According to science, happiness is directly linked to physical well-being; We separate some tips to live well!
In 2012 the United Nations (UN) established the International day of Happiness, celebrated on March 20. The date is an idealized day for thinking about joint actions in order to ensure the full happiness of the population. Society’s lifestyle is currently focused on continuous productivity, promoting disease, so it is necessary to encourage a lifestyle and consumption that promotes more well-being and happiness.
For the psychiatrist Alexander Valverdehappiness is related to self-responsibility.
“Happiness comes through a path of self-knowledge. I need to look at my life and reflect on how I take care of myself and how I can improve. And the science of happiness has shown that self-knowledge, development personal, and self-care are ways to build more happiness and well-being,” reports the practitioner with a master’s degree in contemporary philosophy from the University of Paris-1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
Furthermore, for the specialist, happiness can be found in different places: in sport, in a hobby, in culture, in gastronomy, among others, but for this the biochemistry of the body must be in balance.
“If you have a nutritionally healthy and physically active body, your chances of finding happiness in everyday things will be even more certain, since it is these biochemical balances in the body that control our vital activities, especially our brains, and it is the brain that will identify happiness in our daily actions”, explains.
We have put together three nutritional pillars that will help you stay in control of your body’s biochemistry and are built alongside nutrition, seeking happiness as the end product:
1. Exercise regularly
Anyone who has gone through a period in which they didn’t eat well, whether due to the daily rush or due to bad habits, knows that having the energy to practice physical activity is one of the greatest difficulties.
Therefore, maintaining nutritional balance to have the strength to move the body is essential, especially for those in professions that consume a lot of physical or mental energy. Certain vitamins, such as the B-complex, are essential for this, especially in energy production, calorie expenditure and maintenance of the nervous system.
2. Sleep well
According to the WHO, 40% of the population suffers from sleep disorders. On the other hand, a good night’s sleep is essential to ensure physical well-being, while also helping to reduce the incidence of disease. The sleep hormone, called melatonin, provides near complete rest and recovery to the body, as well as helping maintain daily disposition, promoting other benefits such as reducing anxiety and stress and boosting the immune system.
3. Take care of immunity
Several factors can lower our immunity, from a stressful routine to excessive sugar consumption. High levels of stress have been linked to worsening cardiovascular disease and the onset of mental health problems.
Components such as vitamins C, D, E, selenium and zinc help in the effects of free radicals, strengthening bone structure, nervous and immune system as a whole, further increasing the strength of our body.
Happiness is a construction that brings together a number of factors. In order for it to be found in small things, it is necessary to guarantee a balance between nutrition and movement, linking it to cultural and social issues that can guarantee the effects of the feeling of well-being for each individual.
