An Apple A Day..

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.. a very well-known phrase to remind us of the importance of health and how we should pay attention to the signs made by our body for prevention is better than cure.



Being diagnosed with a certain sickness or disease is not an easy reality to accept. A patient might be living a healthy life, and yet get confirmed with diabetes, or high blood pressure, or any other common sicknesses most people have nowadays - this is not easy to adapt to - the new 'life'.

To learn that life is precious from there is not true for every patient. Some might blame 'god' for treating them 'unjustly', some might be putting the guilt on themselves for being too content with their health all those while.. but the fact is that, the patient has failed to take an apple a day, hence ended up visiting the doctor frequently.


In life, adaptation is crucial for survival. We should keep an open mind to see new things, and adapt to them whenever possible. If we refuse to open up ourselves to the outside world, we will learn very little about life and not know how beautiful it really is. So take time to smell the freshness of the morning dew, and take a step into the wild to see what has been blooming - the experience can never be found elsewhere.

So the next time you are 'thrown' with new news, think about adapting to it; your life will be more interesting after that. Cheers!
