Health refers to a person’s overall well being – physical, mental and social. It is vital for a person’s functioning. It is not just the objective to live but the availability of resources to sustain our lives.
Health is the most important thing and we do not realize it until we lose it . It is said that health is life, But in today’s busy and stressed life, humans are not able to pay full attention to their health.
The world is faced with many challenges ; with the emergence of the Corona virus to even pre – existing ones such as malaria , diabetes , hypertension and other life threatening diseases due to irregular lifestyles. The hectic lifestyles and improper food habits have given rise to obesity , stress and heart problems.
World Health Day is an initiative by world health organization (WHO) which is celebrated on 7th of April to spread awareness about the ongoing health issues that concern people across the world. The day is also used as an opportunity to spread awareness about the overall health and well being of people. The idea is that every human being gets good health facilities at an affordable rate.
Millions of people around the world are prey to many terrible diseases . Hence, discussions and awareness on the topics like prevention and proper arrangement of the diseases etc. are also included as the main objective of health day.
With the depleting quality of fruits and vegetables and increasing usage of Fast food and improper diet , the human Body has become a storehouse of toxic and harmful substances.
In this fast paced world, where we are overburdened with responsibilities and duties It is easy to lose track or keep living that healthy life.The only way that we can make ourselves and our body better is by improving our health.

This can be achieved by :-
Meditation, cardio exercises, weight lifting, running, free hand exercises and so on.
Getting a regular health check up from your nearest hospital.
Incorporate a balanced diet that includes vitamins ,minerals (fruits, vegetables, lentils )
Maintain good hygiene and clean surroundings.
It is important to get enough sleep and stay hydrated to keep our bodies healthy.
Once we all start collectively incorporating these things in our day to day life We Will be able to see the difference in our lifestyles and improve our standard of living . And once we spread this knowledge to others, we will improve the community as a whole, little by little.
Wealth or prosperity once lost can be regained again but health if lost will never be regained .
We do have a long way to reach this ideal lifestyle but if we start slowly day by day converting these actions into habits overtime, it won’t seem as difficult as many of us fear. Prioritise one’s health today and everyday.
