We are in the fast-paced 21st century where the word impossible is slowly slipping away from the dictionary.
There’s growth and advancement everywhere except for one thing…
Health!
If there’s one thing that has taken a backseat in our lives in this modern century, it is taking care of our own health.
I believe now is the time that we cherish it and strengthen it for years to come.
In today’s article, I will talk about 5 major reasons we should take better care of our health.
So, let’s get started
The first reason why health should be your topmost priority is that:
It Makes You Feel Good
Let me ask you a question here:
How do you feel when you are down with fever, body pain, runny nose, migraine, and nausea?
Yeah…
I am sure nobody feels good.
When we are feeling sick, the only thing we want is our recovery. We do not think about a pay raise, a dream car, or an expensive watch during those moments.
All we want is to get better so that we feel healthy again!
The quality of our overall health and how we feel about ourselves are interlinked.
We feel good about ourselves if we are healthy, fit, active, and away from chronic diseases. Because we enjoy doing things we love.
Also, if we are healthy, it promotes healthy relationships with our loved ones. This brings us to our second reason for embracing health and wellness:
Your Health Affects Your Relationships With Others
I am sure you are surprised here and might even think, “Hey, what crap is this?"...
But, believe me, your health plays a significant role in your relationship with others.
If you are stressed or not feeling good physically and mentally, will you be able to enjoy quality time with your spouse, parents, kids, or friends?
I don’t think so!
To be 100% emotionally, physically, and mentally available for your loved ones, you need to first take care of yourself. Remember the saying "you can’t pour from an empty vessel".
Moving on to the third reason for taking care of your health.
You Feel Energetic
Some chronic diseases like blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, obesity, etc., have become increasingly common.
The most alarming thing is that teenagers and young adults are also victims of these diseases.
I mean, this is quite disturbing, right?
Think of the health condition of these teenagers when they hit their 40s or 50s?
One of the major reasons for the widespread of these diseases is our health negligence.
Now I ask you: Who will feel more confident and energetic:
Feeling fit, strong, and full of energy allows you to enjoy your life to the fullest.
Talking about life and enjoyment brings us to the 4th important reason for taking care of our health, which is:
You Live Longer
One thing that I want you to remember here is that your lives are connected with others.
You are not the only person who has a job and work commitments.
You have a family, a group of friends, and your kids who love you.
Your life is important to them. Hence, this should be your biggest reason to take care of your health. Taking care of your diet, managing your stress, and indulging in light exercise work will miraculously improve your health and help you live longer.
So, next time you feel you are neglecting your health, just look at your parents’, spouses’, or kids’ faces. Your family needs you. And to give them your best, you first need to be mindful of your health.
The last reason for embracing health is actually a bit different. But if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.
Cuts Down Medical Costs
I have a challenge for you all. I want you all to show me just one person who says he doesn’t want more money?
I bet you will lose :)
Because nobody in their right mind will say that. People need money to buy things they love, upgrade their living styles, and live a comfortable life.
Now, I am not a financial expert or a high-income coach who will share the secrets of doubling your wealth. But I can share a small tip that will save you money.
And it’s quite simple: You have to take proper care of your health!.
Buying medicines, running tests, visits to doctors, etc., can burn a hole in your pocket. And trust me, it’s not something that people love. If you take baby steps to improve your health, you will see a decline in your medical expenditure.
The famous quote "health is wealth", is 100% true in its essence.
If you are healthy, you can do anything in your life, trust me.
And improving your health doesn’t have to be a task. You have to make small changes in your lifestyle starting today.
Nobody is asking you to make a huge transformation.
