"We do not value a thing properly until we have host it." It is only when we have lost a friend that we realize how much we have lost in him. So it is with health. Healthy persons do not value sufficiently the blessings of health. If you want to know what such a blessing as health is, you should go and ask the person who has lost it. He ‘will tell you such a piteous tale that you will never be careless about your health for the rest of your life only when you have lost your health that you realize that it was one of God ‘ best gifts to you,
Good health is very necessary for happiness and success. Those who do not posses good health cannot enjoy any happiness in life. Life appears to be a burden to them. Although we sometimes find weak and ailing people enjoying happiness and doing good work in spite of had health, such cases are few and exceptional. In the case of most people bad health means misery and failure
How to keep good mental health? Only by knowing and carefully observing the rules of health.
We must eat only good plain and wholesome food. We must not cat too much or too little. We must eat as much as is required to satisfy our hunger. Again, we should not take too many rich and dainty dishes which affect our health.
We must take physical exercise regularly. A ploughman or a coolie who works hard the whole day may not need exercise, hut those of us who do mental work need it most. We can get it in outdoor games, athletic sports, riding, running, walking or swimming, etc.
We must take in as much of fresh air as possible. We must not live in rooms where there is not enough sunlight and where we do not get plenty of fresh air to breathe. Many of us ruin our health by living in close, stuffy, and ill-ventilated rooms and breathing foul air. We must remain Out of doors for as long a time as we can.
We must work. We must not remain idle. “An idle man’s brain is the devil’s workshop.” An idle man cannot enjoy good health and happiness. Work is the spice of life. Honest, regular, interesting work. so long as it is not too exhausting, will do much to keep us in health.
We must take proper rest. If we go on working strenuously the whole day and do not take a rest at regular intervals, our health will be affected. Proper rest is necessary for the upkeep of our health. Continuous work without rest is bound to affect our health sooner or later.
We must have plenty of sleep. Going to bed late and rising early will soon exhaust our nerves and ruin our health. “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a mart healthy, wealthy and wise” runs the proverb. We must have lull sleep before we apply ourselves to our daily work. Oversleep is as harmful o our health as under sleeping is. Again, we must have sound sleep, i.e., sleep undisturbed by dreams and waking hours. Sound sleep means sound health. Only those that are weak and ailing do not enjoy sound sleep.
We must avoid had habits like drinking to excess, smoking, taking opium, and such secret vices as inwardly and silently ruin a man’s body and soul.
If we want to enjoy good health, our life must be free from cares and anxieties. “Care killed the cat” as the saying is. Cares and worries kill the vital parts and delicate tissues of our body which no amount of nourishment can properly revive. A care-worm man can hardly be found enjoying the radiant health which a man of carefree disposition is found to possess.
Lastly, contentment and peace of mind will do much to keep us healthy. A discontented person cannot enjoy the blessing of good health. A, person who possesses a contented and peaceful mind will generally not suffer from bad health.
