As you may have already realized, longevity can be achieved through a healthy and balanced lifestyle, which includes eating properly, practicing regular physical activity, managing stress, getting enough quality sleep and, of course, giving up unhealthy habits such as a sedentary lifestyle, smoking and drinking too much alcohol.
Medical care is also essential for longevity. Regular check-ups and following medical advice can help prevent illnesses, detect them early and control existing health conditions.
It’s important to remember that longevity is not just about living longer, but about living with quality. To achieve this, it’s important to take care not only of your physical health, but also your mental health.
Seeking help from mental health professionals, such as psychologists and psychiatrists, can be a big difference in everyday life, helping to deal with issues such as anxiety, depression and stress, improving quality of life and contributing to longevity.
Psychologists say that people should always seek knowledge. Knowledge saves. Understanding that mental health is as important as physical health is an important step in one’s life.
Often, those who don’t have anxiety, depression or other mental disorders don’t understand the importance of mental health, but I wish that would change. We often only value mental health when we are unwell.
Access to knowledge in this area means that people increasingly seek out qualified professionals when they feel the need.
So, if you don’t feel well emotionally, seek out a psychologist or psychiatrist, who are the right professionals. Remember: mental health is fundamental to quality of life and longevity.
