“Health is wealth,” said a wise man an eon back.n ‘Gullible’ as we are, we believed him. But soon when money came pouring in from all directions, we understood what wealth really was. And life was never ever the same.

We keep a bottle of water on our desk so that we don’t have to move when thirsty. The cookie jar under our table helps us when hunger strikes. The only exercise regime that we have is a walk to the parking zone and a weekly visit to the supermarket. “Who has the time for a morning walk, yoga, exercise and the likes? It’s what retired and old people do who really need it,” defends a generation who’s full of aggression to make money while the sun shines.

And so, cases of obesity, slip disc, migraine, high blood pressure and depression have increased by leaps and bounds. We realize the threat, but we don’t act unless we suffer. Consider yourself blessed if all work and no play have kept you hale and hearty.

As time passes, these cases will increase. And therefore, to make sure your health is not disturbed, start managing your time.
Simple changes in your lifestyle can work wonders to your well-being.
-It could be as small as taking the stair case instead of the lift or
-A good laugh in between grueling work hours.
-You can push your group of friends to join an evening gym – that could be your hang-out with pals!
-Instead of a pizza, go for a salad Subway sandwich when in a mall.
-Learn basic exercises and do them while on your chair. Walk while talking on your cell phone.
-Get a good massage on the weekend.
-When you go to a disc, make sure you take on the dance floor!

Start smiling a little more often…

These are just a few examples. List a few things you love doing and see how you can include them in your lifestyle to stay fit. Fitness is not about a regime; it’s about how well you understand your body and gives it what it asks for.

And remember, tomorrow never comes. Just go and find your fitness mantra today for health is actually the real wealth.
