Health experts advise on digital wellness and healthy lifestyle routines

Medical experts are emphasizing the importance of conscious habits over temporary fixes to maintain mental and physical health. Associate Professor Ali Erdoğan from Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine suggests that 'digital detoxing'—temporarily abandoning the internet—is not a permanent solution to the issues caused by excessive screen time. Instead, he advocates for developing healthy digital usage patterns to combat mental fatigue and distraction caused by constant notifications.

In a separate discussion on holistic wellness, Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Halil Ertürk highlights that chronic health issues often present early warning signs such as poor sleep quality, energy loss, and decreased stress tolerance. He defines wellness as supporting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health through daily conscious choices. Key recommendations for improving well-being include prioritizing sleep hygiene through consistent schedules and sunlight exposure, managing caffeine intake, and avoiding heavy meals late at night.
