PHYSICAL FITNESS: an antidote to sickness
Cicero (106-43 BC), Roman writer, statesman, and orator in one of his rhetorical works - De Oratore (On Rhetoric), says ‘A careful physician..., before he attempts to administer a remedy to his patient, must investigate not only the malady of the man he wishes to cure, but also his habits when in health, and his physical fitness.’
Human being have time immemorial try to look for remedy to his entire problem, and one of the greatest problem of man kind is sickness. Researches have shown that the rate of mortality in any given population is increased by sickness than any other source of mortality. Sickness without any prolong argument, it’s one of the greatest enemy of mankind, and the fact remain that man will continue looking for lasting remedy to her problem and will always want to conquer the greatest enemy.
Louis Pasteur (1822 - 1895), a French scientist who spent most of his life working on the causes of various diseases and there prevention, and who before his death complete investigation on rabies (hydrophobia) and provide a vaccine for it, in his address to the Fraternal Association of Former Students of the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, Paris, say with all boldness that ‘‘when meditating over a disease, I never think of finding a remedy for it, but, instead, a means of preventing it’’. If a man like Louis will prefer prevention to treatment I think it a good thing to talk about antidote than treatment.
I will like to discuss the word antidote, before we go on what we refer to as antidote to sickness. ANTIDOTE according to a dictionary literally means ‘to give against’, antidote is something that will take away or reduce the bad effect of something experienced earlier.
Antidote,
Now let see what should be the new antidote to sickness, though it is not a new thing to us but that we have not give it a thought, it’s not a new knowledge but one of those we have not take our time to note, the antidote is physical fitness. Physical Fitness or what? you may ask, and I will say YES! PHYSICAL FITNESS
A dictionary define Physical Fitness as a state of being healthy and strong so that you are able to do hard work or sport (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English).
Some expert defined Physical Fitness as the ability of the human body to meet demands imposed by the environment and daily life. Fitness is a state of body that helps develop a more positive and dynamic attitude to life and is likely to affect most phases of human existence.
While some specialist in the field of Physical Fitness sees the term Physical Fitness as the ability to perform ones daily routine without complaining of fatigue and still have extra energy for unplanned task and also have reserved energy to enjoy recreation or leisure time.
Most people will want to question me on how being fit will serve as an antidote to sickness, and that is exactly what I want to discuss here.
Exercise and temperance can preserve something of our early strength even in old age.
One of man's greatest failings is that he looks almost always for an excuse in the misfortune that befalls him through his own fault, before looking for a remedy—which means he often finds the remedy too late...... Watch Out for More
