ABC’s Of Staying Healthy

Staying healthy requires a lot of thinking and self

reflection to be successful. With a longer life

expectancy of human beings as compared to pre-modern

age, people have been ore vigilant to think about and

create ways to even extend the lives of everyone

existing. Numerous mnemonics and acronyms have been

developed as well by nutritionists and scientists to

help people have a guide on how to stay healthy. One

of these would be the ABC’s of staying healthy, a very

simple, yet effective way of adding to the long list

of patterns to keep healthy.



A Is For Abstinence



“A” stands for abstinence. Most probably many would

already be thinking that this seems like the same ABC

tip for responsible sex. Though the keywords used in

the ABC’s of staying healthy are similar except for

the last one, the ideas are completely in a different

context as this would specifically target more of a

person’s lifestyle in everyday living.



Abstinence should be practiced by the person in

declining the things that would not make him healthy

in the process. Unless it is required such as a career

that would limit the choice to either quit the job or

to counter the effects with good health practices,

abstinence on a great level is required of the person

should he wish to start staying healthy and maintain

being healthy. Abstinence should be the basis of any

individual to serve as a disciplinary concept. Without

the discipline to know when to say no, it would prove

difficult to stay away from the things that people

have learned to love.



B Is For Be Faithful



“B” stands for “Be Faithful”. Being faithful is being

able to hold out and maintain focus on your objective

of staying healthy. It does not mean that you totally

become a no-nonsense robot who only distinguishes a

black from white, but being lenient is a risky thing

to inculcate. Though it is not really to bend the

rules from time to time because of valid reasons, it

may develop into a nasty habit of having an excuse for

every single choice that should have been for staying

healthy.



C Is For Calisthenics



Calisthenics or exercise is and has always been part

of any healthy program designed for health conscious

and health seekers alike. Calisthenics does not

necessarily mean the rigorous training that one sees

in advertisements and magazines. Those are for

bodybuilders who would want to reshape their bodies

into hard sculptured specimens of humanity.

Calisthenics are simple activities which would allow

one’s self to move about and permit the proper flow of

blood to the different parts of the body for optimal

oxygenation of the cells.



Calisthenics should be done everyday for at least

thirty to forty-five minutes which includes mainly

aerobic exercise. Not only does daily calisthenics

improve the cardiovascular flow of the body, it also

adds up to the amount of calories to be burned for the

day to maintain the desired body weight and fitness

level.



The ABC’s of staying healthy is a very elementary

concept for anyone to grasp should they wish to seek a

better health state or maintain an already good one.

It is a personal choice as it is a personal endeavor.

The extent of its success lies on the amount of effort

that the individual puts in each letter of this simple
