Health - Your Most Valuable Asset
Health - Your Most Valuable Asset
Your health is undoubtedly your most valuable asset. So with
that in mind how do you protect your health ?
Yes you probably have health insurance to look after your health
if you become ill and car insurance to take car of you should
your health suffer as a result of a car accident. But isn't that
paying someone else to look after your health after things go
wrong ? A bit like closing the stable door after the horse has
bolted ? What are you doing, or, what should you be doing to
look after your health right now ?
Do you get regular health check ups ? Do you exercise & eat all
the right foods that are beneficial to your health ? Do you use
health care products such as health supplements ? Do you smoke,
drink or take drugs ? Are you aware of how these habits affect
your health ?
I'm willing to bet that you make darn sure you look after your
children's health, making sure that they are not doing anything
that is going to cause long term damage to their health ? But
who is watching your health ? Who's making sure you are not
doing anything to damage your health ?
Health is probably something we all take for granted & only
realise how important our health is when we are ill or someone
close to us is suffering from ill health. However if we all do
nothing in regard to our health now, waiting until we begin to
suffer from ill health & then trying to do something about it
may be too late as we may have already done irreparable damage
to our health. If you could do something now to prevent one of
your assets diminishing, such as your bank balance, your home or
your car would you ? Yes of course you would, so what about your
most valuable asset, your health ?
Well it's about time that someone took control of your health,
and that someone is you ! Take control of your health now and
make sure that valuable asset, your health, is well and truly
looked after. Here are some suggestions that might help you to
look after your health:
Get regular health check ups. If you have a good health
insurance these are probably insisted upon. After all we all
give our cars regular "health" checks, isn't our health more
important than the health of our vehicles? Make sure you eat a
healthy diet. Even if you don't need to loose weight the right
diet can help to improve your health. Take regular exercise. 30
minutes a day at least 5 days a week, even if it's just a couple
of 15 minute strolls, that's not to great a chore to protect a
valuable asset - your health. If you smoke, stop now ! This is
probably the best thing you can and ever will do for the sake of
your health. Cut down on your alcohol intake. Stick to the
recommended guidelines for sensible drinking - for your health's
sake.
