What is Health?

"No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." Socrates.

You will die — this is an inevitable truth that every human being must face.

While cannot escape mortality, you can significantly influence the length and quality of your life through the choices you make and the actions you take.

Health, along with time, is one of the most precious resources you have.

Health is both about extending the length and quality of your life.

In other words, increases the amount of quality-time in your life. There’s no point living to 110 years old, if for the last 30 years you’re just vegetable. Everything else being equal, more quality-time is better.

And there is an interesting dynamic between health and time.

Our current state of health is largely the legacy of our past selves, while our future well-being is a hostage to the choices we make today. You should live today in a way that your future self will thank you for.

Taking Responsibility

When it comes to our health, often we are our own worst enemy.

Most of the health issues we encounter throughout our lives stem from our own lifestyle choices rather than accidents or contagious diseases.

Yes, modern society tries its best to put profit ahead of health, but ultimately we must take responsibility for what is under our control. Think about it: nobody physically force-feeds us unhealthy food, or pours alcohol down our throats, or makes us smoke.

Poor diet, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking contribute significantly to the development of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and various cancers.

So the first By making conscious decisions to lead healthier lives, we can mitigate these risks and improve our long-term health outcomes. It's crucial to recognize that every healthy choice we make adds up, influencing not just our present state but also our future wellbeing.
