The healthier you are, the more successful you can be. It has been said that a person with good health has hope, and one with hope has everything. Health is our most valuable weapon in facing life’s opportunities and struggles along with it. When addressing our health, we habitually focus on improving our physical body. Consequently, we often fail to remark on other aspects of our well-being. Hence, we must recognize that spiritual, emotional, and mental health is as important as physical health.
