Healthy Living for All
How our Khandelwal Samaj fraternity can improve or augment actions in their life to have a healthy lifestyle!
It is not meant to be all inclusive but will include major components that are considered to be parts of a lifestyle that lead to good health. Many of the KDF active members are prominent Doctors and related to Health Sector. Thus, linkages with them for healthy living, sharing information/ tips about avoiding actions (the don'ts) that lead to unhealthy living is an important work agenda of KDF.
"Healthy Living" to most people means both physical and mental health are in balance or functioning well together in a person. In many instances, physical and mental health are closely linked, so that a change (good or bad) in one directly affects the other. Thus, the focus will be emotional and mental "healthy living."
All humans have to eat food for growth and maintenance of a healthy body, but we humans have different requirements as infants, children (kids), teenagers, young adults, adults, and seniors. For example, infants may require feeding every four hours until they gradually age and begin to take in more solid foods. Eventually they develop into the more normal pattern of eating three times per day as young kids. However, as most parents know, kids, teenagers, and young adults often snack between meals. Snacking is often not limited to these age groups because adults and seniors often do the same.
