Treasure your health

Regarding through Marie Callas book on health, I ponder upon that many people who are in their prime years work furiously hard to earn their wealth, and in the process, they neglect what is in fact their most precious asset. One that can't be bought no matter how much money you have. This is especially true in this modern age where the drive for excellence is so strong that people will find themselves bogged down with bed-trodden diseases just when they are about to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Am I getting too emotional after these few months of spiritual practice? Well we should be balanced if we wish to be truly happy, however, sometime I still can't help to feel sad when I see so few people around me contracting terminal illnesses.

Even when their are cured, they may not regain the holistic nature of their physical bodies due to medical treatments. That is why we should seek to balance our life when we are still able to.

We are getting poorer in health

If you trust those government released figures, here's one for you concerning the health of us Malaysians. It says that over 5,500 of us die every year because lifestyle diseases linked to heart, kidney and lung. Diabetes is also on the rise too. Well, take it or not, it should still serve as a grim warning that we should take health seriously as it is a treasure that can't be bought even if you have billions of ringgits. I have many friends who just don't care. They eat, drink and smoke in a carefree way.

Our lifestyle is getting better in this country and the food we eat most of the time is good in taste but poor in nutritions. Plus the lack of exercise among us is worsening the health of us too. I would like to live longer but without being ladden with wretching diseases.

I care about physical and spiritual health.
