Having a healthy lifestyle is all about choosing to live your life in the most healthy way possible. There are a few things you have to do to start living your life in this way, i.e., the healthy way. This means doing some amount of exercise daily, such as jogging, yoga, playing sports, etc. Adding to this, you must also have a balanced and nutritional diet with all the food groups. It would be best if you were taking the right amount of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fats to help you have a proper diet. Grouped with these two essential aspects (diet and exercise), a healthy person also maintains the same sleep cycle, which should consist of around 7-8 hours of sleep.
However, we must remember that a healthy lifestyle not only refers to our physical and mental health. Maintaining a balanced diet, exercising daily, and sleeping well are essential parts of a healthy lifestyle. But feeling happy is also a big part of a healthy lifestyle. To enable happiness, thinking positively is a must. When a person does not feel happy or good about themselves, they are not entirely healthy. Thus we must do our best to think positively so that we can feel happy rather than sad.
We have talked about what all entails a healthy life, so now we must speak of what all does not. There are several things that one must avoid in order to live a healthy lifestyle. These include the kind of practices and habits that are harmful to us and also to the people around us, i.e., society. Such practices and habits include gambling, smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, or any other things that can turn into an addiction. These habits are harmful to not only you but for all the people around you, as addiction causes unhealthy attitudes and behaviors. Other unhealthy practices include skipping meals and eating junk food.
The benefits of a healthy lifestyle are manifold: living a healthy life allows you to live longer, which means that you get to spend more time with your family. Exercising daily will enable you to release endorphins and helps you feel happier. Regular exercise also improves the health of your skin and hair, bettering your appearance as well. Healthy lifestyles also primarily reduce your risk of life-threatening diseases such as cancer, diabetes, etc. and also reduce your susceptibility to cardiac arrests.
Overall, living your life in a healthy way only has benefits, and that’s why it is recommended that you do everything you can to have a healthy lifestyle. So, eat three nutritional meals a day, avoid unhealthy junk food, go for a run or jog in the morning, get your full 8 hours of sleep, and avoid bad habits like drugs, alcohol, and smoking. A healthy lifestyle is the best thing that you can do to your body, and you will be thanking yourself for following a healthy lifestyle in the later years of your life.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

• Married for 20 years to my beautiful wife Tracie
• 3 daughters – Holly, Layla and Mia
• Love and compete in all types of sports
• Originally worked in banking, finance and financial planning
• Loved developing and coaching staff for over 15 years
• Had a career change mid life crisis and re-trained as a
Personal Trainer and fell in love with all aspects of it.
• Related to a holistic approach as life had taught me that
health was not just exercise and a diet
• Established Core Health Coaching based in Wishart
• Family, community and boutique PT studio with 5 staff
• Very thankful for my amazing staff and our beautiful
clients
7.
8. 1. Thoughts
• We know that the mind commands our nervous, hormonal and neuropeptide
systems.
• We are just starting to understand mind body medicine (via Western science)
with scientific breakthroughs to quantify the impact of the thoughts.
• Started with Henry K Beecher’s work “The Powerful Placebo” in 1955
• Development of new areas of study – Neuroplasticity, Psychoimmunology,
Psychophysiology, Integrative Medicine and Nutrition, and even changes to
research protocols in clinical trials
• Traditional medicines have acknowledged the impact of thoughts and the
mind for over 3,000 years eg Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda
Medicine, Tibetan Buddhism
9. 1. Thoughts
Neuroplasticity -
• Is the brain’s ability to re-structure itself after training and practice. It
shows that if we change our behaviours, thinking and how we feel, that
we have the ability to physically re-wire our neural pathways.
• Exposure to positive influences in life - people, ideas (books, CD, DVD) and
good news will not only improve our mood, mindset and outlook it will
also physically change our overall health.
• The power of repetition and habits ………
10.
11. 1. Thoughts
Exercise 1 – Happy and Connected
• List 10 things that make you happy and connected.
• Are you doing them and if so how often do you do these items per day,
per week?
• What is stopping or blocking you from being happy or connected?
12. 1. Thoughts
Exercise 2 – I Can Do It (from NLP/PP)
When you are blocked, what can you do?
• I CAN DO IT – you are affirming to your self what you can do
• YES I CAN – confirmation to yourself that you can do it
• DO IT NOW – is a subliminal command to take action.
• Repeat these phrases whenever you are blocked
13. 1. Thoughts
Exercise 3 – Change your state (PP)
• Take a note of how you feel right now.
• Write down 3 things that you are thankful for?
• Write down 3 things that you are excited about?
• How do you feel now?
