Of Health and Wealth

Health and wealth

Heath and wealth are the two most desirable aspects of human life. They concurrently personify the state of fulfilment every human being endeavours to accomplish.

Health on it’s own is of course a positive feature but not simply a blessing, it’s achievable by learning about the influences of a broad range of factors that affect us: human biology, lifestyle, the social and physical environment in which we live.

From this viewpoint, health ceases to be assessable merely in terms of illness, it becomes a state, which individuals strive to attain, maintain or regain, and not something that comes about simply as a result of treating and curing disease. It is a basic dynamic force in our daily lives, influenced by our philosophies, cultures and social and economical conditions.

Good health combined with wealth becomes the most potent antidote to all human suffering.

Wealth on it’s own, the monetary wealth that is, is not enough. But wealth is not necessarily about material comfort, though that is an exhilarating aspect of it. It’s also, and more importantly, about knowledge, wisdom and intelligence.

It’s the combination of health and wealth that generates power and influence over others. It’s about gaining the knowledge, mind set and aptitude required to cope with the ever-changing world- it’s the process that brings about human empowerment.

Identify Stroke Symptoms & Save A Life :
Remember The First Three Letters… S.T.R.

During a barbeque, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine when they offered to call paramedics. She said that she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital. At 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away. She had suffered a stroke at the barbeque.

Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE A stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE .
T * Ask the person to TALK. Ask them to speak a simple sentence such as “It’s a nice day today”.
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. NOTE : Another ’sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ’stick’ out their tongue. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 (in the USA) 999 (in UK) immediately!! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this article copies it and sends it to 10 people, you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

While we know that exercise can relieve stress, balancing your diet to improve tension and stress is another facet to achieving overall good health.

When our immune system is out of balance, we are more vulnerable to everyday stresses and tension.  However, if our daily diet consists of foods that strengthen the immune system, we are more able to survive the effects of stress and tension we face on a daily basis.

What kind of balanced diet should we engage in?  Remember your mom telling you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?  She was right.  Without eating a proper breakfast, we tend to stop at a coffee shop and choose a sugary delight.  Instead, why not opt for a bowl of oatmeal with a glass of water.  Substitute caffeine with chamomile tea, which is a wonderful stress reducer.

If you don’t have time to sit down and have a nourishing breakfast, try a vegetable smoothie.  Packed with vitamins and nutrients, this is much better than coffee and toast.

Sugar contributes to stress.  You may notice that a while after eating a sugary snack or a bar of chocolate, you feel fatigued.  While the sugar may help in the short term, you are just adding wood to the fire in the long run.  Conversely, snacking on protein is much healthier for you and helps to maintain blood sugar levels as well.  Popcorn is another snack which can get you through the 3 o’clock yearning for something sweet.

It’s a good idea to avoid salt as it can increase blood pressure which, when confronted with a stressful situation, can increase the tension twofold.  Foods such as hot dogs have a high salt content.   

Another tip is to stay away from foods that contain fat.  Instead, opt for vegetables, fruits, lean meats, fish, chicken, beans, and leafy green vegetables.  These are not only healthy for you, but contain antioxidants that are beneficial in reducing free radicals in your body.  For example, you can choose turkey burgers which are much leaner than regular beefburgers. 

Instead of going out to lunch, you can make lunch at home and bring it to the office.  Cut up some carrots, celery, and add some cottage cheese or tuna in water.  Or, you can make a nutritious salad with pieces of chicken and lemon vinaigrette.  Also, drink plenty of water each day.  This serves to keep you sated and hydrated at the same time.

Balancing your diet to improve tension stress is as important as exercise.  You will not only feel good, but your energy level will be constant and productivity will increase.
 

Answer these questions truthfully:

1.) Does your spouse or partner complain that you spend too much money?

2.) Are you surprised each month when your credit card bill arrives at how much more you charged than you thought you had?

3.) Do you have more shoes and clothes in your closet than you could ever possibly wear?

4.) Do you own every new gadget before it has time to collect dust on a retailer’s shelf?

5.) Do you buy things you didn’t know you wanted until you saw them on display in a store?

If you answered “yes” to any two of the above questions, you are an impulse spender and indulge yourself in retail therapy.

This is not a good thing. It will prevent you from saving for the important things like a house, a new car, a vacation or retirement. You must set some financial goals and resist spending money on items that really don’t matter in the long run.

Impulse spending will not only put a strain on your finances but your relationships, as well. To overcome the problem, the first thing to do is learn to separate your needs from your wants.

Advertisers blitz us hawking their products at us 24/7. The trick is to give yourself a cooling-off period before you buy anything that you have not planned for.

When you go shopping, make a list and take only enough cash to pay for what you have planned to buy. Leave your credit cards at home.

If you see something you think you really need, give yourself two weeks to decide if it is really something you need or something you can easily do without. By following this simple solution, you will mend your financial fences and your relationships.

Health,
because it’s the most important thing in anyone’s life. Without physical and mental health, nothing else matters. Here, you will find information, advice and products to help you achieve ultimate physical and mental health.

Wealth,
because we don’t learn about wealth creation at school. Because you need to live your life comfortably and without financial problems. But wealth is not just about money. It’s also about education, inner peace, self esteem and the right mind set. It’s about helping yourself and helping others it’s about knowledge, enjoyment of lif and knowing your purpose in life because if you don’t, you will always be poor even if you are rich!
