Health is the best wealth

Health is the most precious belonging of a man without which human beings cannot lead a happy life. If we do not have a good health, we are deprived of all pleasures of life and cannot think of a productive life also. We should instil in our children a sense of awareness about the necessity of good health in order to be active and successful in life.  It is seen that active parents raise active children. It is good to see that more and more city dwellers are becoming health conscious. Many gyms are being operated in our city and the number of female members of the gyms is increasing as more and more women are joining to stay fit as they do not feel safe to have work-outs in the open places.

We have no choice but to be health conscious as we see an alarming rise in diseases like diabetes, hypertension etc. even among the young people. I hope the new mayors will build a community gym in every locality so that the young people can join with nominal fees and stay away from the unhealthy activities like smoking and drugs. There is no denying that fact that investment in health will surely give us the best interest in the long run.
