Good Health

As a popular saying goes: “Health is better than wealth.” Good health enables one to enjoy his life and achieve what he hopes for in his career. On the other hand, poor health tends to deprive one of his interest in everything around him. Therefore, health is indispensable to one’s happy life.

There are many ways, I think, which can help to build up one’s health. In the first place, those who always work from morning till night should find time to relax because too much stress can lead to poor performance and ill health. Secondly, if one wants to keep healthy, he must give up the habits that damage his health. Finally, regular exercises are essential for a healthy mind and body. To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing more healthful than a brisk walk in the morning.
Personally, I like running in the morning. And I have benefited a lot of from it. My health condition is getting better and better. So I will persist in doing so in the future.
