WHY DO THE PEOPLE SAY BEING SICK IS EXPENSIVE?

Healthy, when people hear the word that immediately thought it was no sickness
or suffering from an illness. When talking about a person's health will usually
oriented on physical health, such as avoidance of disease. Yet according to the
World Health Organization, WHO, health or healthy is a state of complete
physical, mental and social as well as a state free of disease and disability. So
healthy in fact it is not only limited to physical health, but it covers all aspects of
human life.
Go back to the initial understanding that the pain was relieved of various diseases,
it is often many times and we hear people say that " Being sick is expensive ", so
there is a saying " if it is prohibited poor sick ". Why this is so ?. If in the view of
life at that time, it proved two things, it is true that the illness is expensive. It can
be seen from the high cost of caring for the sick at this time, outside of the
presence of social security provided by government health care. When sick people
usually choose to get the best health care aid. Of course it will all be directly
proportional to the cost of that expensive anyway. Not to mention the numerous
and expensive drugs to be purchased. The cost of physician services, examinations
- during investigations such as x-rays in hospitals, laboratories, etc. . The cost of
accommodation for families waiting for in -patient at the hospital, as well as other
unexpected costs. When it came to pass that many say that the pain is indeed
proved costly in reality it does happen .
We 've been able to prove that the illness is expensive, but it would be better if we
want to maintain the health of maintaining health for much cheaper and easier to
do than treat disease. Until appeared a slogan that says that " Prevention is better
than cure ". We can not deny it is true what is said by the slogan that we are better
to prevent a disease from occurring in the treat, cure because it will take a lot of
time, cost and effort, not only for the sick but also his family.

Therefore it would be nice if we always get used to a healthy life, as follows :

1. Consuming a healthy diet, sufficient nutrients and nutrition, enough
carbohydrates, fats, proteins and rich in fiber and vitamins and other
substances that are useful to the body.
2. Familiarize exercise at least two to three times a week, even better if we could
spend our time at least fifteen and a half hours in the day to exercise.
3. Adequate rest is also crucial for the health of the body. We are encouraged to
sleep seven to eight hours a day.
4. Creating a living environment is always clean and the air is fresh and clean as
with the planting of shade trees or ornamental flowers that can absorb
substances - toxic substances around your neighborhood also helps in
preventing the onset of a disease.
5. Familiarize things - good things, such as washing hands before handling food
or after the return is traveling from outside or any hand whenever we feel
dirty, because many diseases that occur come from the stomach, from what
we eat, depending on the cleanliness of the things we eat and nutritional
content as previously discussed.
6. Stay away from bad habits such as smoking, late nights rest, lack of exercise,
unhealthy foods such contain a lot of fat and cholesterol, etc. Moreover,
Minang people of West Sumatra known or likely to eat something containing
milk such as rendang or curry that everyone knows that it contains a lot of
bad fats or cholesterol is not good for the health of the many causes of
chronic disease around the heart, which of course if these organs are exposed
will require a lot of costs for treatment.
So as many who say that the pain is expensive, so some of the things mentioned
above can be done to prevent the onset of a disease in a person, both rich and
poor. Because the disease will not select - select either the rich or the poor, while
there is a chance for him to beat the defense of one's body that is where he will
make a problem for the person who is known by the disease. For that let everyone
realizes the importance of maintaining the health of themselves and their
environment to anticipate the number of losses or expenses that would be incurred
when someone is sick.
