With many discussions about health, I’ve learned something different today. My mind had full thoughts of what would be the right exercise to burn fats and become healthy. And I think most of us are now conscious about the things we can do to reduce the risk of having different diseases. I have known some friends who actually bothered about how they can be healthy especially the kind of lifestyle we have right now. Some of them have started to do simple walking just to burn their extra fat deposits. Some went to fitness centers jut to become fit. Some are very conscious about the food they eat so they started to eat raw foods. Some bought healthy products just to be sure that they will look sexy and healthy.
I can really say that the healthy-conscious year had just started. Diseases that we do not bother or we do not know before are now already popular like cancer (cancer of the lungs, heart, kidney, prostate, bones, blood and so many others). With these, I think people are now awake of the reality that anytime we can be victims of these diseases. We do not want to be hospitalized. It’s very expensive to have illnesses. The treatment and medicines are now expensive. Are we willing to give up more money? Or do we have the resources for us to pay the hospital bill? For those who can afford then this question may not be very difficult for them to answer because I’m sure they are willing to give up their resources for them to be healed of their illnesses. But how about those who cannot afford? What will happen to them?
Since, we have known this reality then we should be careful about our health. We know that there is a big trade-offs in answering the problems of our body. That is why a good and meaningful investment in life is to invest in health first. Everything would be meaningless if we don’t have the life to live anymore. Our aspirations and dreams would not be attainable if our health is at risk. The benefit you can get out of your investment in health is more than the profit you can earn from all other investments. Experts said that prevention is better than cure. If we started to practice a healthy lifestyle, the susceptibility of having illnesses would be lesser and sometimes you will not experience it at all.
In my class, I always emphasize that they should care about their health. We have only one life to live so we must take care of it and give value to our existence. We know the consequences of a bad health habits so we should use our being rational. If we know that what we are doing is bad for our health then stop it. Do not wait for the effect before it’s too late. But then again as humans, we embrace more of the things we are prohibited of. Masarap ang bawal ika nga. Well, it’s up to you. Would you want to risk your life and your existence? If you say yes, you are not different from those who commit suicides. You are killing yourself so softly. God never gave us a life to destroy rather He gave us a life to live on its full benefits and meaning. So, value your life more than anything else. Start investing on a healthy lifestyle. Remember prevention is better than cure.
