Your health and wellness matters! - Part 8

Hello great people!

Greetings from Laquinne Health and Wellness Hub!

SIGNS TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE HEALTHY AND WELL.

1. The skin around your eyes and hands are not too thin - The appearance and feel of skin around your eyes and the back of your hands are a tell-tale sign of the state of your general health. These are the thinnest skin areas, and therefore, the first to show signs of atrophy (thinning) and freckles. Healthy skin will look bright, without prominent blood vessels or mottled colour.

2. Your teeth are strong - Strong teeth also show signs of a healthy body. If you are stressed out, anxious or depressed, you may be at higher risk for poor oral health, clenching or grinding teeth and other ailments.”

3. Your blood pressure is 119/79 or lower - Blood pressure is easy to measure and says a great deal about your health especially your heart and arteries. If blood pressure is high, it can be brought under good control with a healthy lifestyle and medications.

4. Exercise! Exercise!! Exercise!!!
Want to feel better, have more energy and even add years to your life? Just exercise. The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. Everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of age, gender, or physical ability. Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns, such as stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, depression, anxiety, cancer, arthritis, falls etc.

Just exercise!!!

SIGNS TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE HEALTHY AND WELL.

1. Your skin bounces back when you pinch it - The kidneys are responsible for water balance in the body. Quick tests of skin turgor to reveal bloating is helpful. Pinch the skin on the top of your hand or press the skin of the ankles or calves. It should return to normal quickly.
Delayed bounce back is a sign of dehydration. Conversely, a prolonged depression of the lower legs is a physical sign of fluid overload from kidney, heart or liver problems.

2. You usually get a restful night’s sleep - This is one of the most important signs of your health. It reflects normal blood pressure, absence of obstructive breathing, and absence of gastroesophageal reflux disorder—GERD. It also indicates normal breathing at night which is crucial for long-term health.

3. You have a lot of saliva - Saliva is responsible for naturally balancing the PH level in your mouth and cleaning your teeth. When you make a lot of saliva, you are less likely to suffer from tooth decay.

4. Your jaw doesn’t click when you open wide - The hinge in your jaw should not click or pop upon opening. If you have clicking or popping in the joint, I would ask you about migraines or frequent headaches.
When the jaw is in a posterior position, it can lead to compression of the joint and compression of the muscles. By bringing the jaw forward and decompressing it, you can get relief from migraines, headaches, and an overall better quality of life.

Your health and wellness matters! - Part 6

Hello great people!

Greetings from Laquinne Health and Wellness Hub!

SIGNS TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE HEALTHY AND WELL.

1. You feel satisfied when you eat - Many people are very concerned with controlling their eating or restricting their portions. This leaves them unsatisfied and more prone to overeating later in the day or in the week. Satisfaction with meals suggests you’re good at including enjoyable foods. People who eat foods they enjoy tend to have a healthier relationship with food and exercise control on eating junks.

2. You can do everyday tasks with ease - Are you able to climb the staircase without gasping for breath, walk up a hill without stopping? Can you carry a bag of groceries without feeling fainty? Can you touch your toes? Can you balance on one foot without holding onto something? Can you squat all the way down and stand back up without holding on to anything? If your answer is ‘yes’—then these are all healthy signs!

3. You p**p at least once a day - What you put into your body is important, but so is also what comes out. Not having a daily bowel movement could be a sign of something that is off in your digestive process. Examples could be a deficiency in magnesium, not properly digesting or absorbing nutrients, or even emotional stress.

4. Your joints don’t hurt when you move -Joint, bone, and muscle health is essential to an active lifestyle. What you want is pain-free motion. Another sign of a healthy joint is a full range of motion. Joints that do not move through their full motion are signalling a problem.

5. Your urine is clear - The simplest marker for your kidney’s health is your urine. The kidneys keep the electrolytes in the body in balance by filtering out excess and waste. Clear urine is a good sign that you are well hydrated. Foamy urine or blood in the urine indicates damage to the kidneys and should prompt a visit to your doctor.

6. Your tongue is pink - Look out for a light red or pinkish hue with a thin white coat and no tooth-marking or discoloration. Any other colours or coatings can be an indication that you have a dysfunction or imbalance in your body. This will show up in your tongue.

Hello great people!

Greetings from Laquinne Health and Wellness Hub!

SIGNS TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE HEALTHY AND WELL.

1. Your face is full-looking - The fullness or roundness of the facial soft tissues is generally a youthful and healthy sign. In contrast, when in ill, dehydrated, and undernourished, the skin can lose its natural supple, look sunken and sagging.

