Basic Needs of Human Life

Introduction:

The basic needs of human life can aggravate the cycle of life. Whether we realize it or not,

we are always at work. We may think of ourselves as being off duty, but our minds never stop

thinking. There is always something going through our heads, whether it's conscious thoughts

or subconscious thoughts. Our brains function continuously without us even realizing it. This

is normal.

Most humans spend their whole lives operating. They might take a few breaks from this, but

they will return to it. People will spend years doing nothing else besides work. Many people

believe that they cannot live without work. However, when they die, they will have spent most

of their lives working. Most people died before they retired.

People who spend the majority of their time working tend to feel restless. They are

constantly worried about what they will do tomorrow and the next day. On top of that, they often feel stressed and anxious. When they retire, they usually have no idea what to do with

themselves. So, they end up spending much of their time sitting around watching TV and

surfing the Internet.

Food:

Food is also very important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We may forget to eat but without water, we couldn't survive even a few hours. So, any home or property should be equipped with enough food storage. Even if there's only 1 week’s worth of food left, we still need some level of sustenance.

The first basic need of human life is food. Food provides us energy to live our lives, work, study, play, and even sleep. Without proper nutrition, we won't be able to perform at our best. There are many different types of food and they vary from animal-based foods to vegetables. They may be fresh, cooked, raw, frozen, canned, processed, organic, non-organic, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc. According to dieticians, a balanced diet should contain the following key components:

• Protein - This is the foundation of any healthy meal. A protein-rich meal could consist of meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, legumes, nuts, tofu, etc.

• Fats and Oils - We need fats for brain function. Omega 3 oils are essential for heart muscle health, while omega 6s are used in the body for energy production.

• Carbohydrates - Complex carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, rice, oats, etc., and simple sugars like honey, syrup, etc., give us energy and also helps with digestion.

• Fiber - This refers to dietary fiber which keeps the digestive tract clean, lowers cholesterol levels, prevents constipation, and promotes good bowel movements. It also reduces hunger pangs.

• Water - Our bodies are mostly made of water. Drinking enough water every day will help flush toxins out of the body and keep us hydrated.

• Minerals - Minerals are needed for growth, development, bone strength, cell metabolism, tooth enamel, and blood formation. They are mainly found in plants and animals but some minerals can also be obtained through drinking fruit juice daily.

Shelter:

The shelter is also very necessary. Homes are generally designed to protect us from extreme weather conditions. However, homes cannot shelter against loss of income, medical bills, or job losses. And this can turn into homelessness. Many homeless shelters around the world offer a range of services to help those experiencing financial difficulties or personal hardships.
