The expression “lifestyles” describes several expressed behaviors, usually in the form of consumption and behaviors patterns, which characterizes how an individual or group fits into society. Although, with the advancement of science and the facilitation of human tasks in the daily living, there is a reduction in mortality from infectious diseases and an increase in longevity, however the appearance of chronic-degenerative diseases that negatively affect the quality of life have been found when some behaviors, defined as “good” lifestyles are not considered. The lifestyles could be defined as a set of mediating structures that reflect a totality of activities, attitudes and social values closely related and that depend on economic and social conditions, education, age, among other factors. It manifests historical and cultural experiences and emerges from a set of decisions, over which the subject assumes control, thus, the lifestyle is revealed to be fundamental in the promotion a...

Lifestyle is a complex and often generic concept that has been used and defined in different ways in scientific research. Currently, there is no single definition of lifestyle, and various fields of knowledge have developed theories and research variables that are also distant from each other. This paper is a narrative review of the literature and an analysis of the concept of lifestyle and its relationship to health. This contribution aims to shed light on the lifestyle construct in health psychology. In particular, the first part of this manuscript reexamines the main definitions of lifestyle in the psychological and sociological fields through three perspectives: internal, external, and temporal. The main components that characterise lifestyle are highlighted. The second part of this paper explores the main concepts of lifestyle in health, underlining their strengths and weaknesses, and proposes an alternative definition of a healthy lifestyle, which integrates the individual dim...

Our lifestyle is determined by our normal patterns of living. Life has become fast, ambitions and materialistic now-a-days. Routine day to day activities such as continuous use of Mobiles, long hours at computers/television and late night sleeping habits lead to chronic diseases. These diseases are avoidable and do not result from an acute infection, injury nor do they spread from one person to the other. Bad lifestyle deteriorates the quality of life. The main factors contributing to lifestyle diseases include bad food habits, sedentary lifestyle, wrong body posture, and disturbed biological clock. Younger generation has been found to be afflicted with lifestyle ailments such as Obesity, Depression, Chronic backache, Diabetes, Hypertension, Arthritis, Spondylitis, Atherosclerosis, Angina, Asthma, Hepatitis and Defective Hearing, and Poor Eyesight. However, these lifestyle diseases can be prevented by smart appropriate alterations in the routine lifestyle patterns.
In 1948, World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." There are a number of factors that affect our health. Population, Poverty and Pollution are the 3 Ps that play a very significant role in the health status of individuals. But in today’s world, in addition to these there are a number of factors that greatly influence our health. The proportion of income being spent on health matters has risen considerably. But still the health of majority of persons is not very satisfactory. This is largely due to the changing lifestyle of the modern world. Lifestyle is the way of living of ‘individuals, families and societies’. It is influenced by culture, society, peers, changing trends in the world. The modern world has brought many changes in the lifestyles of individuals that has affected our health status.

The concept of healthy lifestyle is one of the most used in the promotion and health prevention. Its vagueness can generate problems of adjustment when it comes to understanding its ultimate objective and, above all, generate confusion in the investigations that use it to generate healthy behavior patterns. The dimensions on which the concept of healthy lifestyle is based are in themselves very disparate, intervening behaviors and actions executable, emotions, cognitions and perceptions, which makes its functionality much more complex and controversial when it comes to agreeing on its final content. Risk perception in lifestyle is intimately linked to the concept of perceived psychosocial vulnerability, because it is a concept that varies according to age and has a direct impact on psychosocial factors that affect lifestyle such as susceptibility, adaptation, coping and resilience. Our goal is to narrow and delimit the concept of healthy lifestyle from a theoretical perspective, so that a construct so widely used in psychology and health research can be addressed more objectively, with agreed parameters and taking into account its dimensions and the perception that people have of it.

Lifestyle describes a complex behavioral strategies and routines, attitudes and values, norms assumed in order to individual or group to score as convenient in a social context. The importance of medical education in terms of healthy lifestyle is very well recognized nowadays. Lifestyle medicine offers important information about nutrition, physical activity, stress control and social support systems. Lifestyle can be treated as an indicator of social attitudes and of the ideologies that are functioning in the social space. In aboriginal tribes, eating behaviors had a strong religious imprint referring directly to obtain favors from the gods as health, wealth, healing and long life. Even if blatant promotion of a lifestyle can produce civilization, modelling behaviours, yet strongly promoting a lifestyle can become a subtle tool of manipulation and control. Following a healthy lifestyle, regardless of age, will have numerous health benefits, being proven that it reduces the risk of ...

The presented review of the phenomenon "Complete lifestyle" combines the findings of spiritual and academic science. The aim is to analyse lifestyle and especially life management in a counterpoint from the view of harmonizing spiritual, mental and physical needs in the context of health achievement. The focus of this connection is to defragment the current information explosion and apply the connection to the practice of wellness education. Methods of content and descriptive analyses were used. For this reason, not only the physical, mental and spiritual behavioural basis of human life, but also the social contexts of human health are apparent in the analysed resultants and recommendations.
