Exercise is the most helpful activities any one can take. It needs only a few minutes everyday but the benefits is great. This is the activities most of us feared.

You all know that the food we ate today is no longer a healthful food. We are lazy to prepare our own foods at home. We choose eating in fast food store because it is the easiest way to eat without any effort compared to preparing the food in the kitchen. What we only need is money, then presto, you are full. But what it takes you?

Many of us have elevated cholesterol. We ate oily foods and other cholesterol-rich food,  fried chicken,  fried legs,  ribs or any other fried items.

When can we be more sensible in taking foods healthful to us? When can we learn our lesson seeing others rushed to the hospital because their cholesterol already over the required level of safety. Why wait being there?

Vegetables fights disease. It is a healthy food. Our body needed it as part of the daily requirements of vitamins and minerals. By eating this kind of food it can correct any of our vitamin deficiency.  But some of us are taking against it.

Look those people in the rural areas or those living in the mountain. Fruits and vegetables were mostly their kinds of food. No need to buy in the market, its free and available in their own backyard. They were very resourceful by planting vegetables in their garden sustaining them. They only bought fish, salted fish and other basic goods. When it comes to fruits, they were around their house. If harvest season come, they sells the extra to the market. But look at their health, they were mostly slim but strong. Many of them reached the age to almost 100, while those  living in the urban areas cannot match their feat of living longer. Their kind of food was different from ours. They were full of energy working from morning till noon. That’s the difference.

If we can change our ways of eating food that gives benefits to our body, we expect that we are far from getting sick and live longer. We have one life. We have to protect it. This is our only chance. Happy vegetable eating!