2. Your eyes are clear - The eyes can reveal many things about your general health and psychological state to show whether they are well rested or tired, bright, and energetic, or sad and depressed. The eyes may be white and clear or bloodshot or yellow, indicating the possibility of minor or serious illness.

3. Your body fat percentage is normal - The most important sign of daily health is body fat percentage. Directionally, as your body fat gets bigger, it means your body is accumulating more fat tissue than lean tissue, such as muscle. Body fat impacts your metabolism, blood sugar balance, movement, momentum, and emotional well-being.

4. You make time to be active – There is no substitute for physical activity. It benefits every part of your body. It burns off excess body fat, improves circulation to your muscles and extremities, lowers bad cholesterol and raises good cholesterol, increases oxygen to all the muscles and organs, helps you sleep better, and it even improves your regularity. Your heart is a muscle. It doesn’t need to be beefy, just strong. Exercise and physical activity do all of that.

5. You pay attention to what you eat - Do you eat enough vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and dietary calcium sources? Get enough of these foods and you will be guaranteed of a healthy eating diet.

6. You have healthy gums - One sign that your body is doing well is a healthy gum tissue. That means your gums are not inflamed, they don’t bleed easily, and they have normal texture and colour. Normal gum tissue is firm, pyramidal between teeth, and uniformly follows the curved edge of the tooth.

SIGNS TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE HEALTHY AND WELL.
Here are top indicators from medical professionals of their five-star seals of sound, strong health, and wellness.

Do a quick assessment of yours and find out where you fall into.
Learn, unlearn, and re-learn!

Happy Assessment!

1. You have thick hair and strong nails - Thinning hair, brittle, or cracked nails, are usually a sign of hidden nutritional deficiencies such as lack of iron, vitamin D, and other key nutrients.

2. Lots of energy - If you rise out of bed each morning, ready to face the day, you are likely doing well. Many illnesses and vitamin deficiencies can leave you sluggish, lacking energy and fatigued.

3. You rarely have headaches, and when you do, they don’t last long – We all have headaches at one point or the other. They could be occasioned stress, or tense muscle system, and are normal. In a healthy person, they pass in time and do not linger. An occasional migraine or other headache is not uncommon, but headache becomes continuous, and medications no longer work, then it could be a sign of state of unwellness.

4. Your circulation is good - With good circulation, you might sometimes fall asleep and get that ‘pins and needles’ feeling which clears up fairly quickly. It may occur with sitting or lying in an odd position. However, if tingling, numbness, or weakness endures, it may signal compression of a nerve—often called a pinched nerve. Do not ignore prolonged symptoms.

5. You have fresh breath -The smell of your breath is a large clue into your overall health, since much of your immune function takes place in the gut. Fresh breath is a good indication that your gut health is balanced.

6. Your skin looks healthy - The skin is the largest organ of the human body. The state of your skin on the face and the neck region not only reflects your genetic characteristics and health, but also reflects the impact of your environmental factors. The colour of skin should be even toned.

Hello great people!

Greetings from Laquinne Health and Wellness Hub.

It no surprise that most people are indecisive when it comes to their healthy living lifestyles. With increase in avoidable diseases and sicknesses as well as access to affordable healthy choices, it has become more important to take care of yourself.

WHY YOUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS IMPORTANT.

Living a healthy lifestyle such as eating healthy, exercising, avoiding junk will not only extend your life, rejuvenate your skin and hair but also improve your overall well-being. It will help you to feel better physically and mentally.

Healthy habits are hard to develop and require changing of your mindset. However, a strong will power, and target goal will help you to follow a healthy lifestyle.

Are you presenting with health issues such as persistent chronic headache, overweight, mood swings, diseases, low stamina, and dull appearance? Healthy living plays an important role in your overcoming all these issues.

The state of your health and wellness impacts on how far you can achieve in life. Your wellness is a goal you must work hard to achieve to avert the unwanted.

Managing chronic health conditions, lowering your blood pressure, controlling diabetes, overcoming arthritis, or losing weight are some of examples of health and wellness goals you may desire.

Today, chronic diseases, like hypertension and type 2 diabetes, are on the rise and majorly due to unhealthy eating habits and increased weight gain.

You must be guided that wellness is more than just being free from illness, it is all about your resilience to maintain an intentional change and growth that lasts for a lifetime.

It encompasses the overall balance of your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Wellness is not an end to be achieved but a lifestyle that you must adopt.

If you must live to achieve those laudable dreams of yours, maintaining an optimal level of wellness is crucial to your living a higher of quality life.

I believe you want to know more about how this is possible.

You are in health when your body is free of sicknesses and disease such as heart diseases, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis asthma, stoke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, anxiety and so on.
