Health is wealth, no two ways about it, we can only enjoy true wealth if we are healthy, no body in the hospital bed will be looking for more money,his only prayer would be to get cured and stay healthy. Only an healthy person aspires for many things.
This is why It can't be overemphasized that we all need to maintain an healthy habits, our life style and the things we eat.
The truth about sickness is that it can be very preventable, instead of looking for costly cure for a sickness that you can easily prevent.
Except your sickness is hereditary or unprecedented.
I got a secret weapon to fight sickness since when I was in the University. I do a lot of body exercises(Calisthenics).
Before getting to know about this secret weapon, I was one weak, and easy to get sick kinda person.
I can get tired, feel feverish, and get malaria and typhoid easily within the space of one month. I was not fit and I have fat all over my body.
The Power of Calisthenics
For me, calisthenics is more than just a form of exercise – it's a way of life.
It is now a normal routine for me to wake in the morning, do some pushups and sit-ups, do some planks at Night for improvement of my core strength.
I've noticed significant improvements in my physical and mental health. Calisthenics helps me to boost my mood, this is because whenever you do exercises your body releases endorphins, which have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. For example Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed or stuck, a good workout session always helps me clear my mind and shift my perspective.
Also my Energy Levels are increased, instead of me taking energy drinks and caffeine, I just do some routine exercises. I've noticed that I'm more productive and focused throughout the day when I prioritize exercise.
My body results were superb, I now look very fit, flexible, strong and athletic.
Let me explain to you what Calisthenics means in a very simple term:
Calisthenics are exercises that you perform using only your body weight as resistance. Instead of carrying any weight or tools, all you need is your body, you don't need to go to gym or use any equipment.
Here are some of my favourites Calisthenics
Push-ups: push ups are classic exercise that targets multiple muscle groups, including my chest, shoulders, and triceps.

Squats: these are exercises for working my legs, glutes, and core, helping me build strength and stability.

Sit ups: You can do sit ups to strengthen your core and abdomen.

Planks: this particular exercise engages my core, improving my posture and reducing any form of back pain.

Here are my secret weapons that help me combat some sickness, it's is also very important to sleep and rest well.
Our Economy in Nigeria is truly not making things easy for us, we have to work extra, which in results takes a lot of our time, meant for resting, reflection and body recovery.
I have learned that rest and recovery are equally crucial. When I'm feeling under the weather, I prioritize getting plenty of rest and allowing my body to recover.
You will be surprised at how well you will be if you can just get a good body rest.
Enough sleep, help the body energised and immune stronger.
Finally Make sure you eat good food. Your body needs Nutrients to stay healthy and fit.
You will be surprised at how powerful your body immune system is.
Have a great Weekend ❤️
Even if we have all the money in the world, if we do not have good health, that money will be of no use to us. That is why it is said that health is more important in this world than money. If we take care of our health, we can live a good life in the future.
