The Disadvantages Of Being Unhealthy
When the morning comes, do you wake up with a bored outlook in life? At the office, instead of dividing your time chatting with your coworkers and doing your tasks, do you just sit idly in your cubicle doing your assignment in a monotonous manner? Do you hear people whispering Robocop wannabe behind your back? As soon as the bell rings, is getting home straight to your plush bed all you could think about so that another day is over and done with?
If you answered yes to all the questions and you have been doing all these for a long time, it means that you are not in a healthy state. Are you sure you want to continue treading this path?
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.
If you are a sane person, you can see the huge difference between someone who is unhealthy versus someone who is not. It is up to you to make the conscious decision to improve yourself or else you will have the disadvantages that a sickly person might go through. Read the succeeding paragraphs to know what they are.
The first disadvantage is it makes you look older than your actual chronological age. It may sound shallow but it is still the truth. This premise applies in the modern society where first impressions really matter, whether you like it or not. How you look counts as much as the data encoded in your resume. If you look pale and stick thin or if you have a blotchy skin and fat body, you might not be idealized as a good employee. This is due to the fact that bosses or human resource officers may think that if you cannot take good care of yourself, then you might also not learn how to take care of your work. They will remedy this problem by hiring someone more pleasant.
Second, you will have a higher chance of getting the dreaded lifestyle diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertensive urgency and even cancer. A person does not get sick in a snap of a finger. It takes days, weeks and most of the time, years of physical abuse on the body to show its effects. If you are the type who gorges on fatty, salty or excessively sweet food, you are in a high risk group. Your chances will double if you do not get any physical workout like a thirty-minute cardiovascular exercise at least three times a week.
Then there is also the subject of vices like too much beer drinking and cigarette smoking. If you are always committing these mistakes, expect liver cirrhosis and lung cancer. Does that sound nice?
Third, an unhealthy state will make you grouchy. You will always come up with excuses not to go to the office. This will reflect badly on your work performance and might cause you to lose your job. If you want to avert this disaster, the take the first step to a healthier you by listening to the advice of your doctor.
