The Position of Healthy Iranian-Islamic Lifestyle in Published Indigenous

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is one of the biggest challenges in all countries. Lifestyle can be defined as a way of living that pivots around desirable life patterns of a given individual and encompasses worldviews, attitudes, values, behaviors, patterns of social interactions, leisure time, and consumer patterns. Protection and preservation of a healthy lifestyle calls for consideration many factors by policy makers and strategic planners, and this goal can be achieved when the elite, academic and seminary communities are provided with a knowledge production discourse tailored with the dominant culture of countries with respect to the Islamic-Iranian lifestyle.

The present study was an attempt to investigate the position of healthy Iranian-Islamic lifestyle in published domestic literature.

In the present study systematic review is used to present a summary of relevant lifestyle literature, detect their strengths and weaknesses, and used the qualitative-quantitative mixed method to draw a conclusion about the position of a healthy Iranian-Islamic lifestyle in local published domestic literature. First, a list of keywords related to the subject of the study was prepared and then keywords were searched in domestic scientific databases. The keywords were extracted from Articles and dissertations authored during 2006 – 2016.

The results of literature review showed that lifestyle is one of the neglected subject matters in the field of health and has been subject of few studies.
Discussion and

Analyses results suggest that inconsideration of lifestyle by policymakers and strategic planners has caused researchers to overlook issues related to health and lifestyle. Development of a dominant scientific and research discourse in academic and seminary settings is the only factor that can contribute to formation of a healthy Iranian- Islamic lifestyle.
