Everyone is so busy fulfilling his or her everyday jobs and commitments.  People are working extra just to make both ends meet.  Their schedules are so pre-occupied that they cannot squeeze in even a single activity in their organizer anymore.  The big question arising is that are you living a healthy lifestyle?

There are some studies with evidence that shows some lifestyle behaviors can actually improve the health and wellness of an individual, thus prolonging life.  The only problem nowadays is that people tend to lose track from what we call a "healthy" lifestyle.     

With all the stress and problems that people are encountering daily, the value for maintaining a healthy lifestyle is sometimes being neglected already.  Nowadays the number of people who are getting addictive to smoking and even alcohol is increasing every year.  These substances are the main cause of different chronic diseases that are mostly fatal.

The increasing number of individuals who are classified as obese is also another alarming factor in the current lifestyle of the society.  Many of us enjoy eating foods from fast food chains such the Mc Donald's.  These foods may satisfy you from hunger but the consequence of eating it is quite scary.  Not only it will bring a lot weight in our body, but it may also cause different kinds of physiologic problems such as kidney and heart problems.

So how can you evaluate yourself in order for you to identify whether or not you are living a healthy lifestyle.  You can do that by asking yourself these simple questions:

1. Are you exercising regularly like three to five times a week?

2. Do you often consume caffeine everyday like 3 to five times daily?

3. Do you sleep 7 hours or more every night?

4. Do you eat a balanced and healthy diet?

If your answer to all of these questions is yes, then I congratulate you because you are living a healthy lifestyle.  If your yes-answers only applies to some of the questions above then you are probably losing out of track in living healthy.  If you'll try to analyze it, these are just some simple questions yet it affects your lifestyle so much.  So how do the questions apply to your health?
