ABSTRACT

The infant is given a more or less burdensome start depending on the degree to which the mother could maintain a good and healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and where she refrained from adverse choices like smoking, alcohol and other negative factors. Human psychology contributes to health and illness. A study in China demonstrated the relationship between the specific human rights of adequate nutrition, good housing, education, social security, health care and clean air environments as related to longevity. The research demonstrated that extended exposure to good human rights environments also predicts that people will live healthy and long lives. Educated people live more healthy lives and importantly, because of their socio-economic status, have better access to medical care. Healthy lifestyles are also based on informed choices and decisions. In some cases, the adoption of healthy diets reduces the needs for drug therapy in patients suffering from hypertension and high cholesterol levels.
