HEALTHy- WISE

“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.”

We talk about health, we hear about health, we might know all about health or we might be totally ignorant about it. It’s a big world with lots of people and lots of people with lots of different ideas. For sum the glass is half empty for others half full.( I am sure you all must have attended some or the other life coaching sessions, so how u see it half empty or half full?) the definition of health is different for everyone; you and me included.

It can be freedom from a physical pain or cure from a disease. Some might aim for eight packed torso and others to just loose that rotund belly. There might be some starving to gain that “zero figure” and a scrawny girl eating to gain some mass. One thing though remains same we all want to be healthy, presentable and able to enjoy life and more importantly live it and not just survive.

We might have different definitions but the one widely accepted and truly defines the wholesomeness of health is the definition issued by world health organisation recognised better as WHO, is a physical, mental and emotional well being and not just absence of disease or illness.  An interesting definition makes us wonder, are we really worthy to call ourselves healthy?

Let’s look at the physical, the emotional and the mental selves as best of pals, misery of one upsets the other two. . A poor physical health for example manifests frustration, depression making one bitter and melancholic on the other hand a stressed and troubled mind wears out the body making it tired and over worked losing interest in everything worthwhile affecting the emotional state.

Health is wealth, the most precious of all treasure that needs to be preserved just as we keep our jewels and other valuables because dear friends you can always earn back the riches but not the blessings of a good health. All our talents, skills and ambitions will fail if we don’t have a good health to sustain it. Napoleon would have decided to sit back at home rather than fighting if he had achy joints or Columbus would not have discovered America if he was battling constipation.

 In recent times look at our celebrities, our actors they are always fit and more importantly healthy dancing and climbing and jumping of trains and cliffs. They choose to be healthy, take time to care for their health and so should we even though we don’t need to jump off the cliffs or trains. All we have to do is eat right, exercise light to be healthy and wise.

Internet is the vast sea of information on anything we want and through this blog I am going to and try my best to enlighten all the aspects of health and the ways to improve and deal for our own good. I will try to deliver the needful information in an easily understandable manner just in the way I do when I counsel my patients. I always explain to them in-depth about their disease or any other health complication so that they fully comprehend why and how do they need to confront it.

Being poetic and more than a little smitten with literature I have mingled quotes and little poetic verses with scientific facts to make it fun and easy to remember. Here check this out,

“Be happy, be healthy

Eat and run wild

To be young and Wealthy

Play like a child”
