In the following article am going to discuss about various health and nutrition issues and how to curb them with just but mere practices which will cost nothing but a little effort from you. I would like to commence by outlining different health issues that we as human beings normally face day by day; High blood pressure Stroke Goitre Scurvy Cancer Hiv/aids Common cold Liver cirrhosis Asthma Malaria Pneumonia Marasmus Typhoid…………………………………………… among many. The above are just but a few in the enormous list of diseases and illnesses human beings suffer from. In most cases, the above illnesses are caused by man’s own carelessness in terms of nutrition and body maintenance. The human body is one among the mysteries of the world and it demands attention without cease. For your body to be fully functional, one must be fully devoted and willing to give it the attention it deserves so that it can in return serve you the same way. A wise man said that for you to withdraw you certainly must deposit and the value of input is in cases most certainly, is equal to the value of output. In this case this will obviously apply with no doubt. If you choose to give your body the attention it asks for, you will get what you want from the body with no deficit. For instance, our bodies require regular check-ups especially our teeth. If you visit a dentist regularly and ensure that your teeth are in the right shape you certainly expect less or no problems arising likes of tooth decay, gingivitis, cavity and such. In the table below, am going to precisely outline a few of the above illnesses and how we can easily curb the with just but simple practices. Health issue simple way to curb it 1.High blood pressure i. Avoid taking food with a lot of fat ii. Doing daily body exercise for at least 30 minutes daily iii. Avoid a lot of stress by sharing your problems with those you trust to ease the burden in your mind 2.Teeth issues i. Brushing your teeth after every meal ii.

Control your blood pressure The above are among the commonly suffered illnesses which by all means possible are originally caused by ourselves either with or without consent. However through the ways the ways I have just discussed above among many other, we can be able to prevent or defeat this deadly reality we live with because it is not inevitable. If we can cause something to happen we can most certainly cause it to stop failure to which we will spend almost all our fortunes trying to cure something that we could have long prevented with so much ease and in a way that we couldn’t have even noticed nor spend an extra coin. In conclusion, I would like to urge each and every human being to gladly embrace methods to keep our bodies fit and embrace change by inventing ways to first consider the better shape of our health so that we can succeed in per suit of realizing a better world where negative health issues are the least of our concerns.
