As much of our happiness and success in life depends on our health. So it is our duty to maintain it at all cost. Keeping oneself healthy and smart is an art and this art demands balanced diet.

"Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man health wealthy and wise"

Early rising is a good habit. An early rises enjoys good and sound health and works carefully, steadily and thoroughly. Moreover, he is always happy, fresh and smart, whereas a late riser finds his works dull and dry and does unwillingly. The golden principal of "Early to bed and early to rise" is especially necessary for young people who are still growing-late hours are bad for them.

If we go to some other place at the hills or in the country side it does us a world of good-change in routine and fresh air are better than all the tonics in the world.

Since health is so important to us, people are rearranging their lifestyles and their priorities to gain or maintain it. Some endure great pain for health some sacrifice their wealth for it; some believe and act upon the strangest things in the hopes of obtaining it; some even kill themselves because they cannot get it. Finding death preferable to living without it. Such a coveted blessing must be maintained to enjoy life.
