"Medical Talk WK 1 - Healthy Habits Vs Unhealthy Habits"

Source

Good day everyone, hope you all are doing just great today? I saw this contest and I couldn't just get pass because it has to do with my day to day daily daily living as well as improving my health, I have seen beautiful entries and I can't agree less that most people are really doing what they can to stay healthy.

So, to start with, I will say Healthy Habits refers to those things we do daily to improve/enhance our individual health vice versa. Somehow, inorder to stay healthy, we just have to put up a daily routine we do in order to keep fit, this is what the healthy habits is all about.

I am always intentional about my health that is why I don't joke with whatever keeps me fit, and to some people that sees the diaries I share everyday, I don't joke with pushups, since I am a sales representative, I have little to no time visiting the gym, that is why I opt to pushup every morning, first thing I do after my morning prayers before leaving the bedroom. I started this during the COVID-19 period and till date I haven't skip a day, currently I can do pushup at home over 30 turns.

Secondly, after work, instead of taking a cab immediately back home, I do stroll for a distance before taking a cab, this helps relax my leg muscles and prevent elephantiasis. I have been doing this over time and it has been of help to me for a very long period of time now.

There are several habits that poses threat to our health living and I will be sharing but a few here;

• Smoking

• Eating food that contains too much calories

• Eating half cooked food

• Abusing Drugs

• Taking excessive alcohol

• Excessive work without break/rest

• Eating late at night

These and many more habits that only aims at destroying us could be seen as unhealthy habits.

During the COVID-19, I always go on road walk every blessed morning, but before then I had so much weight that if I could walk a distance, I will feel so tired but when I started jogging, the result was just too lovely as I had lost so much weight that I became very healthy and fit.

During that period, I could jog from my house to the town plaza without getting tired compared to when I had occupied so much weight that I couldn't even walk 100 meters without feeling exhausted.

I remember when I started this job newly, I was always filled with the excuse of "I am closing late" so I had to be eating late, little did I know that I was biting my health really hard, it got to a point that I even had to eat by 12am, sometimes 1am.

Before I could get to know what happened, I was adding much weight, the exercise I do every morning was not yielding anything, secondly, I had to face indigestion issue. I spent so much money treating myself, but thank God I was able to get pass that.

Permit me to invite @uduak01, @emily08 and @million12 to participate in this contest.
