We would never know how thankful we should be until we are sick and have to be confined to the bed. We just don't feel well at all and we lost our appetite for food. Worst of all, we have to take medicine and sometimes we need to receive injections to treat our sickness. We may have headache, backache, pain of all kinds, fever, diarrhoea, or difficulty in breathing etc.
I feel that we should be very thankful that we are healthy, able to do all the activites of daily living,free from all aches and pains and do whatever we wish at anytime and anywhere. Such a wonderful blessing.

Hi ketping, to me the most valuable treasure is health. Nothing could bear comparison with it. I believe people who have experienced the pain as well as agony of serious illness would realize this deeply. We could just imagine how torture and pitiful the patient is if to be confined to bed all the time. He has lost the freedom of what a healthy person should have. He no longer could enjoy the basic normal life as an ordinary healthy person though he is a very wealthy man. Besides he has to take the disgusting medicine as well as the injection regularly. And there are still some severe treatments which might suffer a lot when come across certain awful treatments.
I'm always happy to live a healthy and normal life. Of course we have to take care of health and refrain ourselves strictly from taking excessive unhealthy foods and drinks. Other than taking nutritive foods, we have to maintain our health by having proper sleep, drinking enough clean water, having physical exercise regularly, having amusing and happy time, having positive thinking, etc 
Take care and happy posting!

Hi, Ikbooi, I am indeed very glad that you are an intelligent woman who value the most important aspect of our life which is our health. What you had mentioned are so true and are the actual scenerio when we lost our health. The reason why I brought up this topic is to share with others that it is so vital for us to be thankful for being healthy for good health is indeed our greatest treasure.
But besides taking good care of our health, leading a happy and good life, we need to have spirituality in us. All that you are doing are highly recommended, Ikbooi but please spend some time with GOD too. Thank GOD for giving you good health everyday for God is the almighty authority and HE is with us at all times.
Thank you Ikbooi and good wishes to you too.

Yeah, that's why there are countless of places like church, temple, mosque, etc available everywhere for people who believe in their respective religions to worship. Might be occasionally, when encountering knotty problem which is difficult to resolve we could seek help from our mighty God solely. Really we should thank God for giving us health all the time. I believe God would take care of those who are willing to take care of themselves in everything. But for those who never like to take care of their health and eat and drink too much and rely on God in things which they wish to have like health and so on totally until they need it badly. Happy posting

Thanks, Ikbooi. Of course, GOD always save those who save themselves. We have to take good care of our health in order to be healthy
We should take care of our health now that we are healthy and not wait till our body is diseased. Likewise, we do not wait till we have knotty problems than only pray to GOD. We should have GOD in our heart always. This is to help us to maintain clear consciousness while we are in this world till eternity.
For at the end of it all, Ikbooi, all that we prossess in this world is perishable except our soul and spirituality.
Best wishes and happy mylotting.

Definitely, I am so very thankful that I am healthy. Although, I have back pain occasionally, but I am still grateful that I am still very healthy in overall. I know there are many people suffer much more than me. I feel pity to others when I saw the unlucky people being tortured by their illness and moaning in agony. Therefore, I am thankful to my parents for giving me a healthy body and raise me up with nutritious food. Besides, they educated me about the importance of keep ourselves healthy and about how to implement a healthy life style too.

Definitely, to please my parents with righteous way of life and doing good deeds, are part of the way to thank them, for providing me the foundation of healthiness.
Other than this, the way to show my appreciation towards the health that I possess, is trying my best to help others who are in need, as much as possible. We must utilize our asset well, or it's ashamed to be gifted with healthy body.
Happy mylotting too and have a great day!

That's good, cheongyc. I am very glad that you are thankful for being healthy. Ya, occasional backache is nothing compared to the great suffering of many patients. It is very disheartening to see patients moaning in pain or ventilated patients struggling to survive yet another day while we are so healthy, running here and there and yet taking their health for granted.
You are indeed lucky to have good parents who have given you all the vital necessities of life. Besides, being thankful to them, I hope you would live a righteous life and live up to your parents' hardwork and expectations.
Happy mylotting.

In the midst of doing good deeds, I hope your health is not compromised in one way or another. Please keep yourself and assets free of all risks and do not underestimate other people's unseen harm or bodily complications. I also hope you are strong in controlling your emotions and prosses sufficient wisdom while doing your best to help others. Of course, we need to utilize our assets and a gifted healthy body well and not be drowned in any situations but maintain your identity and dignity as a man with great respect and trust.
May the best be with you always.

It is well said that "Health is Wealth". Man can only be happy if he is happy. Otherwise, it doesn't how rich a guy is, if he not healthly, he won't be able to enjoy life. There are restriction on eating and many other activity. I am really thankful to god that I am healthy.

Being thankful is a very powerful thought that will bring contentment and peace within the soul. Keep silence and close your eyes for just a few minutes. Contemplate on this thought and you will understand what I am trying to tell you.
