Health and wellness

Hello everyone, I am Kunal Saroha Today I will discuss the topic of health and wellness.

Health & Wellness Health and wellness are key components in my life. To me, health is having no health issues such as illness, sickness, or injury. Wellness is a synonym for health, however, I would define it as living a happy, healthy lifestyle with little or no health issues. I feel the importance of health should be included in everyone's daily lives. The importance of health to me is to live a long, prosperous life. Also, to avoid medical conditions that go along with an unhealthy lifestyle. Throughout my paper, I will express my philosophical opinion on health and wellness. My view on philosophical health and wellness starts with being educated on healthy foods and eating habits. Poor eating habits have become more common in our society over the last couple of decades. Obesity is becoming a significant problem in America, especially in young children. Another important philosophical belief that I have is physical activity. Physical activity is something one should incorporate into his/her daily schedule. Something as simple as walking can improve one's health. For example, instead of a young child or teenager laying around on his/her cellphone or playing video games, he/she could be outside playing a pickup game of basketball, football, etc. I feel if one incorporates any physical activity into his/her daily life, our society would be much healthier. I try to incorporate as much physical activity into my life as possible. As I am part of a team or family as I call them now, we all encourage each other to stay physically active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I am also trying not to fall into the stereotypical category of “The Freshman Fifteen.” Every freshman fears those words, but that is where healthy eating habits come into play. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, one of my goals is to maintain a healthy weight. To do this, I must reduce the number of processed foods, junk foods, and carbonated beverages in my diet. Being a student-athlete I am required to maintain a level of physical activity before, during, and after my season. Therefore, my goal during the offseason is to at least exercise sixty minutes per day. Another goal I set for myself is time management. With my busy schedule, I will need to get an appropriate amount of sleep each night. My eating habits, time management, diet, and physical fitness will need to change to meet the goals that I have set for myself. A seemingly non-health issue would be a winning or losing sports team. A winning sports team can be such a boost to a city and the people who live there, including the economy, morale, and optimism to name a few. How about we start with an example, the Pittsburgh Pirates. A team who has not been on a winning streak in twenty years, this has boosted the economy in Pittsburgh. More people go to the games to watch this winning team and they spend more time and money in the city. It has been proven in cities with winning sports teams that depression, anxiety, suicide, and crime have all been decreased when their sports teams are on a winning streak, rather than on a losing streak. In twenty-five years, I will be the ripe age of forty-four years old. I should be many years into my chosen career as a registered doctor and hopefully further educated to be a doctor anesthetist. I hopefully have been blessed to be married and have children of my own by now. At this point, I hope to have passed on the importance of a healthy lifestyle to the ones I love. Three to four decades from now, I wish to be an active part of society, physically active, and hopefully have maintained good health and wellness. My health philosophy is to maintain my physical activity, proper nutrition as well as emotional and physical health. Combining all of these together I should be able to have a healthy lifestyle and prosperous life. Physical activity is an important therapy for your emotional well-being, it makes you feel good and that you have accomplished a goal that you set for yourself. Maintaining proper nutrition is required to keep up with your physical activity, the “better you eat, the better you feel.” Eating healthy, natural, and organic foods while staying away from processed foods, carbonated beverages, and fried foods. These bring your emotional and physical health down. My philosophy in life is to feel good, eat good, and educate on the importance of health and well-being. The health initiative 2020 will hopefully educate more people about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. I feel that this initiative will cost more at the forefront to educate people across the country but after people are educated, and strive to live healthier lives then medical costs will decrease and the health initiative will be achieved. In conclusion, throughout my paper I have expressed my philosophical opinion on health and wellness, and what this means to me. I hope to achieve the goals I have set for myself this year as well as in my future.                                                                                                                                                                          Thank you
