Health is wealth as all the wealth of any sort that one wants to possess can be had only if one is healthy! Suppose a man wishes to enjoy his life to the maximum. For this he requires abundant supply of resources such as, money, luxuries, company of like-minded friends, etc. Suppose he has all of these except health. Do you think he will be able to enjoy life? No, not at all! Life's luxuries can only be enjoyed only when one is healthy. A diseased millionaire will not be able to enjoy half as much as healthy labourer who just manages to make both ends meet. As life's delicacies can only be relished in pure health; not in abundant resources. So ensure your health first, before you go on a wild goose chase of any other sort of wealth.

The most natural way to keep healthy is physical exercise. John F. Kennedy said, “Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.”  

Exercise helps in preventing excess weight gain or maintaining weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. Exercise keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help you prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, and certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls.  

Exercise is not beneficial for body only, but for mind and emotions also. Exercising regularly for 30-45 minutes daily has great effects on the health of your brain. It also helps to improve mood. Exercises also helps in the creation of new neurons, due to this it keeps mental disorders like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's at bay. Regular exercise helps to increase the level of brain chemicals, which are responsible to make new brain cells and establishes connections between brain cells to help us learn and grasp new things. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed.  

Another factor that can ensure health and fitness is yoga. Yoga is an ancient science of body postures and mental concentration whose chief purpose is optimal self-realization and self-actualization. The word ‘Yoga’ in the entirety of its meaning, includes regulating and channeling mental forces towards the direction of merging the petty self with the infinite Universe and becoming one with IT.

The literal meaning of Yoga according to the Vedas is ‘union’. The reward of this union with the Universe is the unfolding and blossoming of our potential to its fullest and optimal level. In the state of perfect yoga one receives abundant cosmic energy, which heals, energizes, rejuvenates each and every cell, nerve, and organ of the physical, mental and spiritual body of a man. It cleanses the body of all the ills and toxins that might develop into some fatal ailments. It destresses the mental burdens. In nut

Besides the above mentioned benefits, there are various other benefits of physical exercises such as increased level of self-esteem and confidence, cheerfulness, endurance, stamina, and many more. We must give due place to them in our daily routine. When health can be maintained so easily, why should we seek complex and painful medical help? Stay healthy and fit naturally and have a blast of life!
