What Is Health?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Physical health: Good body function and lifestyle, such as balanced diet, regular exercise, good personal hygiene, sufficient rest and sleep, limiting alcohol use, and avoiding smoking and drug abuse.
Mental health: Optimistic and cheerful mood, able to cope with stress and actively face difficulties, and willing to share with others and express one's feelings.
Social health: Establish a good relationship with people, participate in wholesome activities, and broaden individual's social circle and horizons.

"Subhealth” is a new terminology appears in recent years. It is "a state between health and disease when all necessary physical and chemical indexes are tested negative by medical equipments.”
In true, most people are lying at the subhealth state and this population is as high as 75%. Actually, it is a reversible state; we can back to healthy state if appropriate actions are taken, or suffer from diseases when the situation got worse. It is always easier for us to become healthy from subhealth other than taking a long way to store health from disease. More importantly, some disease and its corresponding treatments may bring irreversible damage to our body.
Risk factors of sub-health include "Six High & One Low", that is, high load (mental and physical), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, high weight, and low immunity.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
Thus, we should live in a healthy way immediately by:
- Balance diets and sufficient nutrients intake
- Enough rest and plenty of sleep

How to stay Healthy

Human body is certainly a masterpiece of nature that we were born with immunity and self-healing ability. Though our body complexities cannot be fully understood, health scientists have found out the major factors affecting our health, generally speaking, can be categorized as follows. 
-Medical Conditions-8%
-Heredity-15%
-Environment-17%
-Lifestyle-60%

Out of the four factors, lifestyle counts the most. Also, it is the only factor that we can alter. If we continually practice damaging or self-defeating lifestyles, we will suffer from recurrent and chronic health problems along with frequent clinic visit, lifetime drug companion, and occasional hospitalization and surgery. 
Thus, we should live in a healthy way immediately by:
- Balance diets and sufficient nutrients intake
- Enough rest and plenty of sleep 
- Encourage variety of interests
- Ease the pressure and stress 
- Selection of natural health supplement from reliable brands

Why take Supplements

Ten reasons to consider supplementing your diet with high-quality nutrients:

1. Current commercial agriculture techniques leave soil deficient in important minerals, causing the food grown in this soil to share the same mineral deficiencies.

2. Many foods are shipped long distances and are stored for long periods of time, both of which cause the depletion of vitamins in these foods, including the important B-complex and C vitamins.
3. Food processing, cooking, and preserving leads to nutrient depletion in our food supply that makes it difficult to obtain adequate nutrition from foods alone.

4. Many fruits and vegetables are genetically bred to improve visual appeal and crop yields, not nutritional value, which frequently results in lesser nutritional values than our ancestors’ food supply.

5. Erratic eating habits, insufficient chewing of food, eating on the run, and stress contribute to poor digestion, making it difficult for our bodies to extract all the nutrients it needs from food.

6. Pharmaceutical drug use has escalated over time. Most medications deplete essential nutrients, making people more vulnerable to deficiencies.

7. Specific times in life and health conditions may result in higher needs of certain nutrients. For example, folic acid needs tend to be higher during pregnancy, while menopausal women may be vulnerable to calcium deficiencies.

8. Increasing levels of environmental pollution in our air, water and food may cause our bodies to use more nutrients than normal to detoxify and eliminate harmful substances. This is especially true of the antioxidant vitamins, some of which include: the “ACE Vitamins:” Vitamins A, C, and E.

9. We all have genetic weaknesses, including higher needs of some nutrients, higher rates of depletion for certain nutrients, and an increased likelihood of genetic expression of some illnesses if vitamin or mineral deficiencies are present.

10. Many nutrients have been proven to prevent or aid in the treatment of health conditions like high cholesterol, arthritis, birth defects, and cancer.

Fruits and their Benefits

We all know fruits are extremely healthy and that you cannot really go wrong when consuming any kind of fruit. However, there is a top list of healthy fruits. The fruits placed at the very top of the list are called “superfruits”. Nutritionists call them superfruits because they have more vitamins, antioxidants, fibers and minerals than most of the other fruits. It is believed that people who regularly consume these superfruits live longer, look better and are overall healthier than most other people. Superfruits are quite varied, so there are high chances of you being able to easily find them in your local store. Superfruits should be consumed as they are, and they should not be processed in any way. By processing any kind of food, you make sure they lose most of their nutrients. It’s best if you buy and eat your fruit fresh.
ACAI BERRIES  These superfruits are packed with antioxidants. Acai berries have a higher level of antioxidants than similar superfruits such as strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. However, since acai berries come from Brazil, they can rarely be found fresh. However, whenever you see acai berries in your local market, make sure you buy plenty to last for a few days.
APPLES  The common apple is actually a superfruit! Apples are a great source of fiber and antioxidants. The apple skin contains a special kind of antioxidant, called quercetin, which functions as an antihistamine. Also, quercetin has anti-inflamatory properties, which means it can protect you from various heart disease and even allergies. A study revealed that people who eat at least five apples each week, have healthier lungs compared to people who don’t consume apples.
BLUEBERRIES  These superfruits have significant beneficial effect on the function of the brain and memory. The high levels of flavonoid found in blueberries is linked to better memory. Another quality for these superfruits is the presence of manganese. Manganese plays a major part in the proper function of our metabolism. Blueberries can therefore help us remain fit and energized.
CANTALOUPE  The reason why the cantaloupe is a superfruit is its high concentration of Vitamin A. A regular consumption of this superfruit can make your skin look radiant and young for a longer time. Vitamin A is known for boosting healthy cell reproduction.
GRAPES  The reason why grapes make it on the superfruits list is because of a special antioxidant, called resveratrol, which has a beneficial effect on heart functioning. Also, the malic acid found in grapes naturally cleans teeth. However, you should choose ripe grapes, because the levels of malic acid decrease as time goes by.
ORANGES  Oranges are rich in Vitamin C, and this is the main reason why they are considered superfruits. A single medium sized orange has enough Vitamin C to cover your daily need. Vitamin C keeps the immune system up and running. It is also a great source of fiber, potassium and calcium.
POMEGRANATE  These fruits truly deserve to be named superfruits. Pomegranate juice has the highest levels of antioxidants, compared to any other fruit.
STRAWBERRIES  These superfruits also have high levels of Vitamin C. They are a great source of folic acid, which means they are healthy for the heart. Strawberries can also whiten teeth naturally. If you mix strawberries with backing soda, an put it on your teeth for five minutes, you will see the difference. You can do it once a week.
PUMPKIN It might come as a surprise for you, but pumpkins are fruits as well. In fact they are superfruits. They are packed with beta-carotena and potassium. The consumption of pumpkin and pumpkin seeds is good for preventing high blood pressure.
WATERMELON  The reason why the watermelon is placed on the superfruits list is the fact that it contains lycopene, vitamin A and vitamin C. It is also very low in calories. Fruits which contain lycopene are believed to play a major role in preventing cancer.
As you can see, most of the superfruits on this list aren’t really hard to come by. Specialists and nutritionists recommend that superfruits be an essential part of your daily diet because they help your body stay fit and young, and help your mind keep up with all the hassles of the average day. Superfruits can be consumed with yogurt and a bit of sugar in case you’re not a fan of fruits or don’t like things too sour. At the same time, you can eat them with ice cream, crepes and pies. No matter how you eat them, superfruits will have a great impact on your life and well-being and you should notice these changes after a week or so. Go dig in!
