Journey To Better Health

They say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. When it comes to good health, there are some who treat it as an everlasting odyssey of adventure. Health is so integrated into their lives’ goals that it gets meticulous  planning and disciplined implementation. When we first started offering our personal genomics tests, they were the first to book home DNA test-kits. Our genetic counsellors drew action plans for the whole family. They are still in touch with our genetic counsellors, who ensure all their health-related queries are answered.
And then there are people who hesitate to take the first step in their journey towards better health. Reasons could be many – fear of learning about health issues, anticipation of failure, other priorities, ignorance (possible in today’s information age if one’s head is buried in the sand), or whatever other excuse one wants to use.

The First Step In  Your Journey

the first step to health
This blog post has some ideas for your first step on the journey to health. You may consider them or find a totally different route.

 Genetic counseling

A genetic counselor analyzes your health history and suggests changes to your lifestyle or health checks that can form a route-map on your health odyssey. Read here to find out what a genetic counselling session can do for you.

Active lifestyle

A sedentary lifestyle can be as injurious to health as smoking. One of the first steps to get you on your journey towards better health is getting active. You may decide to join a fitness center or even try to make your day more active the NEAT way.

Good diet

Our mothers are right – all the processed food we eat is not always good for the body or the mind. Small changes in diet can go a long way in developing good health. Get started on healthy eating today. Start with a small change – replace the salad dressing with olive oil and herbs or add an extra portion of veggies.

Mindfulness

Today, there are so many things to do that many end up doing nothing. Many in the land that gave the world Pranayama and Dhyana are lost in the chaos of “modern living”. Mindfulness can offer solutions where there is only stress. Check out psychotherapist Aarathi Selvan’s www.pauseforperspective.com to learn more.

Journal

A journal is a good way to track your health journey. Your smart phone has many apps that you are probably using. Now may be the best time to recharge that fitness band and start using it.

Health buddy

Find a health buddy or join a fitness group. Friends can help make the journey more easy and fun. Nothing like healthy competition.
