Grandma’s Secret to being Healthy, Wealthy & Wise…if you ever wanted to know the secret, here it is…

What did grandma say?

It is more than quite likely that when your granny was a little girl, in those good old days, she must have been told these words time and time again, “Go to bed early, rise early, and this will make you wise, wealthy and keep you healthy.”

Now though it is true that those words had a lot of merit in those days and they hold true even today, it is also true that life of today is very stressful and calls for a lot of hard work. As a result, very few people have the opportunity to go to bed early – but yet they have to wake up early to get on with their daily lives.

So does Grandma’s Secret to being Healthy, Wealthy & Wise really hold good even in these days?

It is true, health is wealth. But it is also true that if there is no wealth, there is no health. We live in different times. And if you may have noticed, it costs a small fortune to buy medicines when someone falls ill. And it costs a bigger fortune to take care of all the hospital bills if someone has to be admitted in the hospital.

So while it is true that health is wealth, even the opposite is true today. To stay healthy, one has to work hard, so that one can pay off all the medical bills when one falls ill. So, even though grandma may have endorsed that one had to go to bed early and rise early to stay healthy, there is not much truth in it anymore. This is because times are so tough, it becomes hard for people to go to sleep early, even though they have to wake up early.

Is there any truth then to Grandma’s Secret to being Healthy, Wealthy & Wise?

Life is a mad rush no doubt, but in that mad rush for money, pleasures and what not, grandma must not be forgotten – or at least her concepts of life, a better life must not be lost. Whatever you are looking for in life, you must make sure that you do not neglect your health.

If you are not in good health, you will not get anything in life. So, though you may have to get up early to go to work or college or whatever, you must make it a point to try to ensure that you get a good amount of sleep. After all, you need to rest that body and mind of yours – it is not machine.

The bottom line about Grandma’s Secret to being Healthy, Wealthy & Wise…

Life is not just about getting up and rushing off to your work place and then rushing about doing your daily chores and then rushing back home and then rushing off to bed and getting ready for the next day. If you rush so much, you may not have – a next day.

Good rest, good exercise and good food, that is the way to staying healthy wealthy and wise – that is what Grandma’s Secret recipe of life is all about.
