HEALTH

Is there anything more important than health? I’d rather doubt it. If your body suffers from any disorder your mind suffers with the body too. You can't be good either at work or at studies. Aches and pains lead to irritation, nervous breakdown, exhaustions, and apathy. We are healthy when all parts of our bodies and of our minds work together properly. We cannot be happy unless we feel well.

The ancient Greeks knew the value of good health. They even named one goddess Hygeia which means goddess of health. Hygeia was a daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine. The Greeks prayed to her to give them good health.

The Romans spoke of health in a proverb "A healthy mind in a healthy body". In addition to physical health, an understanding of mental health is also important. The body does a great deal to take care of itself, but by learning a few important health rules, it is possible to help the body to work at its best.

Many people would say "Good health means not being ill". That is true. But health is more than that. Good health is something positive. We have good health when our bodies and our minds work at their best.

The human body is much more complicated than any machine. Yet it needs less day-to-day care than machine. No machine can do all the things the body can do. No machine will work for 70 years or more, day and night, requiring only air, water, food and few simple rules.

Of course you mustn't ignore the doctors. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, stomachache or earache, if you have a sore throat, eye or finger, if you feel pain in any part of your body, if it hurts you to move – you need help. First of all you ought to turn to your physician. The doctor will examine you carefully, feel your pulse, sound your chest, heart and lungs, test your blood pressure. The only thing you have to do is to follow his directions. Otherwise a slight ailment can develop into an incurable malady.
