Educate Yourself To Take Care Of Your Health Well!

“Health is not valued till sickness comes.” Dr. Thomas Fuller

According to some research and experts, many people don’t know how to take care of their health well. Learning to take care of one’s health is very important today in this changing world where all kinds of foods and temptations are available. Many people don’t eat what they should actually consume. They forgo what is good for health and consume what is bad for health. It seems that taking care of one’s health is an adventurous journey.

Yesterday, I consumed some food, which I thought was good for me but it turned out to be bad for my health. Once I fell sick, I thought I should not have eaten it. But there is nothing one could do when one has consumed the wrong stuff than to endure the mistake. Be careful what you eat and eat what is healthy for you. With fast foods around the corner, one has no other choice than to fall prey to these instant foods which are so alluring yet can be fatal to one’s health. It is therefore important to choose and eat healthy stuff so that we can take care of our health well.

Today it has become a great challenge for people to take care of themselves well. It is not so easy though there are advanced medical health services around the world. It appears that more and more people are suffering from various diseases which wouldn’t have happened if people had taken well care of themselves. With little disciplines and practices of good habits people could easily stay healthy throughout their lives provided they are ready to stay fit and be firm in the choice of consuming right stuffs.

These days people have learned to smoke well, drink alcohol well, consume nicotine and use drugs for the sole purpose of entertainment and fun but they haven’t educated themselves about eating and taking care of their health. Health is not taught in the schools and colleges. It is a sad part of the reality that so many children are victims of many diseases at early age itself. The government has placed health care facility to help people to be healthy but it is not educating the children who would become adult patients if they continue to neglect their health.

The world is full of chemicals and today we are consuming chemicals all the time. These chemicals are filled with toxins and they are poisonous. The bottled water is considered to be safe and clean but due to the presence of chemicals, it doesn’t qualify to be healthy but people drink it any way. Many medicines have so much side effects that hardly one is cured of their illness. When one disease is cured, another disease is born after the use of a prescribed medicine because it has severe negative side effects. In reality, when one falls sick by any case, it is like a flat tyre which can’t be guaranteed to be all new and strong. When people fall sick they have less time to correct their original immune system. It becomes a hard job to restore the original human immunity.

Many people are ignorant about health issues and as a result they fall sick. If these people had a good health education, then surely many diseases could be avoided and prevented. Every day thousands of people visit doctors to consult about their health conditions and they expect the doctors to educate them but doctors have no much time to educate people. When you consult them, they try to finish the process of examination short and unclear because they have another patient to attend to as a result they do the diagnosis quickly. It takes less than five minutes to consult the doctor and there is not much time to clarify some doubts.  Who must be responsible to educate oneself to take care of one’s health? It is obviously, each individual must be responsible to take care of one’s health.

I am neither a physician and nor an expert in giving advice to people. I don’t qualify to teach people about health. My purpose of writing this article is just to make people educated about the importance of staying healthy and taking care of oneself. Nobody is going to live your life and nobody is going to teach you how to stay healthy and take care of yourself other than you. So it is better if you consider enough to educate yourself so that your health will be good and you will live your life happily. What is good for me and what works well for me in order to stay healthy may not serve you so you must educate and learn what is best for you.
