Health - when do we realise that it is important ?

Perhaps the most important asset of our life that we take for granted is our health.

We don't value it or we don't feel the need to preserve it when we are in perfect condition of it.We do things that deteriorate our health without thinking its consequences and after we lose our health we realize the importance of it.

It is not always that we lose our health because of our carelessness. There sometimes are causes that are beyond our control or there are causes which is not the product of our deeds.

Unfavorable climatic conditions causes several kinds of infectious diseases. Most of the infectious diseases occurs during seasonal transitions. That is because the body is not fully adapted to the new condition of the environment.

Some people are easily affected by the diseases whereas some other do not develop it even when they are in similar kinds of conditions. That is because of the immune factors within them.

Those whose immunity is powerful that the others is less likely to suffer from disease conditions. It is necessary to protect ourselves from the adverse climates and to do things to enhance our immunity. To be bed-ridden for days due to illness is very troublesome and painful.

A sick person is a burden to everyone, his/her family has to take their time and money in looking after him/her, the society and the country also loses productivity during the period of sickness.

A lot of expenditure should also be invested in treating the sick causing financial burden. Instead, it is wiser to work on preventing ourselves from diseases.
