Taking care of this will determine how far you get in life or business. I’m sure you want to get very far, right? When this thing takes a downward turn, it can affect your whole being. Bear in mind many times you go day after day and neglect your responsibility toward this.
Anything that needs attention and keeps getting ignored will one day speak up and tell you about it. The sad thing about it? It may take a serious amount of work and effort to restore it back to the place where it is most happy. And even worse, sometimes it is too late for anything to be done.
I want to make sure you and I don’t end up in this state. Today, many are wishing they took the time to properly give attention to this. And so, I must ask, are you keeping your ‘health’ in check? “Health is not valued till sickness comes” – Dr. Thomas Fuller.
Health:
- physical, mental wellness.
- Soundness, especially of body or mind; freedom from disease or abnormality.
“I feel fine. Why should I go to the doctor?” Does this sound familiar?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Every year, about 805,000 people in the United States have a heart attack. Of these, 605,000 are a first heart attack.
One of the reasons behind these high numbers is the continuing lack of information. Many people don’t grasp their risk. They also tend to imagine heart attack symptoms like those in the movies — sudden and intense pain, often shooting up the arm and gripping the chest. The truth is, most start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort, and people often fail to realize what is happening and wait too long to get help.
What if there was something simple you could do every day that would burn calories, be good for your heart, and help you stay young. You’d do it, right?
In a study conducted at Duke University Medical Center, researchers found that walking briskly for 30 minutes every day lowers your odds of developing metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors linked to higher risks of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Roughly 24 million women in the United States have metabolic syndrome.
Don’t have time for a daily half-hour walk? Try multitasking: A British study found that active commuting (incorporating walking and cycling into your sedentary commute) is associated with an 11 percent reduction in heart-disease risk, especially among women.
“A man’s health can be judged by which he takes two at a time — pills or stairs.” – Joan Welsh
Today there is more knowledge at your fingertips than you can handle. So, there is no excuse for you and I to be ignorant to your well-being. With this said, why do we struggle with this issue of health though? It has to be because of decisions in what we do and what we consume. If you do only half of what you know you will be in a much better position.