14. 1. Thoughts
Exercise 4 – Positive Planning
• Take 10 mins each day to plan your day
• This includes your to do list but also how the day will map out
• Start your day with breathing and being with you
• “Change Your State” exercise
• Start refreshed, positive and focused
15. 2. Breathing and Posture
• More than 80% of people do not breathe correctly – shallow breathing
• Oxygen is absorbed through all the lungs but most efficient through
the bottom half of the lungs
• Our cells need water and oxygen to survive
• Poor breathing plays a role in about 75 percent of complaints to GP’s
o Cardiovascular problems
o Increases the adrenal responses and stress hormones
o Visceral disorders
o Musculoskeletal dysfunction
16. 2. Breathing and Posture
Impact on posture from incorrect breathing
• Muscles get overworked and are hypertonic (tight)
• Causes upper cervical spine to be pulled out of alignment creating
headaches and tension in the upper back.
• Domino effect of muscle imbalance that flows through the rest of the
body
• Forward head posture is an extremely common dysfunction and places the
body in a suboptimal position to breathe deeply and puts significant
pressure on lower back.
17. 2. Breathing and Posture
Benefits
• Quality breathing will help you achieve a better, more restful sleep
• Breathing properly detoxifies and neutralises the body
• Reduces stress/cortisol levels
• Improved blood pressure
• Improves nutrient up take
• Improves general and sporting performance
• Improves cognitive function
• Good posture is not only important for respiration, but also for the health of
joints, visceral functions, muscle balance, energy efficiency, and aesthetics.
Breathing for Optimal Health by Jonathan Sears
Date Released: 04 Nov 2002
18. 2. Breathing and Posture
Exercise 1 – The power of 10
• Take 10 really deep breathes
• Breathe in through your nose
• Your belly should expand and then your rib cage
• Do not lift your shoulders before your belly or ribs
• Breath in on a 4 count, pause for 4 sec, slowly breathe out for 4 and then
pause for 4 sec
• Practise this 4 – 5 times a day
19. 2. Breathing and Posture
Exercise 2 - Belly Trainer
• Lie on your back
• Place a bag of rice/sand just above you naval approx 1.5 kilo
• Focus on the belly raising easily and falling on exhaling
• Keep the chest still by placing your hand on your sternum
• Objective is to breathe just with your diaphragm and the chest
• Aim is 6 breathes per minute
20. 3. Water – The Most Important Nutrient
Long term effects of dehydration is the break down the body’s basic ability to
function, loss of well being and the starting point for disease.
70% of the general population are chronically dehydrated
Some of the symptoms of dehydration
Headaches
Food cravings
Joint and Back pain
Anxiety and depression
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Constipation
Fatigue and Insomnia
Allergies and Asthma
Arthritic Pain
22. 3. Water – The Most Important Nutrient
Benefits of a correctly hydrated body
• Increased absorption and utilisation of nutrients
• Increased oxygen availability to the cells
• Increased detoxification of the body as a whole
• More perfect cell replication
• Increased energy levels
• Optimal body weight/performance
• Better digestion
• Better health
23. 3. Water – The Most Important Nutrient
I thought 6-8 glasses was the correct amount?
Each of us has a different water requirement based on a number of key
factors
• Body weight – higher weight requires greater water intake
• External temperate – higher temperatures require greater water intake
• Exercise volumes – greater demands on the body requires higher water
intake
• Other fluid intake – Caffeine, alcohol, soft drinks and juices dehydrate the
body
• Gender – women required higher amounts during different phases in their
menstruation cycle
24. 3. Water – The Most Important Nutrient
Water requirement recommendation (Paul Chek)
• This is calculated on our body weight in kgs, divided by 0.03.
• Example - An 80 kg person would require 2.4 litres per day
• This represents the minimum amount of pure, filtered and non-
treated water needed each day to assist your cells functioning
optimally. Personal adjustments are required eg 1 hour of high
intensity exercise add 1 litre
Do other fluids count?
• Coke, lemonade, alcohol and caffeinated beverages are
dehydrating to our system and strip water from our bodies. In some
cases, they satisfy our thirst but do not hydrate our bodies
25. 3. Water – The Most Important Nutrient
Some additional points
• Tap water contains chlorine and fluoride and does not have
the appropriate mineral/electrolyte content to hydrate our cells
• Add a pinch of organic sea salt to balance your mineral
and electrolyte levels
• If you are adequately hydrated you are less likely to
have empty calorie drinks (e.g. soft drinks) or pick me
up foods
• Hunger pains are frequently a symptom of dehydration.

30. 4. Nutrition - Nutrient Dense vs. EDNP
Recent report findings - NSW Government plan for preventing overweight and obesity
in children, young people and their families 2009-2011.
Conclusions -There is convincing evidence that nutrition is a major underlying
determinant of a range of chronic diseases, and the associated premature deaths and
disability... Currently, our social, economic and physical environment promotes the
consumption of recreational and non basic foods that are profitable, energy-dense
and nutrient poor (EDNP)
There is convincing evidence to support reduced consumption of energy dense,
nutrient poor foods as a key focus of overweight and obesity prevention efforts.
31. 5. Movement
Exercise can heal the body (Yoga is a part of Ayurveda medicine)
Generates energy/vitality
Directs energy and nutrients to specific parts of the body
Reduces disease factors
Balances hormonal levels
