It is a sad fact that most people pay little attention to their

health until it is at risk. It is only then that people truly

realise that health and wellbeing is far more important than

money, and that all the money in the world cannot always buy

health.

When it comes to our health prevention is obviously better than

cure, it is better to take care of our bodies throughout our life

and avoid illness than to abuse our bodies and then realise how

precious our health is when it might be too late.

Our health and the state of our bodies is essentially determined

by our choices - our diet, exercise, environment, everything

about our lifestyle. There are some factors determined by

genetics but we control the key aspects of our health and life.

Even when our health is suffering because of factors we cannot

control (like disease) we can still exert a positive influence on

our lives by living a healthy lifestyle. By watching our diet and

eating pure foods and beverages filled with natural minerals and

vitamins, by exercising regularly, by living as we are designed

to live - in harmony with the world.

Over 50% of people suffer from digestion related diseases - but

when we consider how much 'junk' we eat that should be no

surprise. Many people take the easy route of eating sugarry,

starchy, fatty, and greasy unnatural foods and we will pay the

price with our health. It is only when we pay this price that we

appreciate how foolish our diet was.

It is incorrect to look at food in a black and white way saying

some foods are good and some are bad, in actuality most foods are

beneficial in some way if taken in moderation. For example a

glass of red wine is good for the heart, and smoking a cigarette

is good for digestion, but if you were to eat several vitamin

rich meals, you may actually encourage the growth of malignant

cells in your body!

Another factor for our physical health is our mental health,

although it is oversimplified to separate them, because they are

so interconnected. Our emotional status affects our health and

stress contributes to so many diseases - cancer, heart attacks,

mental diseases, etc. In the developed countries (USA, Japan, and

Western Europe) mental diseases and disorders are the number one

reason for disabilities.

For instance, depression can be considered a minor disorder - so

many people suffer from it for years and since they are still

alive, it cannot be that dangerous. Yes, it is true, that one

does not die immediately of depression, but when people are

depressed, they either eat more (chocolates, fat- rich foods) or

refuse to eat at all, which in turn impacts their physical

health.

We are surrounded by pollution, noise, and radiation in our daily

lives and all of this have a negative effect on our health. We

cannot hide from these things but we can occasionally get away

from them by going to parks or the mountains where there is clean

air and peace.

Sports and exercise are proven friends of health. Moderate

physical activity at least two times a week is relaxing to body

and soul for old and for young. Besides burning calories, regular

exercise helps one feel happier and in good shape. This in turn

affects positively his or her health.
