My response to the @Indiaunited contest:
Theme: Do you consider your self fit/ Healthy?
Definition of good health is very vast, when we talk about being fit and healthy, it does not limit to only physical health. One can be claimed as healthy when the person is mentally, emotionally and physically healthy.
If I have to quote myself on being healthy or not then I can say that I am not 100% fit and healthy on all of these parameters, but yes somewhere between 90% to 95% I am. On the look of it, physically I am healthy, I have absolutely no health issue. My back does give me a problem on and off, with the sciatica pain but now I have learned to do pain management and taking care of that. This is where I lose my 5 to 10%. Otherwise, my overall health is very good. Crossing the age of 50 and yet not being on single medication is a big achievement for me.
For all of this I do regular health checkups, do my yoga, exercise daily, take vitamin supplements to keep up with the mineral and vitamin depletion that occurs with age. Eat healthy and clean food and avoid all toxic and unhealthy foods. Sleep well, making sure my body gets good rests that it needs to rejuvenate. This is all for the physical health.
For my mental and emotional health, I do meditation and breathing exercise daily. Spend lot of time in nature, do things that makes me happy. Read, dance, spend time with friends and try to be in a positive state of being as much as possible.
I respect the life that I have received and always feel very grateful about it. I believe that the body I have received is a gift from the universe and I need to take good care of it at all times and not abuse it. Life is precious and we need to preserve it well. It's miserable to live with ailments and ill-health with a low quality life. There is no fun in living life in a sick and unhealthy manner.
