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

Can skincare products from Japan affect my health due to the radiation leaks?
So ive just bought some lotion n face cream which are made in japan n produced after the quake. I know that radiation will only enter one's body through nose mouth area near the eyes n any cuts on the skin. But my skin actually absorbs those products n the products are partly made by water which means radiation may hv dissolved in it. What do u guys think? Am i taking any risk? pls answer scientifically if possible. Thanks x
