Live healthy

Beauty, strength, youth, happiness and joie de vivre. We all want that, don't we? You can't hold onto your youth, but you can stay youthful even when you get older, and you can still be beautiful, strong and full of joy in old age. All of these properties come from the same source: health. So it is important to preserve this. It seems so simple, but it takes the determination and the will to do something for your health.

Joy of life & energy instead of indolence or depression

Some find that very difficult. There is something that hinders this, and that is the indolence and persistence with which one strives to cling to habits that have become cherished and the human-all-too-human ease. But indolence and ease are two things that are opposed to the principle of life, which is in perpetual motion.

Many a good will and resolution fail because of them. But if we master our life and want to maintain or acquire radiant health, i.e. health that exudes joy of life, confidence, strength, youthfulness, we must not expect all of this to fall into our lap without effort and without doing our own .

As is well known, nothing in life is given to us, everything has to be acquired. We have to earn it. Then it turns out afterwards, that I should say for consolation, that it is precisely this need to earn yourself that is particularly valuable.

Health must also be maintained through one's own efforts. It takes some self-conquest, but it's worth it. One must not confuse the human organism with a machine. However, the more you protect it, the longer a machine will last. In organic life it is exactly the opposite. If the person spares himself, if he weans himself from wind and weather, if he usually sits still without enough exercise, the negative consequences soon become noticeable. He becomes vulnerable, his strength decreases, illness and bad mood set in.

Only that which is constantly being practiced remains fresh and capable of action. Now many will ask: yes, what should we do? The answer can be said in one sentence. We must do everything that it undermines our strength and our joy in life. We have to lead our life meaningfully! Letting go means something like "giving up", letting hope sink.

But we don't want that, do we? On the contrary! We want to be at the cutting edge, modern people of the 21st century, for whom many of the riddles of earlier epochs have been solved and who master life with so much better conditions than the generations of old.

Health through lifestyle & nutrition

This also applies to the health requirements. Today, when we are used to the achievements of our western civilization, we can hardly get a proper idea of ​​the sanitary conditions of earlier times. Epidemics were common back then. In addition to child mortality, cholera, typhus, smallpox and plague were the most common causes of death.

Science has long since discovered its pathogens and successfully combated them. The improvement in the sanitary conditions and the hygiene education also eliminated the causes of the development of these epidemics. Let us consider that in 1900 the rural population still represented over 50% of the population. This relationship has shifted more and more in favor of the cities. 50 years ago a third of the population lived in rural areas, now it is only a quarter. What do these numbers mean? They tell us that many people whose fathers and mothers still farmed in the fresh air and with constant physical activity do not get enough physical activity today.

Then there is the damage caused by an inexpedient and unfavorable lifestyle and diet. It is clear that the damage that seemed to be inevitably linked to the change in the way of working and living does not at all need to occur. We have to come to the point where we deliberately do what modern nutritional and sports science advises us, and also follow what is required of the general way of life to keep our body healthy.

All of this together is what we call a meaningful lifestyle. It means behavior that is appropriate to the state of our modern scientific knowledge. Large amounts of money are made available by the health insurances for the prevention of health problems and for medical education. Symptomat.de also serves indirectly for health education and we hope to be able to make a valuable contribution to our healthy society.
