The Drawbacks Of Being Unhealthy
Are you the type who gets up in the morning feeling no enthusiasm at all to start the day right? Do you go through your daily activities in the office like a robot, performing your tasks in a routine manner that your office mates are calling you Robocop behind your back? When the bell rings signifying the end of the working day, do you breathe a sigh of relief and hurry back to your home in order to dive straight into the bed.
The situations mentioned above are the usual things an unhealthy person can experience over a period of time. Do you like the sound of it? Are you willing to go through this road for the rest of your life?
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.
Can you see the difference between someone who is unhealthy versus someone who is in the pink of health? You must make the conscious decision to better yourself or else you will have the drawbacks that a sickly person might experience. Read the next few 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, 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.
Lastly, if you are sickly you will have grouchy disposition since you are always complaining of some minor aches and pains brought about by your different illness. Your officemates will be annoyed in dealing with you and they might raise this issue to your boss, causing you to lose your job if you do not strive to get better. In a time where there is the threat of layoffs, you must be careful to hold on to your job.
