What are the factors contributing to good health?
There are many factors that contribute to "General Heath". There are the obvious features we hear about all the time: exercise, good food, plenty of water and good lifestyle choices, such as not smoking. But there are many other aspects to good health and well being that you might not necessarily think of straight away.
Don't you feel better after a good night's sleep, or a nice warm shower?
That's because getting enough sleep and taking care of our hygiene are both serious contributors when it comes to achieving good general health. Also regular checkups at the doctor, clean healthy teeth, gums and mouth, plenty of sunshine and fresh air, time to relax and socialise with friends and enjoy time with the family. These aspects of our life all help contribute to a good mental state, so we are happy, confident, positive and ready to tackle anything that comes our way - good or bad. Put it all together with good eating habits and plenty of exercise and you have the foundation of good general health.

Identifying Stress
Stress is something we all encounter. Life changes, such as moving house, getting married or coping with a bereavement, can all cause it, while negative social conditions, such as unemployment, poor housing, noisy neighbours, relationship problems and difficulties at work, can also contribute. However, stress also has a positive side. A certain level of stress may be necessary and enjoyable in order to spark us into action. Stress means different things to different people. A situation that is intolerable to one person may be stimulating to another. What you feel is determined not just by events and changes in the outside world, but how you perceive and respond to them. The important point is that you can learn to recognise your own responses to stress and, if necessary, develop skills to deal with it. Be active If you have a stress-related problem, physical activity can get you in the right state of mind to be able to identify the causes of your stress and find a solution. Exercise won’t make your stress disappear, but it will reduce some of the emotional intensity that you’re feeling, clearing your thoughts and enabling you to deal with your problems more calmly. Accept the things you can't change Changing a difficult situation isn't always possible. If this proves to be the case, recognise and accept things as they are and concentrate on everything that you do have control over. |
Stress can affect us in many different ways and the level of stress response and how we cope with it, will be different for everybody
