5 benefits of healthy living

It is strange that people have to be convinced about the benefits of healthy living. I think there’s confusion about health and happiness. Someone told me once that he’d rather be unhealthy and happy, than healthy and miserable. 

Can you see the problem here?

How exactly are you going to be happy if you are sick? Maybe some people are so out of whack with their bodies and emotions that they don’t know the color of their own misery. 
'Am I thirsty or am I sad?'
'Am I upset, or is it just a little hot inside here?'

Good luck to that friend of mine anyway. I wish him the best (he's going to need it).

Here’s  five benefits of being healthy.

1. You will live longer. If you love life and look forward to new experiences, this one is a must. Living longer seems cool to me.

2. You will look better. The alcoholic and meths addict look isn’t appealing to me. Neither is the red face look of high blood pressure. Acid sounds cool to some people, but only if its on a little stamp. If the pH of your diet is too acid, you will look older than you really are (or feel).

3. You will feel better. Have you ever been on a date…with indigestion? Oh, and there was a girl somewhere too. It’s just that my attention was so divided, I didn’t really notice the chick. Feeling horrible isn’t cool. I’m also very sure that feeling tired and in pain would be very good for the wrinkled face look. But that is not the look I’m after.

4. You will have a better sex life. I don’t know, this is a no brainer – that is unless you don’t like doing it. That may sound funny but some people, if given the choice between smoking and a healthy sex life, would choose the little cancer stick. 

5. Did I mention that you will look and feel better? Is it safe to say that being over weight is unhealthy in itself? Ok, with that settled I want to stress that many people look older than they are simply because they are way under or over weight.

Are you sick out of choice? I mean, are you carying around the discomfort of being unhealthy because of the choices you make every day? What are you waiting for? 

Eat right, exercise regularly and experience good emotions. You will be a healthier, happier person.
