If a man wants to be happy in life, he must improve his health. Many things are important to take care of your health. The first necessary thing is cleanliness. We should keep our bodies clean. We should take bath daily. We should put on clean clothes. We should keep our surroundings clean. Our houses should be sanitary and well-ventilated.
The second necessary thing is good food. We should eat nourishing food. If our food is poor, we cannot maintain good health. We should take plenty of milk, meat, fish, eggs, fruits and green vegetables. Our food should be pure and fresh. We should eat our food in time. Besides good food, we need pure water. We should drink clean water. If we drink impure water, we become a prey to diseases.
Thirdly, we require physical exercise. There are different forms of physical exercise. We may take an exercise that we like. Walking is a good exercise. If we walk in the morning or evening, we inhale fresh air. Fresh air is very necessary for good health. We should take exercise moderately. Too much of physical exercise damages our health. If we don't like to take any exercise, we may play games. Physical exercise is not necessary to those who do manual work.

Next, we should have rest. We should not work continuously for a long time. Over-work spoils our health. Sleep is the best form of rest. We should have plenty of sleep. Another necessary thing is amusement. We should have some sort of amusement. There are many sources of amusement; games, music, cinema-going, friendship, etc. We should avoid worry. Over-anxiety damages our health.
The development of a country depends on the health of its people. If people are healthy, they can work hard and develop their country. The people of our country do not attach much importance to good health. This is due to their ignorance and poverty. The majority of our people are uneducated. They   are unaware of the rules of health. As they are poor, they cannot eat good food. Children should be taught the importance of health. Health education should form part of school education. If children learn the value of health, they will try to maintain good health all through life.
