One of the founding fathers of the United States of America, Thomas Jefferson, once observed that “the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”
Truer words have never been spoken, and although Thomas Jefferson’s famous statement was meant to apply to freedom from tyranny and political bondage, the  same principle applies to avoiding the bondage that is inherent in poor health.
As anyone in poor health knows, poor health takes away one’s freedom to fully participate in life and to enjoy the precious relationshiops that make life sweet. We must vigilantly exert ourselves to avoid this type of bondage or suffer consequences that can strip life of its joy.
A philosopher once quipped that the most powerful word in the English language is HABIT. Habits can bind us and they can enable us. In this regard, healthy habits = eternal vigilance that gives us freedom from poor health.
Before discussing healthy habits, we want to expound against the poor habits listed below will lead you to poor health’s bondage. Do not let them be part of your operational mode:
- Trusting in luck — not believing that the person in the wheelchair or the hospital bed or the coffin may likely be me if I am not wise.
- Trusting others too much — especially those who gain from your poor health and and early death, i.e. big pharma and big government.
- Not accepting what are one’s particular health risks and strategizing so as to minimize those risks.
- Failing to establish the Five Habits of Health in one’s ife. (If one fails to plan one’s health habits, it amounts to planning to fail to safeguard one’s health.)
