Do We Really Mean Health is Wealth?
Since ancient times, humans have most likely given great significance to their health over anything else. This is because if health is not good, nothing can please you or make you enjoy it. Health is something that stays with you all the time. Nothing else stays close to you as much as your health and fitness.
With the passing time, things have drastically changed. Nowadays, people, especially the youth are more attracted towards materialistic pleasures than ever. This has led them to compromise on health consciousness. After college, the youth just aspire to become rich and have all the best possible privileges they could think of. Without paying the required attention to their health, they make wrong decisions of working very hard and in odd shifts.
Working very hard disturbs your mental and physical health and exposes you to stress and lifestyle diseases when you overlook your health. Stress is the cause of many diseases these days, including obesity, metabolism disorders, low sperm count, reduced productivity, etc. All these disorders directly affect your physical wellbeing.
Getting proper sleep is the key to good health. Working in night shifts or rotational shifts for longer periods will ultimately damage your sleeping pattern. This would make you get inadequate sleep and tired. You would always want to sleep but won’t get enough sleep. Our bodies are designed to work in day light and rest at night. When we disturb this cycle, we face severe consequences that can make our lives uncomfortable and tiring.
Many young people face the abovementioned problems in their 20s and are not ready to make meaningful changes in their lives to avoid the causes. Some might not understand the cause soon after getting such issues but can figure them out easily. Keeping a good lifestyle is of great importance for a healthy and productive life.
When you have a bad lifestyle, you would need to spend the very money you earned on doctors’ consultations and hospital bills. Is there any point of working so hard at this cost? Work in a setup that does not affect your lifestyle or cause health issues.
Earning is not the only thing you must focus on. Health is far more important than wealth. This may take time for some people to understand but hope they will realize it soon! Don’t forget to share your thoughts on this topic in comments.
