How to Maintain Good Health in Today’s Fast Paced Life
Life demands high performance, every time.
And to maintain this level of performance, there are certain parameters that it
expects us to maintain; the most important of them being health. If we want to
continue life in the way that life expects us to, we ought to take good care of
our health. Today’s lifestyle and pace justifies the age old saying "health is
wealth" to the very letter

is a
very tiring and demanding task; nobody gets what we call "leisure time"
today.
But health does not recognize the constraints of the present world, and
does not adapt to the body’s round the clock working mechanism. Your health
will not take care of itself; it has to be taken care of as regularly as one
can.

headaches, heaviness, fatigue, and constipation at bay.
