WELLBEING

We are all familiar with the old saying “Health is wealth” and it is true for all generations. This saying emphasizes the importance of possessing good health. In the present times we all have a lot of engagements and are too busy to take care of ourselves. We take our health for granted and consider cough, cold etc and as a part and parcel of our daily life. Generally most of us avoid doctors or a thorough investigation. But these physical discrepancies are nothing but warning signals that something is wrong with our body. If we are lucky enough then the body on its own or with a little help from us (some medicines) will heal itself by balancing such discrepancies. But this attribute of the body to balance the imbalances within by itself is subject to age, nutrition and the wear and tear of the body. So when we are younger, being fit is not a very tough task. But as we advance in age we have to take small measures to keep our body’s defense mechanisms in a good condition at all times. That is the reason why doctors advise older people to have less spicy and oily food (risk of cholesterol) as the digestive tract is not strong enough to sustain such heavy food.
So in order to maintain a good and a healthy life we must always remember that HEALTHY LIVING MEANS MAKING POSITIVE CHOICES THAT ENHANCE ONES PERSONAL PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL HEALTH by making healthier choices daily and working together to create environments that support health, we can reduce our risk for illness and becoming fit both physically and mentally.
