KEEPING HEALTHY

The personal life and self-care choice we make greatly influence our health. Eating well, being active, feeling good about our self – these three keys elements work together to help us live a healthier, happier and active life.

HYGIENE- THE KEY TO A HEALTHY YOU

We might think habits are not important enough to pay much attention – but keeping clean is important if we want our body to be free of disease causing germs. Whether we have been playing, studying, working, shopping or visiting a friend, our hands will pick dirt from all around. If this gets into our food, it’s easy for germs to enter our body. Germs may also enter our body when someone sneezes or coughs near us. Covering our nose or mouth with a handkerchief or a tissue can prevent such infections from spreading.

DENTAL WISE

Our mouth is a battle ground!! Enemy is the plague that collects on our teeth. It destroys the outside of our teeth by sending out an army of acids. Then It sends poison to our gums. It’s easy to destroy this enemy with a simple weapon – our toothbrush. However, we must brush our teeth the right way and of course by avoiding sticky sweets and aerated drinks. We should have more natural – plague removers like carrots and apples!!

PHYSICAL FACTS

Physical activities are relaxing, strengthen our heart and lungs, increase energy levels, and help us maintain and achieve a healthy body weight – and improve outlook on life. We include some exercises in our daily routine like aerobic exercises, yoga, cycling or jogging. Even outdoor games like cricket, football, and badminton etc. provide good exercise to our body while we enjoy playing games.

EAT HEALTHY TO STAY HEALTHY

Eating well doesn’t mean giving up the food we love; it means choosing wisely from a variety of foods and choosing lower fat food more often. Vegetables are good for us. So can we stay healthy by eating only vegetables? No. we need to have a diet that contains all the nutrients in amounts required by our body. Check whether your food includes cereals, pulses, milk, milk products, vegetables, fruits, fats, sugars, eggs, meat and poultry.
