Health is Wealth
Friends,
Health is wealth. This is a century old dogma yet; many people fail to realize the importance of health. I find it very silly that many people are committed to be wealthy but not to be healthy. Pushing themselves to the edge in their work, finish the week with sleepless nights to beat deadlines, starting the day with anger in their heart, a frown and recite an endless complain throughout the day and most importantly forget to be happy. Health is wealth. This is the greatest wealth we can have and should strive to have.
I also find it funny when people worry how the world will end in 2012 but doesn’t worry what they will gain from being a chain smoker, can drink 12 bottles of beer but cannot have 8 glass of water. How the nuclear leak in Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant will affect their lives while not being concerned with their eating habits and unhealthy diets. How they watched their favorite actress in television for hours but don’t bother to take a 20 minutes exercise.
I am not a doctor. I am an engineer, but I read a lot. And from what I have learned most of the sickness (about 85% of them) is caused by our “unhealthy” emotions and most sickness can be cured or avoided by changing this unhealthy thoughts. This also means that we can avoid heart attacks, cancers and even colds by just choosing to be happy and choosing to make a healthier lifestyle every day.
At the end of the day, all you want to do is enjoy life. Reap what you have sowed and do what you love to do. We want to fulfill our dreams as soon as possible and we want to be on top of our shape if we do that. Before getting to be wealthy, it is proper to be healthy first. We all want to see our children grow.
Our health is one of the greatest blessings we can cherish in this lifetime. What more can a rich dying man, feeble and in poor health would not exchange all the gold in his vault for the healthy mind and body you have that you have failed to appreciate.
Let us avoid stressful habits and replace them with healthy ones. Start the day with prayer, a smile and simple exercise. Become careful on what we eat. Take a lot of laughter and create an environment that is full of love. Cherish each morning with your loved ones and always count your blessings. Relax and chill out. Win the morning and you will win the day!

I want to share this beautiful letter of a dying old man I had read from Andrew Matthews’ book “Being Happy”
“ If I had my life over again, I’d try to make more mistakes next time. I wouldn’t be so perfect. I would relax more. I’d limber up. I’d be sillier than I’ve been on this trip. In fact, I know very few things that I would take so seriously. I’d be crazier. I’d be less hygienic.”
“I’d take more chances, I’d take more trips, I’d climb more mountains, I’d swim more rivers, I’d go more places I’ve never been to. I’d eat more ice cream and fewer beans.
“I’d have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones!”
“ You see, I was one of those people who lived prophylactically and sensibly and sanely hour after hour and day after day. Oh, Ive had my moments- moment by moment by moment.”
“ I’ve been one of those people who never went anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, a reincoat and a parachute. If I had to do it all over agai, I’d travel lighter next time.
“If I had to do it all over again, I’d start barefoot earlier in the spring and stayway later in the fall. I’d ride more merry-go-rouds, I’d watch more sunrises, and I’d play with more children, if I had my life to live over again”
“But you see, I don’t”

What the Bible says about it?

Joke time…
When a physician remarked on a new patient's extraordinarily ruddy complexion, he said, "High blood pressure, Doc. It comes from my family."
"Your mother's side or your father's?" I asked.
"Neither," he replied. "It's from my wife's family."
"Oh, come now," I said. "How could your wife's family give you high blood pressure?"
He sighed. "You got to meet them sometime, Doc!"
Points to Ponder…
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book. ~Irish Proverb
Just because you're not sick doesn't mean you're healthy. ~Author Unknown

As they say…
‘It is reasonable to expect the doctor to recognize that science may not have all the answers to problems of health and healing.
--Norman Cousins

Nothing is more fatal to Health, than an over Care of it. ~Benjamin Franklin
Definition of Terms…
Stress is a term in psychology and biology, barrowed from physics and engineering and first used in the biological context in the 1930s, which has in more recent decades become commonly used inpopular parlance. It refers to the consequence of the failure of an organism – human or animal – to respond adequately to mental, emotional or physical demands, whether actual or imagined.
Signs of stress may be cognitive, emotional, physical or behavioral. Signs include poor judgment, a general negative outlook, excessive worrying, moodiness, irritability, agitation, inability to relax, feeling lonely, isolated or depressed, aches and pains, diarrhea or constipation, nausea, dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, eating too much or not enough, sleeping too much or not enough, social withdrawal, procrastination or neglect of responsibilities, increased alcohol, nicotine or drug consumption, and nervous habits such as pacing about, nail-biting and neck pains.
