Health is Wealth !!
HEALTH!! Often used word with everyone having a
different definition and perspective.
Some define health as not having any disease, for some its mental health
and for some its social wellbeing. WHO (World Health Organization) defines
Health as “State of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease”
Being healthy
is the biggest joy and blessing and the real wealth one should collect. There
is no success without good physical and mental health. Good health is the most
powerful resource to every facet of our lives. If we are not fit then we cannot
focus and excel at work, studies or even family. And this only attracts
failures and unhappiness.
Ironically, most
of us start focusing on health only when we start losing it and sometime when
it’s too late. The trick is to prevent getting sick than to cure it. It is
never too late to focus on the most important aspect of life.
Achieving
Good Health
Achieving and
maintaining good health is not a very difficult task. Remember, health is our
biggest support and friend and it tends to bounce back with small lifestyle
changes, focus and discipline.
Yes, discipline
is one of the most needed ingredient if you are looking to get healthier.
Simply making plans and diet charts is not enough. Following it is the key.
Simply said, getting healthier is not a short term goal, but it is a lifestyle
change. It should become a pattern of living which involves great amount of
discipline and self-control.
Our day to day
habits, activities, thoughts and choices influence our health and well-being.
What is critical here is making a deliberate attempt to keep them positive,
nourishing and active.
Importance
of Being Healthy
The importance
of being healthy and fit cannot be stressed enough for living a fulfilling,
prosperous and happy life. Sickness, deteriorated health and weakness can prove
to be huge hinderance in the way to achieve professional success, personal joy
and family bliss.
The biggest benefit of being
healthy is to stay away from illness. Physical diseases like High Cholesterol, Diabetes,
Hypertension, PCOD etc., and mental illness of stress, depression and anxiety
are evaded by keeping yourself positive, active and careful. These are rightly
categorized as Lifestyle disorders.
Being in this reduced physical
and mental state can pull down the confidence, create negativity and
frustration and ultimately lead to the grip of failure.
Lifestyle principles
for a healthier life
Well-being is not just about
healthy food, but it is the relationship and association of healthy thoughts,
actions and feelings. When we talk about being “Healthy” we definitely don’t
mean being “Slim”. Being fit is a state where the mind and body compliments
each other to feel strong, confident and beautiful.
Principles to keep in mind for a healthier life
1) Sunlight
2) Water
3) Physical Exercise
4) Food and Nutrition
5) Positive Thinking
6) Stress Management
7) Rest and Sleep
Will elaborate more on these principles in the next
post.
Conclusion
There will always be those daily struggles of life.
Be it meeting our professional targets, Financial targets, Family responsibilities
and Social Obligations.
However, keeping health and fitness as a priority
is extremely important to keep equilibrium between success and happiness.
Keep in mind the Golden Rule - Health Is Wealth
