There are four basic things that we need to live a healthy life, not including food, water, and air. These four basic survival needs are the staples of life. Unfortunately, many of us tend to take one or more of them for granted. When we do this, the quality of our lives suffers and we live under less than desirable conditions. Our health suffers, we let stress get the better of us, and if we are not careful, we die at a much earlier date than we should have. These four imperative needs are,

– A healthy diet
– Exercise
– Sleep
– Reason

Eat Right For Mental And Physical Health

It is understood that we need to eat reasonably healthy foods in order to enjoy life to its fullest. Food provides energy and the right foods help us to stave off illness and disease. We need to feed our bodies\’ vegetables and fruit, and a wide variety of foods to maintain a healthy immune system and keep our bodies functioning at peak capacity. The food we eat also fuels our minds. We often forget that the right foods are just as important to our mental health as they are to the physical.

Interesting Activities Make Life Healthy And Fun

Everyone needs some form of exercise to maintain our bodies and, again, perform at peak capacity. Exercise is also vital, like food, for our immune system and healthy organs. However, exercise provides another important function that many of us tend to forget. Exercise is fun. I am not necessarily talking about any specific kind of exercise, like weight lifting for strength or jogging for cardio. It’s the exercise found in the activities that we enjoy and that keep life interesting. Finding a healthy hobby is just as important as any food that we can consume.

Sleep Your Way To Better Health

Sleep is another huge part of healthy living. Many people barely sleep at all because they do not want to spend a third of their life lying around missing it. However, the one thing that we forget is that without sleep, we are more than likely cutting our life short. Much shorter than the time we would lose sleeping. Besides, if you are going to enjoy life and have the energy to do the things that make life worth living, we will need plenty of rest.

A Reason To Live

Finally, we need a reason or, to be more specific, we need the will or desire to live. It is important that we have something to look forward to every day, whether that is patriotism, a desire to do and see this word of ours, or the most important thing that spices our lives, family. To love and be loved is one of the most important activities in life. We are not just talking about the love between a man and a woman, we need to form and enjoy friendships. We live to spend time with our children and honoring our parents. People who need people are not the loneliest people in the world; they are the sanest people who know the value of love, life, and laughter. The ability to enjoy each other is one of the healthiest things that we can do to live long, enriched lives.
