Hello everyone! welcome to scattered health, the world of personal experiences and extensive research of living with mental and physical health issues including some helpful tips and guidance.
Knowing Health!
In today's fast changing world, it is difficult to maintain healthy life because our health is scattered in every corner of fast moving daily lives. In every continent of the world people including children, young or old are suffering with some type of mental or physical health issues. Before delving into detail we need to understand what is the meaning of health and then we can analyse our scattered health in line with our understanding. We all know about what is being a healthy person mean in general, however, believe me, many of us do not know the real definition of health, which is defined below.
Definition of health!
I am a victim of scattered health with mental (Depression) and physical (Lower Back and Leg Pains) health issues since last 10 years. I genuinely believed and used to think that being healthy mean living a life without any disease or sickness. However, one day I was reading a news from World Health Organisation (WHO) and realised that my understanding of health is not correct. WHO states: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. Furthermore, it states: "The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition".
These WHO statements proven my understanding of health wrong and made me curious for further research into health-related issues and expand my knowledge. During my research, I found that WHO also states: The extension to all peoples of the benefits of medical, psychological, and related knowledge is essential to the fullest attainment of health. This statement encouraged me to write and share my personal knowledge of medical, psychological, and other experiences, which may be beneficial to some of the readers suffering with similar issues.
Physical activities and exercises are good for people of all age groups to put together their scattered health to stay healthy and fit. One can gain a lot by staying healthy and active. A healthy lifestyle promotes good health. According to NHS UK being physically active may help you in improving your scattered health including physical and brain health.

· 2. Try to do healthy activities for around 30 minutes on most days of the week. Like myself, if you have busy schedules try to break these thirty minutes into three 10-minute sessions. Health activities can include walking, jumping, dancing, running, yoga, and many more.
· 3. Drink water as much as you can. Keep a proper check on your water intake throughout your day to stay hydrated. In the UK water intake guidance suggests taking 1.2 litres or 6 to 8 glass per day.
· 4. Do not forget to brush your teeth after having your meal. Also, make a habit of brushing your teeth after drinking and before going to your bed.

· 6. If living in a hot country, try to stay out of the sun, especially when the UVA and UVB are strongest. Apply sunscreen before going out between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
7. If living in a cold country like me, try to stay in the sun (if there is any sun) as much as possible to absorb some natural vitamin D. The people living in cold countries mostly take vitamin D in the form of supplement. It is always a good idea to speak to your GP before taking any supplements.
