Redd Foxx once said “Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing." As sardonic as this may sound, reality is that a lot of people are ignorant of health because they feel as if it does not matter what they do; they will some day die of something. This approach to health puts many people at risk of developing unhealthy eating habits, drug and alcohol abuse, and sedentary lifestyles.
I am one of those people Redd Foxx was referring to when he wrote the quote. I pay close attention to my health and the health of my family. Being a semi-vegetarian, I will eat salmon and tilapia for proteins; I do make sure my family eats a balanced diet. I try to walk for half an hour at least four times a week. I must admit that I do not get adequate sleep due to the fact that I have a family and a young child to take of; as a result, as a result, I devote to studying late at night.
I ensure that I use preventatives measures while driving like using a seat belt. None of my family members consume any alcohol. I rarely have to resolve conflicts but when I do, I always preferred talking it out with the other person.
Health is important to me and my family. This attitude forces me to make healthy decisions every day. The saying “it is all in your mind” is very factual. If health is on your mind, then you find yourself living it.

"It's all in your mind"--a small saying that means so much! I agree with you; if health is on your mind then you'll end up living it. The only problem I have is getting it on my mind, so to say! The saying goes "old habits die hard" and I believe new ones are even harder to start! And basically, all we're doing is forming health habits! Good for you and your family!
Sorry about the post that was deleted-bad grammer!
