“He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything.” – Arabian Proverb
Being well indeed comes before our well-being. Being well means being healthy and happy. Health is definitely wealth, which we all have to look towards. Being healthy means not only the absence of disease or sickness, but also how peaceful you are from within, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and, of course, physically.
Maintaining a fit body, eating right, and going to the gym are not the only things that people must work towards to achieve a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is one in which there is a balance between everything we do. The components of a healthy lifestyle include eating right, sleeping enough, keeping ourselves clean, meditating, thinking right, exercising, listening to good music, talking right, performing and engaging in healthy activities, exhibiting good manners and behavior, having a healthy circle of friends, family, and society, and a lot more.
Our "well-being" can be decided and promoted effectively if we are healthy, well, and sound-minded. Health greatly affects people's daily lives. If we are healthy, we will be able to carry out and discharge our duties, work, and responsibilities effectively. If we are not healthy or are suffering from illness and other problems, we will not be able to carry out and discharge our duties and responsibilities effectively and efficiently.
Somebody has rightly said, "A healthy mind lives in a healthy body."This saying is indeed very true. Our mind works effectively and efficiently when we are healthy, and vice versa.
Our health determines our relationship with others, our performance in any case, our efficiency, our effectiveness, our daily lives, etc. Being healthy or well is an important step on the road to achieving well-being for ourselves, our family, our friends, and eventually society. If people are healthy and sound-minded, society will become peaceful.
Thus, by drawing up all the points, people should do the following things to be healthy:
■ Exercising, going to the gym, etc.
■ Eating healthy, nutritional, and right food.
■ Meditating.
■ saying, listening, and communicating the right things.
■ Keeping yourself aware of the problems you are facing and solving them at the right time.
■ Taking good care of your mental and physical health.
■ Engaging in right and healthy activities.
And so on...
