Mens sana in corpore sano
A good health is a major resource to increase their quality of life. Health begins with respect for oneself and respect for one’s body, including everything that nourishes it, and therefore food. Didn’t Hippocrates say: “Let your food be your only medicine”?

We now know that emotional state and diet, neurobiology and appetite, hormones and microbiota, weight and emotions… are closely linked. Our body and our head thus act in symbiosis . It is not by chance that the belly is also called “second brain”.

The health is the most valuable asset we possess. However, many pathologies, whether serious or benign, chronic or emerging, are as many scourges of public health that it is important to understand. What diseases are, and how they arise; this health section will give you the tools you need to answer these questions.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle to avoid the appearance of chronic diseases
Promoting good health and healthy behaviors at all ages is essential in preventing or delaying the onset of chronic diseases .

Being physically active, eating a healthy diet, not abusing alcohol, and refraining from smoking or using tobacco products are all factors that can reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases later on. These behaviors must be adopted from an early age and continue throughout life.

A healthy lifestyle can not only prevent the onset of chronic diseases but also improve the incidence of other pathologies such as menopause, bone health, cardiovascular system, viral diseases, etc.

The adoption of healthy and simple actions on a daily basis will also have an action, and not the least, in the prevention of cancer, but also in the extension of life expectancy .
How do you define good health?
According to the WHO definition , being in good health is “a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being, and is not just the absence of disease or infirmity”.

Worrying about health and illnesses is a common concern, most often circumstantial, moderate, and transient. But it sometimes happens that the fears relating to health intensify to become excessive, persistent and pathological, despite the attempts made to cope (seeking reassurance, close monitoring of the body and / or avoidance of situations related to the dreaded disease).

Between simple and banal concerns relating to the state of health and proven hypochondria, it is necessary to identify different clinical realities which, although not scrupulously satisfying the diagnostic criteria of the major international classifications, generate tangible psychological distress and / or somatic risk behaviors.
