It seems many people still do not realize that the main thing always is to have genuine good health. The usual sad story is that people study and work all their lives just to spend what they earn on health rehabilitation. They abuse their bodies now for studies and work and suffer for it later.
If we're wise enough, we should restrain from repeating bad history. True health means we act right now! It doesn't matter what age you're in. You should start being healthy right now. Illnesses and age wait for no one. They are swift to catch up even on fast ones. More so on the slow.
Real health is not just building bulky muscles and six packs. That's a wrong concept of health, although a trim athletic body helps a lot. True health is holistic--you should be healthy physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and financially. If you pursue this doggedly, you attain your full potentials.
So, don't wait any longer. Act now!

Exactly. I have friends who slog all day long to get good scores and ignore the bright side of life and always fall sick. They are always shrouded with troubles like headaches and pains. I on the other hand give enough importance to studies and work, but also indulge myself in sports and such which keeps me all healthy. I might not top the class, but at least I ain't spoiling my health just to earn a few more extra money.
Being healthy in all aspects of life is very important. One should try to have an all round excellence in their life instead of sacrificing it to only one part of it.

yea, its enlightening how little our society values health and there should be a serious governmental campaign to bring awareness but theres so much profit from health its ludicrious. Our hospital has been building new buildings around it for 5 years now, their going to have a building for every part of your body. We value education much more than health.

You are absolutly correct!! I know that people want to do this, most just really dont know where to even begin. I know I always wanted to use a holistic doctor, but financially I am not there for now. I do try to keep myself as in balance with what I do have thow. It works pretty well for me and my family.

I wish I had known this years ago when I was in better health but I guess I am one that age and illness has caught up with. I use to think it was noble to sacrifice myself so i allowed a lot of people to stress me out over the years as well as take my hard earned money. Now I am struggling in every way and normally I would just say I made my bed so I have to lay in it, but the main reason I want to do something about my situaion is I have beatiful little girl that I did not expect to have, she is only 7 and she deserves the best that I can give her. I apprectiate your words of wisdom and I will whatever I can NOW to make things better.

People especially those who are fully surrendered with their jobs don't realize that the more workaholic they are the more their health is in danger. As my point of view, we should balance everything in our lives. We should be more focus on what we should prioritize. One thing i have learn in this life, If you are healthy spiritually, your physical facet will follow. Everything in you will be healthy. =)

You are right, the proper time to achieved True Health is right now, this very moment, not tomorrow, not next week or next month but now. Don't wait for you to say that it is too late when you don't have the option to do it. It is very sad that we are living in this world, spending our precious time working and working and after that when we receive our salary we spend it on buying medicines or for some health rehabilitation. We have to learn how not to abuse our bodies and learn to really love our own body. And yes you are right it is Holistic. I hope and pray that God will use you and me and all that are conected to you as the vessels of information so everybody will learn how to have that true Holistic Health. Let us do it!

Well, I can't agree with you more! Health is so important that it should be given top priority! As we all know, good health is over wealth.It is important to keep both mental and physical well-being in order to cope everyhing happened in our life. It is widely accepted that physical training will contribute to good healthy. I insist on doing exercise everyday!
