HEALTH

 Sound Health; A Necessity

BY: Ogunsanmi Adeola Susan.



Health, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is defined as the condition of being sound in body, mind, or Spirit. It can also refer to the state of physical, mental, emotional, social, and financial completeness.

Health is no doubt a key to long life as well as effectiveness in everyday living. Quite a number of people refuse to pay attention to their health until they come down with an ailment. This is very bad and can lead to unrectifiable complications.

Having regular exercise, and sleeping adequately and regularly are a component of sound health that cannot be overemphasized. Students should note that this has nothing to do with negligence. It is expected that you read or work when you’re supposed to and sleep when you should.

Mental fitness is a major component of healthy living. It has to do with psychological composure, it also relates to emotions. A lot of issues can stem from this such as neurological disorders, depression, and so on if not taken care of.

Healthy diets are also major components. There’s a saying that says ‘ You are what you consume ‘, this statement is very true as a person will eventually turn out to be the stuff he/she consumes. Healthy diets include leafy and fruity vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, proteins like milk, eggs, white meats, and many more. 

It should be noted that consuming junk can result in obesity which in turn leads to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other related health issues. Taking junk can also result in being underweight in some people, depending on the quantities taken.

Health cannot be borrowed and only a person sound in mind, body as well as spirit can respond to life’s issues and achieve great success. Be concerned about your health.
