Be well

One of the easiest resources to take for granted is health.

Though malnutrition kills thousands daily, most people never know true health.
There are an immeasurable number of gradations between health and obesity; few are they who genuinely prize their health above convenience or simplicity.

To complement this, one of the leading expenses in a person's life is often medical; the evidence of this often shows up only in the later years, when we spend much of our time paying for decisions we made in youth and throughout the middle of our lives.

In the same way that we can overtax our time budget and overtax our fiscal budget, we can assuredly tax our health budget; this also means we have some degree of control over our health.

Each of us is in a state where singular improvements can improve our lives.
Regardless whether we have occasion to spend time with loved ones, engaged in hobbies, or learn new skills, these small improvements can build and improve the depth and quality of each area of our lives.

Here are three simple ways in which we can improve your health

Add 30 minutes of activity to your day
  •  A small walk
  • Parking your car further from your destination
  • Spending time with a friend who walks their own pet(s)
Drink more water
  • Most of us don't drink enough
  • In addition, often what we do drink promotes dehydration.
Getting sufficient sleep (6 - 8 hours / night):
  • Improved concentration
  • Increased endurance
  • Promote general health
A far more effective use of resources would be to be spend more time outside; sunlight and light exercise will do wonders for your health.
