The Drawbacks Of Being Unhealthy

By Lesli Jambers

If you are the kind of person who wakes up in the morning without feeling a dash of zest to begin the day, then you might have to admit that you are not feeling well. If you are at your office just going through your list of must do activities that reminds others of Robocop, then you should definitely start seeking for professional help. Things are definitely worse if the day ends and all you can think about is the comfortable bed waiting for you at home.

If you answered in the affirmative to all the queries raised in the aforementioned paragraph and you have been doing all these for some time already, it could only mean that you are not in the pink of health and that you need to seek medical treatment.

In contrast, a person who is healthy will wake up with fervor and passion the moment he opens up his eyes. He will also be more fired up to begin his daily chores, maybe even whistling along the way. He will also have plenty of time to socialize with his colleagues as he moves from one department to the other. At the end of the working day, he still has time to grab something to drink at the local pub or does some other chore like grocery shopping or reading books at the nearest library.

Do you see what difference a good health can make in the life of an individual? Being healthy is way better than being sickly. Therefore, it is vital that you strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, having regular exercise and visiting your attending physician. Read the succeeding paragraphs to know the drawbacks of being unhealthy.

First, you will look older than your actual chronological age. This may sound like a shallow reason, but in a world where first impressions really matter, you might want to think about this more conscientiously. It is not flattering and you might lose a job offer along the way. You may ask how that is possible. Well, if you give people the wrong impression that you are not taking care of yourself, they might assume that you also do not know how to take care of your clients or the needs of your client. They will then decide to look for a better partner with a more pleasing personality.

Second, if you are unhealthy, you will have a higher chance of getting the scary lifestyle diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertensive urgency and even cancer. Take note that a person does not get sick in just a few seconds. It takes days, weeks and most of the time, years of physical abuse on the body to show its negative effects. If you have indulged yourself in sinful food like fatty, salty or excessively sweet stuff, you are under a high risk group. Your mortality rate will increase if you don't have any form of physical activity.

Add to that the secret vices like too much beer drinking and cigarette smoking and you should expect to have a shorter lifespan. You must be crazy to think that all these sounds okay because they really are not.

Third, you will have grouchy disposition since you are always complaining of some minor aches and pains brought about by your different illness. This will affect the way you deal with your fellow office workers. If you do not improve your level of health and this pattern continues, you might end up alienating yourself. However you want to take a look at it, this does not sound like a great idea so you should better clean up your act.
