Decisions we make!
Environmental and lifestyle elements are the main factors that influence our health and well-being. These factors can significantly impact our overall health and either promote or detract from our quality of life.
Environmental factors refer to the physical, chemical, biological, and social factors surrounding us. The most critical environmental factors affecting our health include air and water pollution, exposure to toxins, climate change, social addiction, and access to healthcare.
Lifestyle variables, on the other hand, are decisions we make that can affect our health. These include diet, physical activity, sleep, stress management, substance use, and social connections.
A healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and excellent sleep patterns, has been demonstrated in studies to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Similarly, minimizing our exposure to environmental poisons and contaminants can benefit our health.
As a result, environmental and lifestyle elements are critical for good health and well-being.
