HEALTH IS WEALTH
By : TSURTIDOGNI 113008 Sunday What does it mean to be healthy? Good health is expressed inside and out. An image of a healthy person usually shows a lean body, rosy or pink complexion, white teeth, shining hair, sparkling eyes, and a smiling face. Why ? Because good health really shows on the outside. The standard of beauty is being tied with health. Good health also means a good disposition. A healthy person is a happy person. A person is a healthy person when he tends to view life with optimism, adaptable, can cope with stress, responds positively to challenges, and has a good sense of humor. We develop good health through proper nourishment of our bodies and our minds. What we eat contributes to health. What we also think makes a great difference that leads to a healthy life. Start your day with a healthy breakfast to gain energy for the rest of the day. Aside from healthy food intake that we learned from day to day living, here are some useful tips to gain health : 1. SMILE With a smile, we project health, vitality, beauty and charm. So keep smiling. 2. SING Singing drives the troubles away. If you cannot sing, hum a tune. It is a way of a bright and lovely beginning of the day. 3. LAUGH Do not forget the saying, "Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone." One more ! "Laughter is the best medicine." Laughter surely works ! 4. DANCE/EXCERCISE This keeps the body fit and trim. You cannot dance ? Stretch your arms , kick your legs, sway your body, clap your hands. Move, walk ! 5. GIVE THANKS A grateful heart is a blissful heart. Give thanks to God for everything. 6. WATER POWER Drink plenty of them. Not only the regular 8 glasses a day, but more and more. Water balances the pressure, acidity and the chemical composition of the body. Try a water therapy for the ailments of the day, and tomorrow will surely be a great day. 7. REACH OUT Say hello and smile to everyone. Talk to a child. Listen to the chirping birds. Touch a leaf. Smell a flower. Reach out and offer your hand for any service you can freely give, like offering a seat to the disabled, helping an elderly crossing the street, and many more that makes your day complete. Yes, treasuring our health truly rakes in wealth. Treat it like a precious gold because by doing so you will be shining through and it surely makes you glow .
