How to find out if you are Healthy!

How do you know you are okay? What are the signs that show you are very healthy? When can one feel very comfortable? All these and more are some of the questions that go on and on in our heads daily.

Unfortunately, people pay too much attention to health which can lead to Hypochondria (Hypochondria is otherwise known as Health anxiety i.e intense fear of having a severe condition and worry that trivial symptoms indicate something serious). It doesn't mean you don't have to pay attention to your health, of course, you do! but do so with caution.

More so, through all the vehicle emissions you breathe, GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms) that you eat, and chemicals that penetrate your body through the use of shampoo and skincare products, if you are feeling okay, it means you are very okay.

In today's article, we've picked the favorable eight (8) out of the numerous indications of literally good health to relieve us of some tension about health issues.

8 indications that you are healthy.

1. Taking the stairs;

You don't need to have amazing stamina or indulge in a lot of recreational activities to be considered healthy. If you can take a flight of stairs or two flights of stairs without a break at a mall, in your house, office, or other public places and still breathe normally without feeling exhausted or like you are dying, it means you are healthy and your body is also in good physical shape too.

2.Range of emotions;

Psychological health has got nothing to do with being super optimistic round the clock or When you experience a range of emotions from sadness to excitement and vice versa. All scientists concur that being angry, sad, annoyed, or depressed from time to time is normal because the ability to have all these emotions is a sign of good psychological health as none of these emotions are constant. It only becomes a concern when constant.

3.Fall asleep;

You would agree with me that there are difficult days when you fall asleep in a matter of seconds once your head hits the pillow after a long hard day at work or taking care of your child which can be very exhausting, this is perfectly normal as long as it doesn't happen every day. According to scientists, falling asleep instantly even on a normal day could be a result of an underlying issue because the normal process to fall asleep takes between 10-20 minutes after your head hits the pillow which is known as the calm and slow process.

4. No alarm;

We are not talking about the days when you have to get up at 6 a.m. because of tight schedules or an early morning meeting but when you have a relaxed schedule and don't need to get up at a certain time but you still manage to get up pretty early without an alarm and feel so good about it means you are very healthy.

5. Energy;

You are perfectly healthy when you can carry out the normal cycle of "sleep- food- work- sleep" successfully and still have enough energy to do the things you love to do such as playing with your child, exercising, meeting with a friend, or spending time with your family.
The simple formula is:
Sleep well
Eat moderately and 
Move about during the day.

6. Hungry;

If you don't eat out of boredom and you are not psychologically addicted to food or have a timetable for meals but eat only when you are hungry and never eat too much, then you are perfectly healthy in this respect and have a healthy system.

7. Healthy diet;

Whosoever that coined, "Variety is the spice of life" wasn't far from the truth as you are assumed to have a healthy diet only when you eat tasty and different kinds of foods, fruits, meats, and vegetables without limiting your diet to chicken breasts and rice alone or fruits alone and you don't eat too many sweetened foods that are bad for your health.

8. Vital foods;

There is no universal formula that can be used to calculate how many calories or vitamins you need, it's an individual thing. Everyone has their food desires and eats as much as their body requires of some essential foods. You can only eat very little or a lot more than other people, it doesn't matter, and you are still normal and perfectly healthy. The most important thing is to listen to your body and try to understand what it wants or doesn't want at a particular time.
