Health – What Can You Do About It?

“Health is not everything, but everything without health is nothing.” I read this phrase a couple of years ago but its impact was so powerful that it has remained etched in my memory.

In Singapore, one recent case to illustrate this phrase was a very rich man who tried to buy a kidney to replace his failed kidney. Unfortunately it was against the law and he was caught and jailed. Fortunately it was for a very short jail term. Also fortunately, somebody “donated” a kidney to him. However, he still has all the usual related health issues like diabetes, high-blood pressure and so on.

Therefore if you neglect to do all that is necessary to maintain your good health you will suffer and regret it later on in life.

Very soon you will be afflicted with one form of impairment, disorder or disability after another. The intensity or frequency or seriousness escalates. Soon it spirals out of control.

You simply have to be mindful of all the necessary precautions and actions to be taken and be disciplined enough to follow them.

Let’s just take three examples.

First take for example the over consumption of salt, or Sodium Chloride. I used to like my food salty, but now I know that it can increase my blood pressure and thus I have drastically reduced my salt intake. The problem is that it is over a period of time before you are pronounced "Hypertensive ", and Hypertension is for Life.

Salt also causes you to retain water, which can cause bloating and make you look fatter, and problems of intestinal and gastric nature. Don’t you think it would be wiser to control the intake of salt from now on?

Secondly what about the often neglected advice to exercise regularly? In times of recession, we might not be able to join a gym membership. However, we could simply put on a comfortable pair of proper running shoes and go for brisk walks or go running at a nearby track or a beautiful park.

What are some tips on running for beginners? The number one rule is to stretch! If you do not stretch properly you will notice pain or you may pull your muscles etc.

Take it easy and target for a 30 minute cardio workout. On your first time warm up for 5 minutes, run for 5 minutes and walk for 20 minutes. Increase your run time until you can run most of the 30 minutes.

The third and final example is to have good dental hygiene. A good advice is to brush your teeth two to three times a day, which means after each meal. This will help you reduce plaque.

It would be better if you could floss your teeth to remove food trapped in between your teeth. All this effort will be well rewarded. You will have fewer fillings and less tooth aches or gum disease in your more advanced age.

You will also maintain a better quality of life or self esteem by preserving speech and eating functions as your teeth will last longer. You can avoid being embarrassed by your bad breath or missing or unsightly teeth

Help, do i jeopardize my degree or health?
Basically, I'm at uni and the course is getting heavier. The time I usually go for my treatment is getting all messed up with work and classes, and I don't know what to prioritize. My aim is to get my degree, and to do that I need to do all the work for it, so it's an issue of time aswell. I feel as though I need to continue with the treatment, and my key worker implied she does too, but I can't help thinking if I just ignore everything it will go away at the same time I know it wont because it never does. Please any suggestion, ideas, thoughts welcome. No jokers please.Thanks in advance x

Do I have a serious health issue or am i dealing with Anxiety?
So for the past 2 weeks, I have been waking up with headaches. These headaches range from the back of my head all the way to my eyes and temples. I have also been extremely lightheaded all day throughout every day of these 2 weeks. I am seriously fearing I have a brain tumor, and I am super scared of it right now. I did receive blood urine tests, and i had a chest x ray. everything came back fine, just wondering if this is serious, I cry a LOT now, I have trouble concentrating, and I have trouble having fun with my amazing girlfriend who i have been with for 4 years. nothing really feels the same anymore, I'm kind of indifferent to almost everything i used to be happy about, and i'm tired of feeling this way. I am also dealing with a cold i caught like 2 days ago....i'm so overwhelmed, everyone. please help me with some words, I am super scared, I feel alone in my thoughts, and I am NOT ready to die, I feel like God has so much more planned. Sorry if I sound foolish, but I am genuinely terrified. Much love to you all.
