🌱 The Cycle of Health: Pain Is a Signal, Not Just a Symptom
Pain is not random—it’s a health issue, just like heart disease or diabetes. And here’s the reality: pain often returns in cycles, typically every 6 months to 2 years.
👉 If ignored, these signals don’t last forever. Eventually, the body reaches a breaking point where surgical intervention may be required—and sometimes, even surgery cannot fully reverse the damage if the delay has been too long.
So what drives this cycle?
- Poor lifestyle choices 🥱
- Lack of movement 🚶‍♂️
- Excess weight ⚖️
- The mindset we hold đź§
The good news: you can track your health before pain takes over.
đź“Š Three Metrics That Matter
- Movement Log
Check your phone or smartwatch.
Aim for 7,000–10,000 steps per day 🚶‍♀️.
Research from Harvard Health shows that even 7,000 steps daily can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and improve longevity. - BMI & Body Composition
A healthy BMI for most adults is 18.5–24.9.
Over 25 = overweight, over 30 = obese.
According to the World Health Organization, BMI is a widely used indicator of health risk.
Not sure? Many gyms have health scales that estimate fat content and metabolic rate. 🏋️ - Pulse Pressure
This is the difference between your systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
If it’s consistently over 50, stress may be silently damaging your body. ❤️‍🔥
