The secret to good health is taking care of the body inside and out, with healthy eating and daily activities at the core.

Rest does not mean neglect. However, holidays are often accompanied by a neglect of healthy habits, and we know that there is no other secret to maintaining good health than to take a healthy diet. care of the body inside and out, with nutrition and the practice of physical exercise and healthy activities.

At Biosalud we consider nutrition and a varied and appropriate diet to be vital for each person as part of a healthy life. This is why we consider this aspect in the individualised therapeutic programmes we carry out. However, the objective we pursue, in addition to achieving health, is to achieve an behavioural change for life, the creation of a habit as opposed to a temporary practice that is stopped as soon as the daily routine changes and can lead back to a state of illness.

And as we know that each of us has certain characteristics that condition our nutritional needs Whether it is due to the pace of life or genetics, at Biosalud we carry out a fully personalised study for all those who come to our nutrition unit. The result is a diet for each client and for no one else, with significant effects on their health and wellbeing.

Genes determine our nutritional requirements and the test FoodGen® FoodGen that we use in Biosalud is in charge of personalising them. It analyses 20 genes related to the need for vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, including the genetic intolerance to gluten and lactose. The result is a report that explains the genetic variants and the Nutrient Table facilitates the design of a personalised diet with the optimal amounts of each.

Prevention remains important during the holidays

But in addition to good nutrition, at Biosalud we are convinced that prevention is the best treatment there is to maintain the well-being of our patients.. Because increasing this focus helps to improve people's health, quality of life and prosperity.

Prevention begins at home, in our daily lives, by making healthy choices. In this context, we emphasise the seven priority areas of a preventive health strategy or plan:

• Tobacco-free life
• Prevention of drug abuse and excessive alcohol consumption
• Healthy eating
• Active life
• life free from violence and injury
• Reproductive and sexual health
• Mental and emotional well-being

In this context, through the Medical Travel medical service, at Biosalud we have a specific unit called Medical Wellnesswith which we seek to provide wellness and health. One of the programmes that we develop in the same, directly aimed at Prevention, is the so-called Prevent Programme.

This programme combines the use of the genetic analysisThe patient's predisposition to disease can be detected with the study and care in the person's current state of health. In this way, we can design a treatment plan that prevents the development of disease. The treatment is completed in one week and can be carried out at any time of the year.

Physical exercise to mitigate the problems of computer use

In addition, for a few days, the computer is put aside, which allows for mitigate the problems caused by their prolonged useThe main causes of back problems are headaches, eye problems, nausea, dizziness, tendonitis, back pain and pathologies, among other ailments. Although the position and posture adopted in front of the computer is the main cause of back problems, the lack of physical activity does not help, because it means that the muscles of the spine and abdominals cannot respond adequately to the effort required of them. Take advantage of these days to hexercise, strengthen muscles and prevent future injuries.

In short, a healthy life does not mean giving up rest. Hence the importance of not giving a party to good habits and enjoying a restorative holiday that will make the return much more pleasant.
