OUR HEALTH IS IN OUR HANDS

A human feels deeply that health is the biggest wealth as his age goes up. There is an old aged mother in our neighbourhood. She has got many children, much wealth. Although she is almost 100 years old she's still healthy and cheerful. I often visit her. We have a talk for a long time. I also worry about my children's, grandchildren's health and ask her for advice. She says "Health is in our hand, in labour attempt and calmness of soul".

In fact she is right. I'm over 50. Thank goodness my health doesn't trouble me. Because I take power from labour. Ғirst of all I pay an attention to cleanliness, neatness. I try to follow great doctor Ibn Sino's idea "If there hadn't been dust and spray a man would have lived for 100 years. Because different infections may come into organism through dust and they may cause sickness. There will be both health and flourish in a clean place.

Labour tempers man. And a hardened body can stand against ilnessess, exhaustion. Every person should always keep in mind that it is better to prevent the illness than treating it. So until now and later I'll try to do physical exercises as long as I can. Yet a man should worry for his health himself.
