Being Healthy
Is the absence of disease the same as health?
Good Morning this is Doctor Joe Cincotta. Is the absence of disease the same as health? These conditions are not the same. Because someone is not inflicted with a particular disease or illness at any point in time does not mean that they are healthy. The absence of disease is often a matter of chance or luck. But being healthy is an act of choice. We encounter opportunities to choose health everyday and many times we make these choices good or bad without much thought. We have daily opportunities to be healthy; making wise food choices, getting proper rest, regularly exercising, and balancing work and relaxation. These are only a few of what we can actively do each day to be healthy and we can all list many things that we consider poor health choices but lets stay focused on the positive We don’t know when by chance, we will face illness but, we can reduce the odds with our healthy choices. Let’s try to make these healthy choices everyday, every time.
