Steemit Engagement Challenge S8-W4 | An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
Hello friends,
Welcome to my blog. How have you been? Trust everything is moving on well?. We are already in a new week and gradually moving. This topic is a very vital topic and such everyone should learn health tips. I desire to learn more that's why I chose to participate in this contest.
Today, I will be sharing with you some health benefits that everyone needs to know. May be some persons knows it already, but for the benefit of those who don't know, please read through and learn more.
"An apple a day, keeps the doctor away". This is a popular phrase that we hear often, but once this is said, what comes to your mind? Does it mean you should always eat apple to scare the doctor away?, or you should keep eating apples everyday so that the doctor doesn't see you? Well, the first time I heard this phrase, a lot ran through my mind and I was not sure of the meaning until I asked questions.
From my understanding about this phrase, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away simply means that one should stay healthy at all times so you don't make the hospital your second home. Eating healthy foods, drinking healthy water, taking care of your skin properly, your body in general needs to be taken care of too.
It's not just about eating good food, that matters. Once every month, take care of your hair, your nails, your skin, all these contribute to our taking an apple a day to keep the doctor away. To stay healthy means to keep your environment clean because charity they say, begins at home. So first thing first. You cannot have a dirty environment and tend to eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away,, no the doctor will keep coming. Infact you will make his office your home, or better still, your paradise. So do the needful and remain healthy.
Water Therapy
To stay healthy, I have this water therapy I do early hours of the morning on daily basis. I take lukewarm water (it must be room temperature) everyday.
Importance
This therapy has been of a great importance to me because, it flushes my stomach and build in me a strong immune system. I don't have pot belly and my shape is still beautiful. That my skin looks this beautiful and healthy today is as a result of this water therapy. It also rehydrate me since all through the night, I take water just once. This is one of my apples I take a day.
Milk Therapy
To maintain a healthy living, I take a glass of milk every 2 days. It could be in the morning before meal or at night after meal, but I prefer taking it at night. After my meal at night, before bedtime, I take a glass of milk.
Importance
This therapy has maintained me a healthy weight. I am not too fat and am not too slim, I only maintain my weight. It keeps me strong, healthy and fresh. Milk therapy leaves my skin glowing at all time. I don't have rashes, pimples, skin irritation, my skin is always glowing because of this therapy. But remember that excessive intake of milk can cause unhealthy living.
Eating varieties of fruits
I love taking fruits everyday. It could be in the morning, afternoon or night, it doesn't matter the time. But I try as much as I can to maintain it. Just last night, I ate cucumber with groundnut.
Importance
This fruits nourishes my body and leaves my skin soft. It also aid in proper digestion of meals. Taking these fruits keeps my brain active always. I don't visit the hospital or see a doctor from year to year. I keep a healthy living.
About the water therapy, my mom taught me how to go about it at early stage in life. I stayed with her while at teens age, so every morning, my mom wakes up as early as 5am to take water and at that time, she wakes me up too. She taught me the health importance of the activity. This is how I got to know about this habit and will still take it to my next generation.
Then for the other 2, (milk, and fruits) I discovered them myself. I was on the internet one day checking on ways to maintain a healthy living and also balance my weight. I read a lot of things, but these 2 got my interest and I decided to carry out the activities and luckily for me, I am enjoying it. This is just 5 months 1 started it.
Health benefit of water therapy
It keeps the body temperature in regulation.
It keeps your immune system running.
It prevents constipation.
It helps reduce dehydration
It also helps fight bacteria in the system.
Health benefit of milk therapy
It provides adequate and quality protein to the body.
It makes the bones and muscles very active.
It also guarantee stressfree day.
It helps to control your sugar level.
If you are diagnosed with ulcer, you need a glass of milk everyday.
Health benefit of fruits and veggies
It prevents cancer.
It reduces heart diseases.
It generates vitamins and minerals.
It contains fiber, which helps in the proper digestion of food.
Sure, everyone could engage, just as no one is limited to a healthy living. I mentioned earlier that to maintain a healthy living, one need to be environmentally clean. You cannot be carrying out these activities in a dirty environment and expect a healthy living. Living a healthy life saves hospital bills, I know you have heard "health is wealth".
These activities can develop a person mentally. Imagine taking a glass of milk today before going to work, it will make you think fast, act fast, deliver fast. Your whole activities for the rest of the day would be so easily done.
These habits can save lots of money. A lot of persons complain of headache, why not take a glass of water or milk and save yourself the stress of spending money on medications. Some person will keep complaining to their doctor about one particular pain in the chest and because the doctor enjoys your money, he will keep recommending medications. Y not take fruits and quit stressing yourself and your purse.
These therapies are very essential, try them today and save more.
To my fellow steemians, as I advice you, I also advice myself, and because I love you and wish for you to remain healthy,
You ought to eat more of fruits and vegetables. Drink water at interval, it helps keep you fit at all times, limit sugary intake,get enough sleep. Please do not skip breakfast and if you must skip breakfast, take a glass of milk and stay healthy.
All these health tips are just for our up keep and because we are all loved here, that was why this topic came up to help us maintain a healthy living always. Stay healthy and stay safe!

I must say I have learnt so much from you today too. It is really true that we drink water well as it keeps us healthy. I must also say the fruits and veggies fight diseases as you explained. I would love to live to a rope old age therefore I must adjust my healthy routine. Success in the challenge. #steem-on
