I generally don't think that people take care of theirselves. in fact living in our world is becoming more and more difficult. people have to live faster and faster and often they fogert of the most important thing. The Health. is it true?

pay attention to health - For most people, paying no attention to health means that they have given up enjoying a better life.
When it comes to health, I guess most people hold the idea that taking care of health is a necessity, but only few people can pay some attention to their health. It is obvious that helath is an important of our life. But as you have said above, people have to live faster and faster and often they forget the most important thing-- our health. With the development of our society, the surroundings have changed a lot. With the financial crisis, most people have to work hard in case of being laid off. When they pay more attention to house, money and job, then health will be ignored easily. Health is out of question the most important part of us. Without, we can't continue our daily life. It is impossible to enjoy a better life even if they are rich and have high-paid jobs.

wmaths yes we should and no we don't always, me I livein a retirement center where I do not get a lot of say over what is on my plate, so all I can do is eat what I feel is healthy and halve the large servings of carbs as i am a diabetic and they sure do not cater for our needsof lower carbs and more veggies and fruits but i try to buy some things to fill in where they are lax. mybig problem is sleep as i do not get enough. it is hard to sleep with a roommate as i am used to having a bedroom to myself.But hopefully sooner or later I will adjust more.

absolutely. people should take care of their health. no matter how busy we are, don't forget to exercise and eat heathy foods regularly. no health, no anything. besides, under high stress, people must learn how to face the difficulty, and how to reduce stress by themselves.

yeah. in many countries now it is expensive to receive the cures or to buy medicines. fortunately in my country the institutions take care of our health.

sorry. the word "medicines" is not correct i think. i meant all the product that we have to buy in a pharmacy if we are ill.

Yes I agree we should take care our health because now a days it is very expensive to get sick and hospitalized. It is hard to do now a days because everything is instant and we are too busy to mind eating healthy. I'm guilty about not eating healthy because I'm also need to lose weight I tried to to exercise and to eat healthy but is hard to do it needs patience and discipline.

I think they should try. It is hard these days for somethings you think is good for you turns out to be bad. Maybe go to herbs and learn more the old methods would mean a healthier life for everyone. Things are so high in price sometimes it is hard to just buy what is good. Have a good day.

My mom always told me that as long as you have your health, everything else is gravy. It's true, I think. You can have all the money in the world but if you lose your health, you've lost everything.

People should take care of themselves for their own good and to live a quality life but I think most people are not exactly health conscious and that's why they don't look after themselves very well. To an extent, I agree.

People have different lifestyles so sometimes they unintentionally forget about their health. For those who are always busy, it's enough for them to just grab whatever is available in a fastfood or vending machines just to satisfy their hunger. There are also those who dont pay attention to what they eat because of lots of available junks and ready to eat food that they can easily buy anywhere. But of course, it's health is not only about food. It's also about how we discipline our bodies like engaging in fitness or physical activities, how we think if we allow ourselves to be occupied with worries and problems and other stuff that affect our well being. I could say I'm guilty in probably one or some of these things I've mentioned but of course it's important that we pay attention to our health. And even though this saying is already old, it's true that "health is wealth."

yes. i think that one of the most important problems about our society is the conception of fast food. the food that we eat there is generally dangerous for our health, if we eat it frequently.

I've noticed this with a lot of people I know. I wish I could say I take care of my own health, but I'm overweight and LOVE to eat. I'm trying to lose weight and become healthy by exercising more and eating healthier foods, because I don't want one of those 'silent killers' to sneak up on me. I want to live my life to the fullest, and longest, it can go, and I believe being healthy is a huge part of that.

oh my god. don't talk about silent killers. it's too much. eheh... anyway we should be more confident with our health. :)

My answer is yes! As we all know with a good health,it's hard for someone to do what he want to. But the‘care’ in my mind doesn't equal thinking about the effect to our health before doing anything.If we do so,we are caring too much and that will bring something bad in the end I think.At the same time,we should not neglect the fact that we cannot balance everything all good for our health in most situations. To the situation in the world now,I think most people are ignoring the health while keeping up with the world.So care more about our health will never too much at present.

Of course, health is wealth as the saying goes. how can you be at your outmost performance everyday if you are ill. Can you stand alone, you will ask someone to help you stand and walk. you are just giving a problem to other person, instead of doing their own job they are checking on you. Dreams will go far away to reach if we are ill. We can't make it happen, we will procastinate of doing it. We cannot attend to our daily jobs too, we can't face computer , can't do the paper works, because our brain is not working. When we are not healthy or we have illness, we will never be accepted in a job we dream of because all that are accepted in the job are those healthy people. There are many things we will unable to do and this will cause our sadness and we can't avoid to feel regrets and pinpoint our health issues. To avoid those problems I shared, let us take care of our health. This is not only for us, but for our family and friends also, because they need us.

Hello wmaths this is checkmail and I agree with your thought, that peoples must take care out their help themselves.In today's world, the time is money and its continues even when we sleep or take rest.So mostly peoples are busy with their daily routines for their livehood.But they also must not underestimate the Health required to perform such daily routines.We must get some time out of our daily busy routine to improve our health as well as to heal ourself.Else there will be only money not ourself to enjoy it properly.

Hello Everybody Today in this busy routine every one seems to be in a hurry. work, study,home,society and other matters make one's life very busy. But in this busy schedule no one seems to be taking good care of their health seriously . Its hard for every one to give some of their precious time to the seem to be less important health awareness But everyone can try.Its always better.

While discussing about such topics it is not easy to generalize and state 'people act like this', since various opinions and various lifestyles exist. The main issue here is related with economic situation of the people. I dont have the latest economical datas but, it is not a secret that worlds income distribution is rather unbalanced. While a small percent of world population holds main resources of the world, most of the world population lives in unhealty conditions. Naturally this majority does not care about their health as they should. Instead they struggle for earning enough to continue living. And they spend their earnings for food and shelter. On the other hand, rich people have all the means to take care of health. In conclusion, everyone take cares of their health (certain exceptions not included), since it is human nature. When we are in pain, we seek to erase that pain. So people do not take care of their health on purpose, they do not have enough fundings to take care of their health. So instead of erasing the pain, they endure it and delay it.

I think you should definitely take care of your health, but some people don't have the time because of work. For example, people who work two jobs, or even one job but have to take care of their children, might not be able to get the sufficient amount of sleep their body needs. But I also think there are people who just don't care, and have this "whatever happens to me, happens" attitude.. And it's sad because when you're healthy it's so easy to take it for granted and it's so easy not to care until something happens, and then you realize just how ignorant and stubborn you were. And I think people should care a lot more, because there are all sorts of new viruses spreading around that are killing people. H1N1 for example, you can catch that anywhere now, and even though there's a flu vaccine for it, there's no guarantee that it'll be available when you need it. So, I think now we definitely need to take care of ourselves.
