Good health is something that gives joy to the health. There is nothing as sweet as being healthy.
Chronic ill health or disability can have a major impact on a person's life.
After becoming physically paralyzed, a once active and healthy man named Ulf said: "I became deeply depressed. My strength, courage, and power drained away.. I felt destroyed"
Ulf's experience reminds us that none of us have complete control over our health. Still, we can take reasonable measures to reduce the risk of ill health. But what if our health deteriorates? Does that doom us to happiness? Even the bible supports good health and so below are some factors that will enable good health.
BE MODERATE IN HABITS
Habitually eating or drinking to excess is obviously bad for our health - not to mention our finances.
DO NOT POLLUTE YOUR BODY
People defile their bodies when they chew or smoke tobacco or abuse alcohol or drugs. Smoking, for example leads to disease and disability and harms nearly every organ of the body, says the U.S. centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is so unfortunate that even after the warning that was placed for smokers, people still derive joy in shortening their lives.
VIEW YOUR BODY AND YOUR LIFE AS PRECIOUS GIFTS
BY [God] we have life, move and exist. Appreciating that fact moves us to avoid taking needless risks, whether we are at work, driving, or choosing our recreation. A momentary thrill is not worth a life of disability.
CONTROL NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
Your mind and body are closely linked. So try to avoid undue anxiety, unbridled anger, envy, and other harmful emotions. These emotions can cause a lot of harm to the body. For instance stroke that is caused as a result of a high blood pressure could amount from the negative emotions a person keeps.
TRY TO FOCUS ON POSITIVE THOUGHTS
A joyful heart is said to be a good medicine. It is a scientifically sound statement. " If you are happy," said a doctor in Scotland, "you are likely in the future to have less in the way of physical illness than those who are unhappy."
