§ 14. A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

As long ago as 480 ВС, Hippocrates recognized that several aspects of what we now call «lifestyle» must come together to produce a healthy body. He said: «Positive health requires knowledge of man's primary constitution and the powers of various foods. But eating alone is not enough for health. There must be exercise, of which the effects must likewise be known. The combination of these two things makes regimen. If there is any deficiency in food or exercise the body will fall sick».

A healthy lifestyle is defined as one that gives an individual his or her optimal level of physical or mental health. Health is a condition of physical, mental and social well-being and implies the absence of disease. Health status can be assessed by measuring life expectancy, mortality rates, illnesses and disabilities. According to European mortality statistics, major health problems are cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Lung cancer is a typical example of a disease that can be reduced substantially by a single lifestyle change, namely, a reduction in smoking. Diet provides fuel as well as components for the essential structural elements of the body. Together with appropriate physical activity and suitable hygiene, they represent the main contributors to good health.

Healthy nutrition requires appropriate dietaiy intake of energy in the form of macronutrients as well as the adequate intake of essential nutrients, comprising vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and amino acids. Aperson's requirements for the different nutrients are related to his or her energy requirements, age, height and weight. Lifestyle factors such as level of physical activity, stress, smoking and alcohol consumption also affect nutrient requirements. No individual food contains all nutrients in the optimum quantities and in the correct ratios. Therefore, healthy nutrition is possible only by eating a variety of different foods to maintain the required balance of nutrients. It is now generally recognized that obesity is a health hazard. Obesity increases the risk of adult onset diabetes and high blood pressure and exacerbates a tendency to have higher than normal concentrations of lipids in the blood. Prevention of obesity requires that energy balance be maintained over a period of time.

Physical inactivity confers a substantial public health burden. On the basis of several studies published in the United States, it has been estimated that between 9 and 16 % of deaths can be attributed to a sedentary lifestyle. People who are physically active tend to be healthier than their sedentary peers: they experience fewer chronic degenerative diseases, especially coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, osteoporosis. There are also indications that exercise is associated with improved immune function and decreased risk of colon cancer. Exercise has an antidepressant effect in healthy people as well as in patients diagnosed as clinically depressed.

Epidemiological evidence suggests that there is an association between alcohol consumption and the occurrence of cancers of the mouth, esophagus and larynx and that the risk increases in a dose-related manner. Cigarette smoking in combination with alcohol intake significantly increases the risk. Excessive alcohol consumption is one of a number of causative factors for liver cirrhosis. The serious adverse effects on the health of individuals of chronic excessive alcohol consumption are well documented: it is associated with a variety of diseases and may result in addiction with consequential social and mental problems.
