Health is something which is very subjective. It varies by different perspectives of how one measures their level of fitness. However, there are certain parameters which are constant. We are about to discuss some very generic concepts here in order to measure how healthy you really are. So read on to find out:-

1. Health hazards

– When you maintain general well-being, certain health difficulties such as common cold, cough, headache, back ache etc. are extremely infrequent. Thus, your normal routine is not hassled by these small health issues. However, even if you do fall prey to these common problems, you tend to recover pretty quickly indicating how strong your immunity system really is.

2. Energy Levels

– When you’re physically as well as mentally healthy, you tend not to feel tired and exhausted very easily. Your mood generally sways between happy to joyful, tolerable and maybe indifferent but definitely not tired, moody, cranky etc. too easily. When you are healthy you tend to take up new challenges with hope rather than despair. Basically, you are not a lazy-bum! (If you’d wish to see the electrifying and highest level of energy you could have ever witnessed, come to my signature event ‘Change Your Life’.)

3. Medication

– Do you have to take medication frequently? Or are you currently under directive medications? If so, it is indicative of some health inadequacy within you. This is the most obvious indicator of a lack of fitness. Sometimes people who are on medication are able to phase it out quickly. If you are one of those people then you are relatively healthy.

4. Workouts

– Are you the kind who works out regularly or at least three times a week? It is the most basal requirement for achieving a certain level of fitness. If you do so, then you might be healthier than you take credit for. Exercising regularly helps in preventing many chronic diseases and maintains good physical as well as mental stability.

5. Outdoors

– People who are healthier tend to feel the need to get out of the confines of their home and spend time outdoors amidst nature. It is reflective of better mood and mental health. It shows that you are free of stress and anxiety or are at least working towards becoming less stressed and anxious.

6. Personal Care

– Chapped lips, hair fall, excessively dry or oily skin, pimples etc. and other seemingly generic symptoms are indicative of a lack of personal care. Thus, your body is indicative of your health if you look at just basic signs like skin, hair etc. For example, excessively dry skin could be indicative of a lack of Vitamin C and other nutrients in your body. Look for these signs and analyse for yourself.

7. Insomnia

– Do you have sleep difficulties or in worst cases are nocturnal and an insomniac? If so, you NEED to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist in order to talk about any issues that you may be facing internally. All of us have personal battles to fight, but it should not be given so much importance so as to not let you fall asleep. It is indicative of high-levels of mental distress and will ultimately drain out vital nutrients from your body as well.

8. People

– Are you someone who is in constant touch with a lot of people on a daily basis and are really happy about it? Healthier people are happier and tend to really like having people around them and love making new friends & meeting new people. If you are not a people’s person (by choice) then there might be something wrong and you need to figure out why. However, it is absolutely normal to keep a safe distance from some people or to dislike certain kinds of people. But I am hoping you don’t hate humanity as a whole? Or do you?

9. Diet

– What do you tend to eat in a day? Is it rich in various nutrients or are you filling yourself up with a lot of junk and outside food on a regular basis? Because if you are following a lifestyle which promotes the latter then you are healthy only in your head! Health starts from within and good, enriching food is extremely essential; especially with growing age! I personally share some of my secrets of eating right and exercising in one of my most powerful courses ‘Ultimate Life’ which is a 4-days residential camp.

10. Other Habits

– There is no need for me to stress on this any further, but hurtful habits like smoking, drinking excessive alcohol etc. is undoubtedly indicative of poor health – whether you realize this or not is different but you are becoming more susceptible to mortal danger with every new cigarette you smoke or another dink that you consume.
