Teachers ‘Health: Teachers’ Day is celebrated with great enthusiasm in India on 5 September every year. This day is to honor our gurus, who not only give us knowledge but also groans the future of society. But have you ever wondered what teachers who are busy teaching children day and night, are their own health? On the occasion of Teachers’ Day, let us talk about how teachers can maintain physical and mental health in their busy lives.

Life of teachers: how busy, how challenging?

Being a teacher is not an easy task. Wake up early in the morning, teaching children, checking homework, and then fulfilling other responsibilities of the school – all this is part of the teachers’ routine. Many times lesson plans have to be made till late night. In such a run, teachers often ignore their health. His physical and mental health is affected due to long sitting, irregular eating and stress.

Why is it necessary to prioritize health?

Teachers are the role model of society. If they are healthy and energetic, then children will also get inspiration to live a healthy life. But under constant work pressure, teachers start having problems like back pain, fatigue, and stress. According to a study, more than 60% of teachers in India face some kind of health problem, including obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. In such a situation, it is very important for teachers to give priority to their health.

How to take care of health in busyness?

It may be difficult for teachers to find time, but small changes can make a big difference in their health. A walk or yoga of 20-30 minutes daily in the morning or evening keeps the body fit. After sitting in school for a long time, it is also beneficial to do light stretching by taking a 5 minute break every hour. Include nutritious diets like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in the catering. Do not forget to drink water, because dehydration further enhances fatigue.

Mental health is also important

Along with physical health, it is equally important to take care of mental health. Teachers often face pressure from children, parents and school administration. Meditation, deep breathing or adopting any hobby of your choice can be helpful to avoid stress. Spending time with friends and family also reduces mental stress. On Teachers’ Day, take a pledge that you will not ignore your health.

Contribution of society: What to do for the health of teachers?

Teachers are important not just for themselves, but for the whole society. The school administration and the government should also take steps for the health of teachers. Health check -up camps, yoga sessions, and stress management workshops should be organized in schools. The society should also give respect to the contribution of teachers not just one day, but every day. It is our responsibility to take care of his health.

On Teachers’ Day, let us not only respect our gurus, but also inspire them for their health. Teachers can be healthy and happy even in their busy lives with small steps. After all, only healthy teachers can build a healthy society.
