What can actually help man to live a happy and fulfilled life? This question came to mind when I sat to consider the way we run from pillar to pole searching for the best things in life. Many believed that having lots of money and properties all over the world can actually make one a fulfilled and happy person. On the other hand I want to believe that it does not matter what one becomes in the world, a life that is fill with sicknesses and diseases cannot even enjoy all the wealth and riches of this world. Hence, the saying ‘health is wealth.’ These three words cannot be turned around to mean something else, health in any parts of the world will equal to wealth.
What is health?
Health is simply a special state of man; whether physical or mental. This is a state of being free from illness or diseases. The world health organization also defined health as a complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. When a man is healthy the possibility of achieving a lot of success any where at any time can easily be done. This therefore brought me to the conclusion that the total happiness of man depends solely on having very sound health.
The importance of health cannot be over emphasized, that‘s why the wealth of a whole nation depends on the number of people that are healthy. When the general population is sick then the GDP of such a nation will fall drastically.
Importance of health
Health is a very important aspect of life that cannot be neglected that is why special attention is being placed on it even by government all over the world. That is why effort is being made to make sure that the provision of good health care facilities is given the necessary attention. The United Nation Organization (UNO) also has an arm that is responsible for the health situation of countries world wide. The World Health Organization (WHO) is the arm of the body that sees to the issues of epidemic and serious health hazards world wide.
Public Health, Mental health, Men’s health and even women’s are some of the issues in health development. This is just to show that a nation that is adequately responsible for the healthy living of the people will reap a higher productivity level economically and otherwise.
Health inventions
Every researchers are doing all that is needed to make sure that inventions are made to address the various health issues that are affecting the human race daily. Vaccines are made available to be distributed worldwide. Actions are taken to create awareness about the various dangers that may arise from some actions that we take everyday of our lives. The food we eat can positively or negatively affect our lives spam. The drugs we use can also be a source of problem to us if we fail to use it according to instruction, besides there are also various side effects that may even arise from abuse of substances.
Life cannot be complete if we fail to take responsibility for the ways we live and the ways we take care of ourselves. Nothing in life compares to good health and good health can also not be achieved without wealth. This simply means that efforts should be made to create wealth so that good health can be achievable for everyone.
