blog 3: A healthy lifestyle

Hello everybody!

Today I’m going to tell you through the blog about a healthy lifestyle. First of all I would like to say that this is a topic very important because nowadays there are a lot of diseases related with an unhealthy lifestyle. In these days I think that is harder to have a healthy lifestyle, with all the technology that we have, now everything is easier and handier than before. Things are designed to be fast and disposable, for example, people don’t cook anymore, they buy fast food. People don’t go up the stairways, they use the elevator.

All these advances have done of us lazy people with an unhealthy lifestyle. So ¿What is a healthy lifestyle? Well, it consists in feed with a balanced diet, eating food of all the food groups but with different proportions, following the food pyramid. Also it consists in to do exercise at least 3 times at the week. It seems very easy, but we know that around 90% of the population is sedentary and almost the 50% are overweight and obese.

Like future health professional we have to educate the community in healthy lifestyles mainly people with a low social class, because in these people sedentary and obesity are increased. Furthermore healthy lifestyle means all the actions that help us to have a healthy life, for example and from the point of view of my career, to use condom is very important to prevent some sexual transmission infections. So a healthy lifestyle covers everything related with a healthy life, not only food and exercises.
