Here is an interesting story:
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered, "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not
live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

A wise man indeed. The point to note here is that while your career and family may be important, nothing supersedes your health.
From what you’ve read so far, it may seem to be all gloom and doom if you’re guilty of having neglected your health for a while. Cast your fears aside. Your health and body constantly seek to improve and get better. You just need to assist them.
