Speech writing :
HEALTH IS WEALTH
A very welcome to one and all present here. I am ABC from grade XIIth. Today, on this World Health Day, I would like to share my views, about ‘Importance of health’ in every individual's life.
“Those who think they have no time for exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness”.
A very famous saying by Mr. Edward Stanley – the three-time PM of the are the U.K.
We are all aware & will agree with Mr. Edward. And the truth is a lot of us are even conscious about the fact that health is a matter of almost important.
We all know and have heard umpteen number of times to have a healthy start to begin our day. Let us face it, how many of us truthfully follow a health regime. I would say just about 20% roughly! It is not a fact but my estimation, it may be low or it may be high, depending on country to country, region to region. According to a survey in America a few years back, obesity was becoming a bigger disease than cancer.
Only a healthy person can enjoy the fruits of his labor. What use is one's richness if a person who is wealthy lacks good health? He or she will be spending most of it either a medical bill or on employing help who will assist then to complete their daily chores.
“Health is like money, we never have a true idea of its value unit we lose it.” So before this happens to us, and we lose our health, it is time to think and change.
Lastly, I would want to point out, that great health can be achieved by eating healthy, following at least one physical activity every day, if possible, sleeping sufficient, drinking enough water to keep doing yoga.
Yes and most importantly stay away from junk food as far as possible. Regular exercise is the best.
I end my speech with this very famous saying by William Shakespeare “Our bodies are our gardens – our will our gardeners”.
Thank You.
