situations can cause stress. Modern life exposes people to many stressors, including natural disasters, illnesses, and noise. Day-to-day problems, such as burning toast, or taking tests, may also be stressful. People need not experience events directly to feel stress. Television, newspapers, and other means of mass communication flood people with information about upsetting events throughout the world. All these things may be harmful to our health.

To tell the truth there are many other hazards to our health but they could be easily avoided if we followed the Golden Rules of ethics and lived in accord with Nature. Our inner balance alone can withstand many illnesses which otherwise turn dangerous. Because of this the society is to take more preventive measures rather than think only of widening the network of chemist shops.

Taking into consideration all these aspects we can state that health alone is a victory. It’s necessary to consider the term “health” in its broader sense – not only physical but spiritual as well. An ancient proverb says, “A sound mind in a sound body”. If we want to preserve our health we should be persistent. The motto – “lead a healthy life” – is rather suitable in this case. We must go in for sports, have plain food and forget about cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs and be kind and tolerant to others. No one can do it for us and only then will the heavens help those who help themselves.
