Good Health is the Greatest Blessing by Santosh Kumar

US President Thomas Jefferson once remarked: “Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.”

There is no greater blessing on earth than having good health free from all diseases like high blood pressure, obesity, heart attack, cancer, diabetes, and several other diseases that are nowadays afflicting a large number of people across the world. Good health is shelters and rescues us from the increasing pressures and storms in life. Our life will be a little bit of paradise if we take care to keep good health.

Anthony Robbins aptly remarks: "The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results."

Regular exercise and balanced diet are very useful for our good health. Moreover, the following wise lines aptly reveal the indispensable things to be kept in mind for keeping good health:

Fight insomnia with gentle rocking or the sound of running water

Change surroundings and take long journeys

Strictly avoid frightening ideas

Indulge in cheerful conversation and amusements

Listen to music. -A. Cornelius Celsus

We should never forget that the greatest health is wealth. Health is "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities."- WHO's 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion
