Wellness vs Health

 

We all want to live forever, but even with annual check-ups, we spend our time sitting on the sofa watching the big screen and eating junk food.

When we were young we were invincible with a metabolism that burns all those fries and pizzas.

If we were dedicated to taking care of our bodies we wouldn’t be pressured to start smoking or attending frat keg parties.

Health insurance as a benefit was just another deduction from the paycheck until the baby came along.

Holidays and Birthdays and other gatherings were centered on abundance of eating and drinking. If jogging and going to the gym were going to work off all those calories, we’d all look like Olympians.

When we get sick or old, we want to repent for all those years of indulgence.

Now with Covid-19 virus flying around the world, everyone is concerned about our health. With no cure, it seems so simple.

Wear a mask, stay away from people and wait.

This doesn’t work for people in prisons or apartments or schools or public transportation or hospitals or barracks or dormitories or senior homes or any confined space.

Going to your medical professional to get a test or a diagnosis may prove positive or negative for the moment.

With so many unemployed and lost of health insurance, there are fees for service. There is a cost for health care.

No matter what you eat or how much you exercise or if you sleep well, there is a time stamp on life.

Good luck.
