How to Better Your Health

You can choose to be healthy and happy. You can decide to take good care of your body and mind, to follow the instructions of staying healthy or you can ignore all the rules for health and happiness by putting in the wrong food in your stomach, and sand in your eyes

Only one life is given to us. You cannot buy another life or body, as you might be able to buy a new motor-car. Our utmost duty towards our creator and others is self-development. We should be very careful to keep ourselves in the best conditions of health ever so that we may do our duty in the family and in the nation. The time that we spend in taking care of our physical and mental health, is time well used.

Many people think they are healthy if they feel no pain or fever, but health, real health, is more than this. It is the state of complete physical and mental well-being. It is not merely absence of disease.

Health does not come by luck or accident. Health is rearward for taking care of the body properly, just as a beautiful, smooth-running motor car is the result of good care. Our bodies operate according to laws. The natural laws which put in place by our Creator were meant to be for our own good. All our tastes, habits and desires must be educated in harmony. By doing this, we may have the very best physical condition and have mental superiority.

Obedience to the laws of health will promote our happiness in this life, and will help us in preparation for he life to come. The different parts of the body and the mind are very closely related and work together. The mind is the thinking part of us, but it can not live alone. It must have blood from the heart. And the heart must have oxygen from the lungs. Nor can the body get along without the mind, because the nerves come from the mind to tell our bodies what to do.

There is need for an understanding in our world today of the many things contributing to, or affecting, our health and happiness. This includes proper care of our mind and body by obedience to the laws of health, a happy home, and proper relationship to once fellow-men and to God.

Every person has the opportunity, to a great extent, of making himself whatever he chooses to be. This is the governing power in the nature of man – the power of decision, the power of choice. Living is made up of making choices. What a person is at the end of his life, is a result of all his decisions and choices. Through the right exercise of the power of choice, and entire change maybe made in the life. The first step towards health and happiness is choosing to be healthy and happy, choosing to follow the laws of health. It is important that you take good care of your health by living right.
