Being the world health day, there is no choice but to establish the relationship between happiness and health. This relationship is supported by numerous studies that conclude that health, especially mental health, is seriously affected by the happiness of the individual or the absence of it. Also today we explain that the basis for both to be achieved in the best possible way, is precisely education.

We will tell you why it is so important to educate your children in a healthy life. And why should you teach and encourage them to listen to themselves and meet their own goals to achieve happiness.

Relationship between health and happiness determining factors

According to the WHO's own definition of health, there are several factors that determine happiness, and one of them is Health. This definition is mentioned in the post referring to balance between emotional and physical health. It explains the importance of maintaining both areas of our health. Not only is it essential to take care of our body, the balance of our mind is also important. As we specified in that same post, if the mind does not have balance, it will affect the health of the body and this is a vicious cycle that will only cause our discomfort.

Emotional balance is essential for our health and that of our children.

The determining factors of our health are the following:

  • Determining elements of physical well-being. Such as the physical conditions of the person, if they have any problems or diseases.
  • Determining elements of Mental health. The management of emotions, if you suffer from any type of disorder or stress. All this is also decisive for health.
  • Identifiable elements in social welfare. The family and work environment and friends can also be decisive, since they are circumstances that affect our state of mind.
  • Physical and biological environment. Our physical environment also affects us, the climate, changes, even if the landscape is pleasant or not, can be decisive.
  • Restrictions or reducers of well-being, which directly or indirectly affect the other factors. Any circumstance that limits our well-being, affecting the aforementioned, can mean a detriment to our health.

Definition of healthy life

The true definition of healthy life has to do with food and physical activity, of course. However, it doesn't just have to do with that. It will also depend a lot on the emotional stability of each one, their social environment and all the factors mentioned in the previous section. A healthy life is one in which these factors are in the optimal parameters. That is, in which all the necessary conditions for our health, physical and mental, are in the best conditions.

Healthy food

A rich and varied diet is not the only thing necessary to maintain our health.

To maintain a healthy life, we must learn to listen to where our body wants those parameters to be. Well, each person is different and has different needs than the rest, their health, therefore, will be based on their personal needs and never on generalizations.

Educate for a healthy life

The greatest wish of every mother or father is that their children grow up healthy and happy. In reality both things go hand in hand and are not one without the other. As we have already said, mental health is a determining factor in the general health of the person. Managing emotions is essential for the health of children and the future adults they will be.

It is in the public domain that it is easier to raise emotionally healthy children than to repair broken adults. Let's pay attention to this data and educate our children with a healthy emotional education, so that they have a healthier life. Let's not make the mistake of thinking that just by teaching them to eat well, to exercise, we are already fulfilling that task. You also have to cultivate bonds, create moments and memories.


Healthy habits in children

Diet and exercise will teach you some discipline and responsibility, which will also affect their personal and emotional level, enriching them, helping them to grow. But even more important is that you cultivate the fact that listen to yourselves, that they alone have the power to take care of their self-esteem, to favor their assertiveness.

We must not forget that education is always the fundamental tool for growth and learning. It is one more way to show the love we feel towards our children. The best favor that we can do for them so that they can achieve their autonomy, performing everything they have learned in the best possible way. Even more so when learning consists of taking care of themselves, in all existing facets.
