The Importance of Maintaining Health

According to the research results of the National Health and Morbidity

Survey (2016), the percentage of Malaysians with diabetes is 17.5%, high
blood pressure is 30%, high cholesterol is 47%, obesity is 17% and
overweight is 40%. This problem shows the improper diet and lifestyle of
Malaysians. Activities to create awareness should be carried out more
actively at school level.
Being healthy should be part of your overall lifestyle. Living a healthy
lifestyle can help prevent chronic diseases and long-term
illnesses. Feeling good about yourself and taking care of your health are
important for your self-esteem and self-image. Maintain a healthy lifestyle
by doing what is right for your body.
The importance of maintaining health and the importance of reducing
stress is linked to the importance of maintaining a positive mental attitude
and the importance of reducing or eliminating the amount of physical
energy we expend through activities such as exercise and eating properly.
It is important to maintain or develop a sense of balance by regulating
the emotions that we experience on a day-to-day basis. Managing and
controlling our anger is an essential part of maintaining good physical
energy levels. The more positive energy we have the easier it is to manage
stress. In order to manage our emotions, we must learn to relax, meditate,
go for a walk or some other kind of exercise.
Exercise is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle and the importance
of maintaining health and keeping fit is increasingly being recognized. An
exercise program is very effective in reducing stress. People who workout
regularly have less tension and stress, which makes them more productive
and happier. A healthy diet and a low intake of fat and sugar and low
intake of salt and sugar have been proven to reduce the risk of heart
disease and cardiovascular diseases. Maintaining a healthy weight has
also proven to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cancer.
