A Healthy Life Is Cheap
Would you rather run after money and forget to take good care of yourself? Truly, work is good. You will have to earn a living by working hard. As much as we have been told:
Any man who would not work, let him not eat.
This is what is expected of us all. We ought to work, in fact, working hard is not only to earn a living by putting food on the table but also to occupy one's mind and hands.
An empty hand is the devil's workshop.
The dignity of labour is in the truth that life will come to you when you engage in a productive activity no matter how it could be perceived by others.
Our talk today is not about working but about keeping fit. About living healthily.
Health is the well-being of an individual, body and mind. Human anatomy is designed in such a way that a lot of things can be done to hamper the free flow of sanity.
Care For Mental Health
Man is wired by nature to depreciate in status of health as age sets in. Thus, we ought to understand that some substances like food and supplements should be avoided to have a mental stable life.
Unrecommended Drugs
This is the beginning of drug abuse. When we take drugs that are not recommended to us by a medical expert that is registered by law, we have abused the usage of such a drug.
This common offense that endangers our mental health is what is in vogue in this generation. Teenagers and young adults now use drugs illicitly. This was not the common practice some two decades ago.
Substances are now abused without looking back by youths especially and the government has not put any serious instrument in place to curb this demeanour.
Unhealthy Eating & Drinking Habit
It is now a common habit to eat whatever comes our way. People have failed to take medical advice concerning food. They would rather eat junk food and food that is prepared in an unhygienic environment.
Alcohol is another way through which people care less about their health. The level of kidney diseases recorded in the world today is alarming.
Diabetes through the intake of high level carbohydrates and starchy food, beer inclusive is a reason why we experience diabetes.
The right kind of drink we should take the most is water. Water helps the body's metabolism.
