Good food, good health, and stable sources of income are the three best gifts life could offer to each and everyone out there. These three gifts are what every man desire to have to live their best lives, which means in all you do, never forsake these three precious things for other less important things. They are the sweetness of life…
Health is wealth is a saying that has been in existence forever, my parents and teachers were the first set of people who made this saying known to my ears, i knew good health and good food is a must but then as a little child i was not really knowledgeable of relating it to good health. All i knew was just to eat, eat, and keep eating both junks and good foods…
The more i grew the more i knew the importance of good and comfortable food, when i say comfortable food, I mean food that gives me the pleasure of feeling at home, food that gives me both consolation and happiness, and the only food that gives me pleasure, consolation, happiness and joy are HOME COOKED FOODS, not just any home cooked meal, i mean food that are mainly prepared by my MOTHER…
I grew up eating my mum’s home cooked food rather than orders and take-outs, thanks to this privilege i have never really enjoyed or fancied ordered food, i never enjoy ordered food for many reasons, one is mode of preparation, hands that prepared it and how neat the environment where the food was made is.These three things are my major concerns about ordered food…
Moving on friends, food that gives me comfort and consolation are food prepared by my mom; home cooked food, food like Jollof-rice, fried rice, rice and stew, all accompanied by salad and any type of protein. I am also a big fan of swallow, i love eba and egusi soup, amala and okra/egusi soup, pounded yam and vegetable soup and many other, these foods are what i call food of comfort when specially prepared by my mom…
SELF CARE…
Self care is something i don’t take for granted every since i knew the importance of good health and good food. When it comes taking good care of myself, i’d go to the extreme lengths to satisfy my needs, I don’t take my self-care routine for granted…
Taking good care of myself means taking good care of both my physical health and mental health. It’s not possible to be physically sound and be mentally disturbed, this is not the self care routine I practice and indulge myself in, i make sure everything i do has positive impact in not just my physical body but also in my mental and physiological well being…
Eating good food, exercising, sleeping well and adequately, playing video games, watching k-dramas, bollywood, and hollywood movies is a key factor in taking good care of myself. Strolling out, chatting with my friends on discord and other social media platforms are some of the ways i take good care of myself…
All the above listed are my self care activities and i do them occasionally if not daily. Eating good food, sleeping well, watching movies are the constant activities but others are once in a while but soon i will be getting back to the gym. I need to get back to shape and keep my fitness level up and sharp…
LIFE ADVICE…
Lots of lives has been lost as a result of poor health conditions and management. A lot of people has taken their health for granted in the past and it didn’t end well for them, some lost their life in the process and other ended with a forever scar and regret for not taking good care of their health when it was required…
I have taken my health for granted in the past, i am sure we all have done it at one point in time in our life, maybe as a result of funds or any other reason, the fact is that we should never hesitate to always make our health our first and top most priority…
Good health doesn’t necessarily only mean routine check ups, it also means good hygiene and good food, eating well and at the right time, and also looking out for ones mental and psychological health…
In summary, peace of mind is the best gift you can give yourself, after this comes the big bag one is after, but never chase the big bag with an empty stomach or an illness, one might end up getting the big bag but not enjoy it to the fullest as a result of poor health…
In conclusion, eat good food, sleep well, exercise well, do regular check ups and i assure you everything is going to turn out fine and well…
