and elements that affect your health.
These elements are:
Nutrition:
The food is an essential element

studies prove that it affects our brain’s ability. A study made in the Hospital
of Oakland University for Physiological Studies, took 16 children considered to
lack in the brain by overacting, being hyperactive or slow learning. They
modified their nutrition system by reducing the artificial preservatives, soft
drinks, sweet and sugars. They continued to do so by observing the children for
three to six months. They found that there was an improvement in their
intelligence, averaging from 5 to 30 points with an average of 17.5 points. They
analyzed that nutrition had an effect on the IQ. So be careful about the food
you consume. Try to have a variety of food and drinks which will provide
your body with all the elements and minerals.
Have vegetables, fruits, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Reduce soft drinks; replace it with milk and fruit juices. Drink a lot of
water. It is advisable to have at least two liters of water daily and this depends
on your activities. The lack of water may cause dehydration which will have an
adverse affect on your organs. Furthermore, some research proves that
dehydration may cause stupidity and can affect the level of understanding.
Allah says in the great Quran, “we made from water everything alive.” Drink water even if you aren’t thirsty. Other
drinks will not replace water.
Sleeping:
The other important element for health is sleeping.
It is very important for our body. It will help to recover the body after a
long day of hard activities. It will help to reorganize and rejuvenate your
internal system.
Until today, all study proves that humans need
6 to 8 hours of sleep and when you become older it will be less than that. Try
to sleep early, and not after 12 am, in view of the fact that the body at this
time will secrete the hormone (melatonin), which helps the body to relax and
recover. Also, it will help you to go into a deep sleep. You should know that the
hormone is sensitive to the light, so sleep in a dark room. Furthermore, try to
take a nap in the afternoon if the time and place are possible to recharge
yourself. In addition, you should know that a lot of sleeping is not good for
your body. Sleep more only when required are like if you sick, tired or as
required by the age.
Sports:
The last element to health is sports, because it also
affects the body in many ways:
§ It will energize the body cells and elements.
§ Accelerate the blood circulation which will affect in increasing
the oxygen and other elements in the body which lead to improving the state of
our brain.
§ Strengthen the heart muscle which leads in increasing the blood
level in the body.
The old quote says, “Health and good brain is in a
healthy body.” That is why we should make time to play sports. We are advised
to do sports three days per week, at least walking for half an hour. Choose a
convenience sport, which fits you and your time. Also, take into consideration
and don’t put in a lot of effort in sport unless your goal in life is to become
an Olympic champion or preparing yourself for some competitions. I mean, do not
let sports take a lot of your time and lose a lot of your energy .This will
make you ignore the most important thing in this stage which is study. Study is your weapon to succeed in your life,
achieve your goals and live a happy life.
