HEALTH IS WEALTH
We all believe in ths but does not follow it. Health is really important we don't care about ourselves a lot. We just are constantly busy in this world. We have to be physically and mentally fit.
Let me give you an example of mental fitness.
Sam and Sylvester were opposites.
Sam was number one in his class. A bright student who cruised through school and university. He was smart, eloquent, funny, and had an almost eidetic memory.
Sylvester had a low grade point average in school. Not academically inclined, although he tried hard. He wasn’t shy, but he preferred to remain in the background. Quiet and unassuming.
Sam left school and studied law .
Sylvester left school and became an apprentice spray painter.
Sam graduated top of his year.
Sylvester became a good spray painter.
Then, about the same time, Sam and Sylvester joined the police. And that is when I got to know them.
I liked Sam and Sylvester.
Sam’s quick wit could hold an audience and keep us spellbound in admiration.
Sylvester’s anarchic sense of humour, once you got to know him, would have me in stitches.
In time, Sam gained many promotions and ended up a senior officer.
Sylvester had no ambitions other than to do a good job, go home, and have a beer. He remained a constable his entire career.
Sam, with his abundant and obvious smarts, had something else…
Emotional intelligence.
I saw many police officers gain rank and change personality. Some became over-officious or bullies. Not Sam. Sam talked like we were equals. He made me feel comfortable.
I sat in a meeting where the Chief Constable had a go at Sam. An unwarranted assault on the way he had handled a situation. I think everyone around that table felt embarrassed for Sam. Even my face flushed.
Sam remained calm. He listened and nodded his head. Like he appreciated the feedback. He gave the Chief Constable his place. The Chief Constable calmed down, his tone lowered, and he smiled.
Sam thanked him.
He thanked the Chief Constable for the bollocking. We couldn’t believe it. Sam had accepted this unnecessary lambaste. But not quite.
“So, what would you have done differently?” he asked the Chief Constable, and he leaned forward with genuine interest.
It caught the Chief Constable on the back foot. He mumbled a few words before realising that, in the circumstances what Sam did was the only option. It was brilliant.
Sylvester and I arrested Willie Gibbon.
Willie Gibbon is the most vile human being I have ever come across in my service. He has done some despicable things to other people. On this occasion, he had punched an elderly lady neighbour. On route back to the office, Willie Gibbon kept up a torrent of verbal abuse and directed it all at Sylvester.
He said things about Sylvester, his wife, his children and his mother that would spur any lesser man to stop the car take him out and give him a hiding.
Not Sylvester. He didn’t bother. You could say anything to Sylvester and he didn’t take offence. He was the most effective person I know at controlling his temper.
At the office, Willie Gibbon continued his tirade of abuse. He struggled, he spat, he cursed and swore. We got him to a cell.
“Aye, so are you going to give me a doing over now are you?” Willie expected us to take it out on him, what he had been saying would rile a nun into retaliation.
“Och no,” said Sylvester. “Once ye calm down we’ll come back with a cup of tea for you, and we’ll just go through the process of getting you charged, okay?”
Both Sam and Sylvester screamed ‘mentally healthy’.
Everyone can practice yoga
Most yoga studios and gyms offer yoga classes open to all generations and all levels of fitness. It's really motivating to enter a room full of young people, athletes, mothers, older people and even fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders. Everyone can feel at home, unlike other sports or other indoor classes that are primarily for a particular audience, yoga classes are often very open. Whether you have 92, 53, or even 12 years old, yoga can help you.
Yoga promotes good health and overall well-being
Yoga is not just about training, it's a healthy lifestyle. The practice of yoga allows students to remain calm in a world devoured by chaos. Yoga is achieving peace and tranquility through courses open to all.
So repeat this,
Drink a jug full of water right after waking up in the morning (Use a copper mug for added health benefits)
Switch from drinking Coffe and Tea to Organic Green Tea
Meditate for 10 minutes daily to remove stress and increase the grey matter concentration in the brain.
Hit the gym 5 days a week.
Drink about 1/2 liter milk every day to fulfill body’s calcium needs.
Keep Saturdays for Running, Cycling, Cardio sessions.
Join Yoga classes for increasing the body’s flexibility. Since bodybuilding makes the body stiff, Yoga will hugely benefit in the long run.
Fast on the last day of every month. (Fasting removes toxins from the body and burns excess fat)
Use cold showers for bathing instead of taking hot water showers. Hot water badly affects hair and makes them dry.
Get a complete body checkup, including all blood tests dental checkup, every 3 months.
Ditch cosmetic creams and oils and switch to using coconut oil, which acts both as a natural moisturizer as well as hair oil.
Quit smoking and drinking
