[MEDITATION TIME] GOOD PRACTICES TO STAY HEALTHY AND HAPPY

The saying that prevention is better than cure is one I can describe as ageless, and often at times, I have been tempted to add that prevention is cheaper than cure. This is true because not only do we spend resources to treat avoidable diseases, resources which could have been used for better ventures, we also incur increasing wear and tear on our body systems.

Life is a gift entrusted to us for the benefit of those around us but we must start by taking care of ourselves before we take care of others. As such, it is imperative to take necessary steps to ensure that we stay healthy. This can be achieved by good practices such as: 

1.     Maintaining good hygiene and environmental sanitation 

2.     Good nutrition 

3.     Healthy lifestyle practices – staying away from smoking, zero or minimal alcoholic ingestion, an anti-sedentary life style (exercising regularly), minimizing stress, drinking lots of water and staying away from excess fats and processed sugars 

4.     Consulting appropriate qualified health practitioners about your health concerns 

5.     Taking drugs as prescribed and when in doubt, seek the help of a pharmacist 

6.     Being knowledgeable about health-related matters – through reading print outs, leaflets, health bulletins and magazines, watching health talks and videos or attending health seminars, talks, etc 

This is a simple reminder about a basic necessity of life. Give it a thought, practice it and you will be glad you did. We put this down for you because we care, please Share this with friends to show them you care too.

We love you!
