What are the three main indicators of good health?

1. | Cardiovascular Health

  • Resting Heart Rate (RHR): A lower resting heart rate (typically 60-80 beats per minute) indicates a strong heart and good cardiovascular efficiency.
  • Blood Pressure: Ideal levels are around 120/80 mmHg, showing a healthy circulatory system.
  • Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): Levels of 95% or higher suggest good oxygen delivery to the body.

2. | Physical Fitness and Body Composition

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) & Body Fat Percentage: While BMI provides a general guideline, body fat percentage is a better measure of health. A healthy range is 18-24% for men and 21-31% for women.
  • Muscle Strength & Endurance: Ability to perform daily activities without fatigue indicates good musculoskeletal health.
  • Flexibility & Mobility: Good range of motion reduces injury risk and enhances overall function.

3. | Metabolic and Mental Well-being

  • Stable Blood Sugar & Cholesterol Levels: Healthy glucose metabolism and balanced cholesterol reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
  • Mental Health & Sleep Quality: Low stress levels, emotional stability, and 7-9 hours of quality sleep contribute to overall wellness.
  • Digestive Health: Regular bowel movements and a balanced gut microbiome indicate good digestion and immune function.
