What does healthy mean anyway? That is a word that many people are confused about, thanks to the media and the Internet. The word 'healthy' can be spiritually, physically, intellectually, emotionally, or mentally.
Many people have the preconceived idea that being overweight a sign of being unhealthy, but is it really? The skinny physique has been sought after over the last couple of decades. Many young women and teenagers want to maintain the almost-stick figure of their childhood. Is it the skinniness that they are after or is it the mindset of their childhood that they crave?
If that is the case, then the person is mentally unhealthy.
Whatever happened to Marilyn Monroe? We seemed to condemn her and began revering Barbie's image. Even Lucy and Ethel were no less than a size 12. Why did that weight mindset shift?
Is it important to retreat to a gym? Are gyms really healthy?
What other modes of activity could we do without resorting to gyms?
Ever observe that some overweight people are happier and even more fit than a skinnier person? It's true. Appearances can be deceiving. Many things make up a body. Muscle, tendons, organs, bones. blood, water - all make up the body.
No two bodies are alike.
I have seen and worked with so many people throughout my healthcare years of service. People will do and try any trend diet if it means a quick weight loss. There is no such thing as a fast healthy weight loss. We gain weight gradually, so we must lose the weight gradually.
When people lose weight too quickly, then they are losing more water weight than they are true weight.
According to Ayurveda, there are three different types of body constitutions: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Neither is better, nor is one inferior from another. Each constitution is unique. Ayurveda is an Eastern culture health care system that helps people to embrace their constitution; to move the body and embrace the body with what it can do and not compare it to other body types and sizes.
MINDFULNESS and awareness are the two essential forms of healthiness. We have to become aware of our bodies and feel how it works, embrace how our bodies move, and know what works.
READ and KNOW the ingredients of foods and know the QUALITY of the food as well.
