Health is the condition of our body and mind. It may be good or bad. Good health
means healthy body free from diseases. It is essential for everyone to lead a
happy life. If we are not in good health, we cannot concentrate on any activity in
our life. A proverb goes, ‘Health is Wealth’ It means health is equally valuable as
gold or any other personal possessions. We may have vast wealth and property,
but if we are not healthy we cannot enjoy them. To keep ourselves healthy, we
have to do certain things. We have to eat a balanced diet. We must exercise
regularly to keep our body fit for work.
There is an old saying :
'Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise.'
So we must not keep late hours. We should go to bed early at night and rise early
in the morning. Peace of mind is another condition for good health. So we must
not worry over small things of life.
