By Keeping our minds and body healthy is an important priority for all of us. How can we keep our mind and body healthy? To have a healthy body we need to eat the right kind of food and to have a healthy mind one important criterion is to have healthy relationships with people around us.
Whenever we eat, we need to choose the food that gives us energy and the food that is suitable for our bodies. If our choice of food goes wrong then our body will suffer. We end up with many kinds of health ailments. This spoils our physical well-being.
Proper communication is a key to maintain healthy relationships. Whenever we talk to others, it is essential that use appropriate words to communicate. When we do not manage the words we speak, we can easily trigger the other person and mess up our relationships. This spoils our mental well-being.
To maintain our physical and mental well-being we need to be careful with what we eat and what we speak. Before anything comes out of your mouth, meaning the words you speak, ask your mind, Am I choosing the right words? Will it affect my relationships? Will it affect my mental peace? Continue to speak only when you have made the right choice of words.
In the same way, anything that enters your mouth meaning what you eat, ask your body, Have I chosen the right food that will energise my body and keep me fit? Will it affect my body? If you feel your physical well-being is taken care then, then proceed to eat.
Our tongue helps us to articulate and also helps us to taste our food. If we can control our tongue, is it not easy to take care of our physical and mental well-being? Control your tongue – just that.
