I was going out with a friend and he was very passionate about his car. He was very careful while driving and when a small scratch was found on it, he was very upset. Which is fine as he really loved his car. Soon we stopped at a place to grab a bite and he picked up lot of unhealthy stuff. I thought as we are out, it might be because of that and but he started talking about food himself. He said that I do not care if I become fat or what happens to my body. I eat what I like. I really want to enjoy my life. I kept quiet as he was not seeking my advise. He was sharing his views. But then after some time, he was feeling very unhealthy. He felt like puking and asked what should he do. We stopped by a place. He rested, puked and when he was feeling better, he asked what should he do? I took him to his car, showed him the scratch and asked if he loved his car, would he put any oil in it or he would put only recommended oil? He said ofcourse petrol. That too of good quality like power and all, if he had to take care of his car engine. Glad he knew that. So his car engine would stop functioning if he does not add good oil in it. Similarly, our body will stop functioning properly if he will not add proper food into that. The food we are eating is the oil for our body. We must eat, what we know is healthy for body. We must take few steps to keep it healthy. Whatever is required to keep it healthy and fit must be done. It is not about over exaggerated definition of beauty, it is about staying healthy which includes eating a good and balanced diet, exercising/walk etc, waking up early, keeping it clean etc.
WE can enjoy this life, only if we have a healthy body. We can do all what we want to do, if we have a healthy body. We cannot do many things if it’s unhealthy. It’s like if it’s a dysfunctional car, we cannot go very far in it. And older we get, more care we have to take. It’s like if the car is old, it needs more maintenance.
So if you really want to enjoy a long life, or let’s say have peaceful life and a happy life, a healthy body is must. We cannot be happy with body aches or a bad health!
