the early morning sun, Vitamin D? This aids in the formation and build-up of strong bones and teeth through the regulation of calcium levels. The immune system is encouraged and more empowered to function with the help of this vitamin, all gotten from a sufficient amount of sunlight in the morning. While we avoid it, there should be a rethink, as this can help strengthen muscles and improve muscle movement as well.

A good posture can do a lot for a good body and health. I learned through a GIF of how the common act of tying our shoes-alongside other common activities, can put our backs in positions that are unfavourable to them. This is one I'll say there's high ignorance rather than negligence. However, when this is realised and done rightly, there's an advantage in reducing back pain while improving breathing.

Not to mention engaging in strength training or exercises. Such could be said to be demanding. Even on a peripheral consideration, these mentioned could be seen as ignored, though not much is required to practice them. Physical health is important, and should be taken as such, something I'll do well to take as well.
