Our mental health is perhaps the most important factor of our overall health. When we procrastinate, and put things off, we lack the motivation to get and stay healthy. That is fairly a minor implication of our daily lifelong struggle with our mental health.
The most devastating mental health battle may come as we age, even if we have led a happy life and healthy life. Alzheimer's is something you might not have any control over. The good news is that we are making great strides towards the battle against Alzheimer's and dementia. Still it remains a mystery and continues to show signs of being a major problem within 20 years. Alzheimer's prevention can help and anything is better than nothing.
Spotting dementia is another issue but goes hand-in-hand with Alzheimer's. In case you need to care for someone with this issue, the caregiver guide might help. A dilemma comes when a doctor sees it coming but can't stop it. The brain is a muscle and needs mental exercise. Start at the memory quiz and start doing puzzles, sudokus, and any brain tease trivia you can find!
Depression is a strange mental health issue. Many people have it and don't know it. The depressed person isn't always a 'downer' because many upbeat and social people may be depressed, too. I could get into my college psychology classes, but as Bob Dylan said, "...times they are a changin'." Once called Manic-Depression, today it is known as bi-polar. M-D was confusing because there were 2 types. You were either Depressed or Manic. The Manic were the upbeat and talkative side of the depression.
When it comes to depression, here are tips to be happy. Habits can affect your mental health.
When it comes to happiness, you have it figured out if you're a Swiss, Icelander, Dane or Norwegian!

Health Week Tips-Day 7(The End...for Now)
Beware of NUTITION Bars because they aren't as "Nutritious" as they would have you believe. Sugar and Trans Fat, well you get the picture. Eat a candy bar instead, if you must.
The healthiest salad dressing is simple...extra virgin olive oil and balsamic. red wine, apple cider, distilled, and any other vinegar. Adjust the taste by adding more vinegar or more EVOO-Extra Virgin Olive Oil. But if you have a problem, I think these salad dressings may help. A little secret....when it comes to commercial salad dressings, you want to enforce the portion size.
Start keeping track of the nutrients in your foods. You can make your own Nutrition Facts label by doing this and using this.
We are starting to change our views when it comes to weight loss. I have a BMI of 25, and feel I should drop more weight, but my doctor disagrees. He pointed out that I am muscular and muscle has weight to it. I may be considered overweight on the BMI scale, but I am in optimal health because most of my weight is muscle and not fat.
Peppers are always a Super Food. Hot ones, sweet ones, spicy ones, all good. When it comes to Bell peppers, the brighter the color the more beneficial. A secret to buying Bell peppers is to get the male rather than the female. The red, yellow, orange variety are the most expensive and usually sold by weight. Female peppers are loaded with more seeds inside. How can you tell a female from a male? Look at the bottom of the pepper. Three humps are male and four humps are female.
Start keeping track of your workouts with a workout log. Alternate or change your workouts and routines every three months to continue gaining muscle and losing weight.
Have I talked about cholesterol, yet? Not all cholesterol is bad. Unfortunately, although I eat as healthy as possible, I still need cholesterol controlling drug, possibly because mine is inherited. I'll give my words credibility!
You now can train yourself to be happier. Boost your health with good relationships. Also learn to conquer your everyday stressors.
Whew! I made it! The magnificent 7 days of tips on the healthy lifestyle. I know how you feel by getting bombarded by health advice, tips, resources, tools, and so on, but it is up to you to find what works. What works for me may, or may not work for you. I do believe that mind, body and mood are what makeup a healthy lifestyle. How you achieve it is your niche.
