A Sound Mind in a Sound Body

Medicines are not meant to live on

English proverb

Health is just the thing to be happy for huge number of people. It is above wealth, it is the vital principle of bliss. Though, it often happens that health is not valued till sickness comes because we often forget that prevention is better than cure. We can forget about initial principles of health trying to climb our personal Everest in education or at work. A lot of people neglect this principles consciously by their bad habits and even don't worry about losing of this habits because of despair, apathy, fears, lack of will-power. 

The sooner we understand self-control is the key to healthy life, the better. This means that not everything, but a lot depends on ourselves.

If the man has an opportunity to avoid spending money to medicines he can't loose a chance to spend time and effords to stay as fit as a fiddle. 

Our well-being lies in harmony of our body, mind and soul. The key of health is the balance in its essential interconnected aspects: physical health, emotional health and social health. 

To achieve and to support our physical health, we should make more nutritional and healthy food choices, engage in basic hygiene, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep and avoid self-medication applying to healthcare services to prevent, detect or treat illnesses.

The central place in our emotional health takes our energy. If it is strong, we feel a full range of emotions, including joy, contentment and peacefullness, and we are able to contribute to our relationships and society. Weak energy is the cause of negative feelings, depression and absence of interest in moving forward through life. As our emotions are connected with our body, it's important don't let it be exhausted when being tired, but give your body an opportunity to rest, to renew and to refresh. If you can't efford yourself some time to sleep, the temporary alternative may be the change of activity. One of the best relief of dark feelings is movement: it may be a long walk, going to the gym. Helping the energy inside your body move with your blood can relieve your experience of 'stagnant' emotions. A supportive idea of changing your emotions may be talking with the person you entrust. Also, as Philip Chesterfield said, good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison.  

Social health refers to effective way a person performs his roles in life as a son/daughter, a spouse, a friend, a neighbour, a co-woker, a citizen, etc. Cooperating helps us to thrive in a busy and ever changing world. Relationships that work require skills and efforts, not luck or magic. Responsibility, giving love and respect to others are important factors of social health.

Summarize: generally, every man is the author of his own health. To save our treasure - health - we'd worry about our body, mind and soul. The best promoter of our health is cheerfulness. The way we eat, the way we think, the way we behave influence the quality and duration of our life.
