Living a healthy lifestyle helps prevent chronic diseases

STORY By SAMUEL MOKOMBA

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. First and foremost, you do not have to force yourself into intense workouts at the gym but you need to 
keep as active as possible. You can stick to easy floor exercises, swimming, walking or simply keep yourself moving by doing some household chores. Do what your body allows you to do.
Don't strain yourself to get fit. Do what your body allows.

What is important is that you continue exercising. Give at least twenty-three to thirty minutes a day to exercise at least three to five times a week. Have a routine, see to it that you have enough physical activity each day.

Secondly a positive attitude can boost your energy, heighten your inner strength, inspire others and fortify you to meet difficult challenges. 

Advice on aerobic, flexibility, strength training and balance exercises help manage and reduce peripheral neuropathy symptoms. Research has shown that strengthening exercises for peripheral neuropathy moderately improves muscle
strength in people with peripheral neuropathy. In addition, exercises to help peripheral neuropathy when done regularly, may reduce neuropathic pain and can help control blood sugar levels.

A comprehensive physical activity routine includes four kinds of activities; aerobic exercises, flexibility, strengthtraining exercise and balance exercise.

In humans, the immune response primarily comes from active immunity, in which antibodies are produced within the body. In addition to immune cells, other components include physical barriers such as the skin, physiological barriers such as the skin, saliva, stomach acid, 
and complement proteins.

Thirdly, healthy lifestyle choices such as consuming a nutritious diet, following a regular steep schedule, minimizing stress, and avoiding unhealthy habits such as smoking can strengthen immunity and reduce the probability of suffering from certain conditions. 

In addition to plant and animal–based foods, water has a vital role in boosting immunity. Staying hydrated keeps mucous membranes moist, cells oxygenated and various systems functioning. Toxins are carried to the kidneys and then the urinary tract before being expelled from the body, whereas dehydration could lead to them building up in the body and causing ilness.Drinking sufficient quantities of water can also prevent urinary tract infections by stopping kidney stones formation. 

Fourth, good nutrition is often the first line of defense to avoid many diseases including peripheral neuropathy. The best way to prevent peripheral neuropathy is to carefully manage any medical condition that puts you at risk. That means controlling blood sugar levels if you have diabetes or talking to your doctor about safe and effective treatments. Drink alcohol responsibly. 

Whether or not you have a medical condition, eat a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
