There is a popular saying that if you have your health you have everything. I didn’t pay much attention to this.I took this for granted and kept pushing myself harder and harder to achieve financial wealth. By the time I was forty years old I had a very healthy bank account however I hardly knew my children and my wife was ready to divorce me.
I tried even harder trying to achieve that goal. I started getting headaches and found that my face was flushed a good deal of the time. My wife sent me to the doctor. I discovered that I had high blood pressure and was on the brink of having a stroke. The doctor put me on medicine to treat the high blood pressure. I felt awful on the medication. The doctor informed me that I could try to lower my blood pressure by changing my lifestyle or we could try another medication.
I have always been a type A personality. I ate standing up, slept three to four hours a night and ate whatever I felt hungry for. Suddenly I found myself trying to eat healthy, get more exercise and more sleep.My physician was quite blunt with me. He told me that my wife and kids would be enjoying my life insurance money in the near future if I did not get my blood pressure under control soon.
My wife, being the wonderful woman that she is, started reducing the salt in my food and began having healthier choices for me around the house.My wife and I started walking together as well as biking. With my wife’s help I managed to lower my blood pressure and I began feeling better. Now that I feel better and have better relationships with my family I realize that having your health is the most important thing.
