Importance of being healthy
In today's world, a rich man can buy almost everything. He can own an aeroplane or a number of expensive cars.
But there is one thing that he cannot buy — good health. Good health is man's most precious possession.
A healthy mind in a healthy body is what makes life worth living. And the two things, good health and a sound mind, always go together.
Without a healthy body, man may neither think great thoughts nor perform great acts.
Doctors tell us that some things work against good health.
Smoking is one. A smoker contracts more diseases and does so oftener than a non-smoker.
Another bad thing is eating too much. That is why doctors advise fat people to eat less and to give up fatty foods.
A third thing that goes against good health is irregular habits, such as eating at wrong hours, going to bed very late, and not doing one's work at regular hours.
Young people must do every thing to build healthy bodies and to maintain them. This will help them live happier lives and protect them from some of the ills of old age.
