The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recently released a new plan for preventing and controlling the spread of infectious diseases in the United States. While people have often associated CDC with curbing disease, it also focuses on healthy living through nutrition and exercise. In fact, the name Centers actually stands for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as centres of excellence in public health practice, education, and research.
Consider your well being
Most people value their health and well-being, but it’s easy to be overwhelmed by choices when you look at all of your options. Where do you begin with your journey to healthy living at home? The answer, in many cases, can be found by visiting local centres and facilities that offer valuable services and information. Centres help you make sense of a confusing topic; they’re able to give you guidance on a wide range of health-related issues—all while providing answers you can count on. Their experience helps ease your worries so that, one day soon, healthy living becomes a natural part of life for everyone in your family.
Lifestyle choices are important
Making healthy living choices at home can give you some sense of control over your health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that we spend 90% of our time indoors, so it’s vital to put as much thought into healthy living in our homes as we do with what we put in our bodies. For example, you might choose to start out by making sure all surfaces are cleaned regularly, especially around any food preparation areas and where children might play. Cleaning supplies should be easy to access (and safely stored) so your family can get right on task after dinner each night.
Managing Stress
Stress is defined as a feeling of being overwhelmed and tense that can cause you to feel rushed, stressed out and anxious. These feelings are detrimental to our health because they can lead to poor eating habits, poor sleeping habits and poor working habits. In addition to these negative impacts on our health, it can also lead us into engaging in risky behaviours such as drug or alcohol abuse. This is why managing stress properly is essential for overall healthy living at home. One way you can reduce stress and keep yourself healthy at home is by creating a personal stress management plan.
Enjoy your life and live it fully
Our centres focus on all aspects of your health and well-being, including chronic pain, heart disease, women’s health, sleep issues and much more. Our goal is to help you enjoy your life and live it fully—and to provide compassionate support so you can overcome any challenges that may arise along the way. But healthy living doesn’t begin with a visit to our centre; it begins with you—in fact, we think it begins long before that. Healthy living starts in childhood as parents teach their children how important nutrition and fitness are; healthy living continues into adulthood as adults continue leading a physically active lifestyle; healthy living culminates at the Center for Healthcare Services when we take care of people who are ageing or have a condition such as diabetes or cancer.
Get Enough Rest
When it comes to overall health, it's important to get enough rest. We all know that sleep is vital for our well-being and that sleeping too little or too much can have negative effects on our health. Poor sleep quality or not getting enough hours in per night can lead to everything from moodiness and anxiety to weight gain, diabetes and even depression. The Centers Plan for Healthy Living has created a healthy living catalogue with a variety of high-quality products designed specifically to help you optimize your health by helping you get plenty of restful sleep.
Remember physical activity makes you happier
Your mood has a tremendous impact on your overall health, and that’s why physical activity makes you happier. If you’re depressed or anxious, physical activity can improve your mental health by increasing neurotransmitters in your brain that promote positive feelings. Researchers have also found that people with lower levels of physical activity are twice as likely to have an episode of major depression compared to those who exercised regularly. If you live alone, consider getting a dog as they provide great companionship (just make sure it doesn't turn into a centripetal force!). Also try adding enjoyable activities like playing pool, skiing or taking dance classes to combat any empty nest syndrome you may be feeling when children go off to college.
Community engagement improves your well being
One tool to help promote healthy living in a community is the Healthy Living Catalog. The idea behind a Healthy Living Catalog comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that states through engagement with local government organizations, health and wellness goals are reached faster. Use of healthy living catalogues can be used in various settings such as city council meetings, neighbourhood meetings or even sporting events like half-marathons, marathons and bike races. Healthy living catalogues usually consist of healthy recipes and activities in which one can participate to get them active and bring them out of their homes. Community events where neighbours meet neighbours are also encouraged through these catalogues to build more community unity.[1] Communities become more healthy when people from diverse backgrounds work together towards common goals.
