Value your Health

Health is considered essential to human life. It is said to be the human’s life status, which includes psychological, physical, and biological health. It is better to live a life within a poor family but with healthy members rather than those who belong to a rich family with some health deficits. It is important for us humans to live life to the fullest, since we are only given one life to live. Despite the beautiful life that God has given us, humans became irresponsible with their health. As we can see, disco bars begin to bloom. Night life grabs people’s attentions, without knowing that being part of those night activity results to some negative effects in our health. Example of these effect causes liver diseases, renal failures, coronary diseases and other fatal health problems. Drinking and smoking are the two of the most common cause of unhealthy life. Despite all the bars and night clubbing, people still think about some activities that can improve health conditions, like going to a gym, playing the basketball, tennis, running and other kind of sports. Philippines is really influenced by the western counties with regards to body figures. We can obviously see that there are many people joining gym classes to achieve their dream body figures. However, there are still those individuals that despite their hard time in a gym class they still don’t have their desired figure, because of some bad health practices.

It is us humans that are holding our lives, and it is on our own responsibility how to take care of it. In addition, the youth today is more influenced by the adults. It is evident that young people are now into drug addiction, substance abuse, smoking, and being alcoholics. I can see that there will be a bad prospect of the health among the youth today. Lifespan would probably reach only up until 50’s. It is us adults that have to be responsible with the younger generations. We should serve as a good mentor for them, but sadly the adults turned out to be a bad role model to the youth. With health deficits, we can encounter some additional problems, like financial, situational, and family problems. With the technology improving throughout the years medicines became more expensive. Most people affected with these kinds of problems are Filipinos, since most citizen’s frequently experienced financial crisis, and employment problems. Obviously, for the Filipino, health is more important than fortune. Even if you are the richest man in the world, but still health cannot be paid by fortune. A good example of which is just like having a Colon cancer or heart diseases that may be caused by hereditary factors. Aside from genetic predisposition of diseases, unhealthy diet is the secondary cause of death. There are plenty of people nowadays love to eat those foods that are contraindicated to their condition, but still they continue what they want.

It is just a matter of having discipline in yourself. Life is really complicated; if you want to live happily, live your life to the fullest.
