It's important to remember that health isn’t only the absence of disease. Health includes the mental, social, physical, spiritual and emotional dimension.

The feeling of wellbeing allows us to give our best and work effectively to contribute to society, but sometimes we are in a comfort zone and that is hard to change. How do we  change our habits to feel better? Here we give you sime tips: 

1. Be positive

2. Do it for yourself

3. Set specifics goals. For example: “I will walk 30 min everyday”, and not: “I will go for a walk someday a week”.

ü  THE STRESS.

The stress is a factor that influences some diseases as anxiety or depression. 

Cortisol is one of the main hormones related to stress. It helps to regulate blood pressure, 

hours of sleep, mood or cholesterol, but each person is different and there isn’t a recipe 

that makes you healthy forever.

You must see what things hurt you, things that depress you, that don’t like.. and start taking small steps in search of individual improvements.  

REMEMBER: WE DON’T WANT TO CHANGE FOR SOCIETY, WE WANT INDIVIDUAL IMPROVEMENTS. WE WANT THE HEALTH.   

Sport helps us reducing stress in two different ways: 

1. The psychological dimension: The practice of physical activities produces a distraction from stressful events or situations (We forget the worries).

2. The physiological dimension: The practice of physical exercise stimulates the secretion of endorphins, which helps us to have a greater sense of well-being.
