HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR HEALTH?

How Important Is Your Health?

	Does the title sound like a silly question to you? Everyone
knows that health is extremely important. Good health allows you
to enjoy life- to live it to the fullest. 	Nutrition is
essential to good health. There is so much “junk food” available
now. It is so easy to grab a high calorie snack which is totally
lacking in nutrition. It is just as easy to run to the fast food
place for dinner instead of cooking a nutritious meal. Without
proper fuel, an automobile will not give you good mileage and
may eventually stop running. The same is true with the body.
Keep fresh fruits and vegetables around for snacks. Take the
time to fix healthy meals. Don’t run out of good fuel. 	Another
major contributor to good health is exercise. You cannot just
sit and be healthy. Sorry you couch potatoes, but you need to
move. Get that blood pumping. Get those muscle moving. There are
many enjoyable ways to exercise. Get outside and take a walk. Go
out in the backyard and play with the kids. Find a sport you
enjoy (tennis is my choice). If everyone is watching television,
get down on the floor and exercise. Even sitting on the couch
you can do leg lifts, some light weights with your arms, or just
tense and relax muscles. You will find that when you exercise,
you will have more energy and feel better. 	The other
contributor to good health is a healthy, active mind. It needs
to work out just like the body does. Learn something new. That
will work out your mind. I just turned 60 and I am now learning
HTML. Talk about a foreign language! It has been a challenge and
I still have a long way to go, but I feel a sense of
accomplishment for learning as much as I have. For the last 7
years I dreamed of starting my own business. I have used my mind
and researched the “at home” industry. A few months ago I
started a business. That is a challenge also. What I have found
out is that all you have to do is make up your mind and then use
your mind and do it. I think most of us dream of being our own
boss. Think about it. 	I have always tried to eat the right
foods and exercise. Now that I am giving my mind a top-notch
work-out I feel like I am young again. All 3 elements are in
sync. LIVE….ENJOY….DREAM….GO AFTER THAT DREAM.
