How can you stay healthy in an unhealthy world?

I run 2 to 4 miles per day, ride my bike dailey when weather allows. I feed my family a healthy diet with no red meats or faty meats(no beef,pork, etc.). We don't have cable so I hardly ever watch tv. I limit how often I have to go into town. We also grow or get as much produce from my parent's farm so I know it isn't sprayed with anything harmful to my family. My husband , kids, and I spend a lot of time outside and go hiking and for walks in the woods. We would rather be outside then inside.

I agree with your statements that nowadays, living in a modern world requires us to be flexible enough so that we can avoid different illnesses caused by different pollutions we have in our environment. Well I guess for us to avoid those illnesses we should not forget to take care of ourselves by eating a balance diet, take vitamins that can boost our immune system. Also, a simple 10-15 minutes of walk may also do as a simple exercise. We should be thankful for the modernization that our technologies brought to us. It makes our life more easier to accomplish task but sometimes modernization leads us human tend to forget that the most important above all is our health. So we should not forget to take care of it. Happy mylotting to everyone!

Pollution is in cities and towns. It is better to live in the countryside to get fresh air or near the ocean to get sea air. It is great to eat a healthy diet and I am a vegan. It is relaxing to have pets and I have two miniature poodle dogs. I think that walking by the sea and strolling in the countryside are healthy exercise. It is wise to get enough sunshine but not to get sun burnt on a hot day. I like to take vitamin pills like Iron, Vitamin B12, Omega and one a day for vegans.

yes, it is quite difficult to keep our health in an unhealthy world. however, we can do some things to minimize the hazards and threats to our health. at least we know that we should be extra careful in our activities to stay away from unhealthy ways. i do not smoke, but there are smokers all over. i am glad that it is now prohibited to smoke in public places. but the pollution is hard to evade. to compensate, i keep myself clean and take a bath after being out during the day.

Hi. You can stay healthy if you choose the right food, do your exercise and rid of vices. It's all in you.

It can be difficult to live healthy in an unhealthy world. Everywhere you look there are unhealthy options, and people touting quick cures for health problems that do not require time or commitment. Unhealthy lifestyles seem to be the big thing. However, health is not something you can buy, and it is not easily recovered if lost. So, learning to live healthy in an unhealthy world should be a goal. Here are a few tips: Get a support system in place. It is far easier to be healthy when you have a support system in place. Finding a group of friends to exercise with each day, or having your roommates, family, or spouse committed to healthier eating with you, etc. When you have a support system in place, you have someone to encourage you when you get discouraged, and you don't have people close to you tempting you to not do the things you want to do for a healthier existence. Get educated. The more you know about health, the easier it is to make healthy choices. Take the time to educate yourself about what you can do in your personal life to be healthier. For example, maybe you work in an office building with an elevator, you could take the stairs instead to be healthier. If you have to eat out for lunch, you can educate yourself about what is the healthiest option at your local food places, or educate yourself in ways to make basic options healthier. Learn about metabolic function, the benefits of exercise, how to reduce and eliminate stress, etc. The more you know, the easier it is. Take the simple steps first. Doing things like adding more water to your daily intake, and getting more rest are far easier than trying to force yourself to the gym each day, so start with the smaller things, and work your way up to the bigger. You can't expect for your whole life to change over night, as that takes a big commitment, so commit yourself, and adjust as necessary to help yourself stick to it. It is good to write out what changes you should make in your life for a healthier you, and then look for ways to incorporate them into your daily routine. For example, if you do not feel you have a lot of time for exercise, look for ways to add it in, park further away from work, run up the stairs to your apartment instead of walking, do crunches while you watch television, etc.

I don't think there is any way we can keep ourselves completely away from harmful things any more because there are too many everywhere. Pollution in the water, pollution in the air, too many electromagnetic fields and all sorts of high frequency waves in the air and in our bodies. Food is no longer nutritious as it naturally is unless you can afford to eat totally organic. Simple things like shampoo are laced with dangerous chemicals. The best we can do is not always enough, but we can keep trying. As you said, eat well, stay away from the pollution that you can. Also, drink enough clean water, get enough sleep and get enough exercise.

I don't know how to stay healthy in an unhealthy world, except try to eat right, sleep well, and exercise. For me, all these modernization we have today like computer, technology and automation are not consider as hazard to my health, it is the second hand smoke, pollutant from our energy industry, car and airplane, noises from factory and warehouses that are the real health risk i need to deal with effectively before my health-being can be destroyed totally. I may not be able to avoid all these unhealthy environment elements around me, as long as i live within a city or metropolitan perimeter, the most i can do is to reduce the adverse effect and minimize them to less hazardous risk factor but not eliminate them completely through the above method or move to a place far away from the city life in this unhealthy world.
