Health Is Beautiful


Why is health beautiful?  Last week we focused a lot on the importance of inner beauty and how much inner beauty actually affects outer beauty.    When we talk about beauty on the inside what does that really mean?  If beauty is pleasure to the senses then how can we be beautiful on the inside? 

I believe that inner beauty is having a positive, genuine, healthy and loving mind, body and soul.  This idea might sound so simple but in reality it is not.  If beauty is simple then why are there so many people struggling?  There are so many factors that are out of our control.  We cannot control the body we are born into.  We cannot control the genetics we come from.   We can’t control the country we are born into and our surroundings.  Life is challenging because there are so many things that we cannot control.  So how can we change if there are so many factors out of our control?  My solution is to work on the factors we can control which can actually influence the factors we cannot control.  So now we know that many things we cannot control affect our mind, body and soul.  My solution to affecting the mind, body and soul in a positive way is health.   Here is an example: if obesity is uncontrollably in your gene pool and becomes a challenge to deal with your weight then focus on what you can control which is your diet and physical activity. 

Health is a great example of how inner beauty affects outer beauty.  If you put garbage inside your body do not be surprised if you become unhappy about the way you look on the outside. My personal beliefs about health: Fitness and nutrition does not only have an impact on the body but also on the mind and soul.  The mind impacts the body and soul.  The soul impacts the mind and the body.  Health is beautiful so why would anyone not want to care for their health?
