In Sickness and in Health

Some people ask 'why all the fuss about being healthy? You're going to die eventually anyway'.

To these people I say:

"Why die before you need to? Why suffer in life, if you don't need to?"

If you are unhealthy, chances are you get sick often which is unpleasant. But worse than that, there is a good chance you will get one or more horrible illnesses, like diabetes, cancer or heart disease. Why lie in a bed suffering in pain for a few years with cancer before you die if by looking after yourself a bit better you can avoid it?

There are plenty of reasons to be healthy and few (none!) to neglect your health. So educate yourself, be enthusiastic and enjoy being healthy, and doing healthy things!
