Hi...
Notice these scenarios of our world today...
- 70% of premature deaths are due to:
- HEART DISEASE
- CANCER
- STROKE
- DIABETES
- 50% of those deaths are diet related or due to poor nutrition
- 70% of ALL Doctor's visits are diet related or related to poor nutrition
These statistics are taken from WHO Report 2006. I'm sure the figures have changed since then. For the better or for the worse? Asks yourself ...
- Is my health getting better everyday or otherwise?
- Calculate how many visits to the doctor's that you made in the last 3 months?
- Calculate how much you spent on doctor's visit & medicine in the last 3 months?
- Am I taking food which is healthy and nutritious everyday?
- Am I taking 7 portions of fruits & vegetables as recommended by health professionals everyday?
- Am I taking balanced nutrition daily?
- Am I drinking enough water daily? Calculate your daily water intake (weight in kgs x 0.07 = daily water intake in liters). Eg: 50kg x 0.07 = 3.5 liters
- Do I exercise regularly (3 x per/week of light brisk walking etc)?
- Am I taking healthy & nutritious breakfast to start the day?
- How is my weight like in the last 3 months? Increase? Reduced? Maintained?
If you've answered 'NO' to most of the questions above, then you seriously need to do something about your health. If you think taking care of your health & wellness is expensive, try illness... maybe it's cheaper for you to be ill or sick then be healthy.
There are 3 basic things (3 pillars) of good health & wellness that you can do to stay healthy.
1. WATER - drink lots of water - not juice, coffee, tea or fizzy drink. Calculate how much water your body needs daily to function well... then make sure you drink that much everyday. Water is FREE & cheap.
2. EXERCISE - exercise regularly. You don't have to do strenous exercise, something light and simple to get your blood circulation going like brisk walking, running up & down the stairs, push ups or sit ups, cycling etc. You don't have to pay lots of money for a gym membership... lots of FREE & simple exercise that you can do at home... sweep the floor, mop the floor wash the bathroom...etc.
3. GOOD NUTRITION - spend a bit more here to ensure good, healthy & balanced nutrition because whatever you eat will either become your muscle or extra fat in your body. If you choose food that is fattening (too much fat, oil, sugar, salt etc) then your body will absorb that and store it as extra fat. If this happens 3 times a day for 30 days a month for a whole year... no wonder you've put on weight. BUT... if you choose to eat food which is high in nutritional value, balanced, high fiber & low calorie... then your body will absorb the good things and you'll be healthy and not put on weight.
So... 3 things that u need to be healthy... 2 of them are FREE and only 1 that you need to spend wisely on. Isn't that a good deal?
I'll let you ponder on that thought for a while. Check out this link...
