This is answer given when I met an elder friend, aged 70+, on 2 February 2010 while attending a public forum.
Why? I asked.
“I am so busy with my work with an NGO that I hardly have any time to look at my health. As the person in-charge of the NGO’s monthly business magazine, my responsibility is to make sure that it is published on time.”
He is lucky in the sense that at 70+, he is able to work. I hope he is in good health too!
7 February 2010. I met this Indian lady about 70 years old in a shop and recommended her to read my health book. “I am old already. There is no need to take care of my health.” I was surprised in a way by her response.
The issue is many people do not take care of their health. They leave their health conditions to the pharmacists and medical doctors. They feel that these professionals can provide solutions to their health problems. Many are also taking food supplements to maintain good health.
More and more people now realize that the medical professionals cannot provide the complete solutions to our health in the long run.
Good health or not is decided by ourselves. Let us, not others, decide our own health.
Whether young or old, there are reasons to take care of our health.
If you love yourself, you need to take care of your health.
If your love your spouse, parents, brothers and sisters, children, friends & relatives, you need to take care of your health.
If you love your country and the world, please take care of your health.
Let’ take care of our health.
