You don’t want to be restricted by ill-health or overweight in your journey through life! You want to live a long and useful life! So, change your lifestyle. Change the way you think about food. Start a weight loss diet plan that appeals to you today.
It has been observed in recent times, that more and more people are becoming victims of one ailment or another. More people are aging faster, and obesity, even in children, has become the order of the day. People need to be sensitized and educated on this trend so that they know what to do to redress the situation.
Healthy eating, a shift from our modern lifestyle is the solution to most of our diseases, premature aging and obesity. You will discover that you can attain and maintain good health just by eating right. Proper diet can also help you age without looking wrinkled.
More than 80% of diseases these days are caused by our diet and lifestyle. Because of our busy lifestyles and schedules, more and more people are opting for unhealthy high calorie fast foods instead of traditional healthy low calories home – cooked meals. Today, we indulge in sophisticated preserved canned and refrigerated foods. Dr S.E. Osawe, a nutritionist, encourages us to take the trouble to understand and appreciate the value of nutrition and herbal medicine in the maintenance and restoration of good health, as well as in the building up of the immune system for a long, happy an useful life.
Most diseases can be prevented if only people can be persuaded to go back to basics and eat more natural foods like fruits, vegetables, healthier proteins and carbohydrates. They should not wait to be faced with a life – threatening situation before they change their diet.
Death rate in the US in the early 1900 from heart –related diseases was 15%. Presently, over 400 die daily from bad diets and habits.
Our fore fathers lived long and healthy lives because of their natural diet. Present day Chinese and Taiwanese grow rice but do not grow fat on rice. They eat small portions of rice with plenty of vegetables, while we Africans, especially West Africans, eat large bowls of rice with very little meat or fish, and hardly any vegetables and grow fat on rice. Life expectancy in China is about 120 years while in West Africa, it is less than 70.
Some hereditary diseases like diabetes continue to manifest over time because of wrong diet. Ignorance has a part to play in our choice of food. Someone needs to change the diet in such families for the better in order to redress the trend.
No drug will stop aging and death, but with the right type of diet, most of the attendant problems of aging and disease will be minimized and we can live a healthier and comfortable life until God decides to call us.
