There's a popular saying that goes health is wealth. The difference between these two words is H and W of course the H comes first meaning Health is very important before any other thing. You can't be wealthy if you aren't healthy. Show me a healthy man and I will show you a wealthy man. Special thanks to the management of this community for bringing this kind of timely topic even at this particular moment especially in my dear country Nigeria.
Most Nigerians today are really going through a lot of economic difficulty where so many people pay zero attention to their health. Some is not as if they can't take care of themselves but the sudden change in the economy really affected them badly however there is no sustainable reason for one to pay zero negligence to health. Everyone ought to take responsibility in ensuring good health. It shouldn't just be left for the government alone or certain individuals. Maintaining good health is not difficult at all because there are measures ought to be deployed. In a short while, I will be sharing on some tips concerning health that many don't give attention to.
Recently I found myself in a community where I went to share the gospel and carryout some humanitarian services. They were good and hospitable people who normally pay good attention to things. After a serious discussion with them, they brought the following as their pressing need. They lack portable water Hmm no borehole which makes it difficult to find good drinking water. Most of the communards travel miles before they fetch water from the stream. Without even further medical analysis, it was established that the commonest disease is warms which many compliments of stomach pain etc. I boldly told them that we can depend on government plenty instead it's time for them to sort out alternative means to water in their local way. I advised them not to blame the government for everything. How much will it cost them to dig a well? Is it possible to achieve this? I categorically said yes. Let them team up as youths and together dig a well to resolve this water issue. I also told there are little things they can do to maintain personal and community health as well. Aside well keeping the environment cleaned and strict adherence to personal hygiene will help
Some health tips that people neglect are;
1. REST
This is becoming like a song in my house because every day I must tell everyone please rest. If you refused to rest, you will be given a bed rest. If you refused the bed rest then definitely you will be laid to rest. There are different kind of rest needed for health. The word rest has only four alphabet but if you neglect it Hmm soon you will start complaining anyhow. My wife started complaining of her head and I told her go and rest. After a while she quickly regained herself and the headache vanished. The more you rest the more it relaxes the body and some tissues gets revived. Please try and rest.
2. EXERCISE
Another health tip that is important but neglected is exercise. I think I am guilty of this because i haven't been consistent in this but remembering the significant effect it has done to my body. I was able to burn out some calories... please don't joke with exercise.
3 DON'T STAY DEHYDRATED
One vital health tip is to take glass of water periodically. I may not say much here but try and take water it helps a lot.
If you're not healthy, you can't participate in prompts like this. Don't joke with your healthy. If you notice any strange behaviour in your body system kindly consult a medical personnel for help. Don't die in silence.
