Health is a physiological state meaning ‘normal functioning’ of the body. If all pathological values are normal, you are ‘healthy’, but ‘fitness’ is the ability to perform physical functions beyond what is expected of a normal human being. If a 50 year old looks and acts like a 50 year old, chances are he is ‘healthy’. But if that 50 year old person looks and acts like a 25 year old person, then we are a very ‘fit’ human being and if a 50 year old person looks, behaves and acts like a 70 year old person and If we work then we are a very ‘incompetent’ person. And the irony is that such a person can be healthy at the same time.”

Be educated and keep educating yourself and gaining knowledge – always have a thirst to know more. More importantly, apply what you learn; And most importantly, lead by example.”
