Food


Enjoyments are very easy to come by these day. They come in all sorts of forms: Cigarette, alcohol, computer games, food, sex and last but not least drugs. Most of them especially food are cheap and easy to acquire; You can get most of them in a shopping mall. I think this is going to be a serious health issue.

Usually, when we open our eyes in the morning, we brush our teeth, get changed and are ready for breakfast. We go to the food stalls, look at all the options and decide to have the one we are most craved for. That decision were done so quickly just because we can. WE DON'T THINK. This is causing many health issues on people having breakfast that are bad for health--high sugar, high in oil, high in salt.--that I think even the stall owner would not notice( Why would they?). People are getting obese because of this convenience. 

I have a few friends who do this. When I told them about the potential health issue they will have eating all this convenient food, their reactions are either ignoring me and keep eating or simply made up reasons so they can shut me up and keep eating. It is not like they are not feeling the disadvantage of their eating habit; some of them are having diarrhea regularly, become fatigue easily and having trouble gaining weight.

Only recently, have I been eating real food. I'm not gonna lie but I'm feeling the benefits already even only after three months since I consciously controlled my diet. I feel more energetic through out the day, more emotionally stable and last but not least having more confident in myself.

Is there anything we can do if we are stuck with the diet that we got used to for so long? I'm sure it is only out attitude that is stopping us. If we be more conscious about our choice of food every time we eat, we will think twice before shoving that piece of donut towards our mouth.

Do I have any tips? Yes, I have one, and I think that is all we really need--don't get hungry. What I mean is, eat when you are hungry and don't eat when you are not. How do you know if you are really hungry and not simply craving for sugar? I have a simple test: when the next time you are hungry, imagine there is an apple in front of you, do you want to eat the apple to fill your stomach? If your answer is no, that means you are just craving for food. (If you answered yes, easy,just eat apple.)


It is only normal for people to eat what they want, after all it is their body and they are the one responsible for it. I only hope they will be more honest and conscious with their choices, not trying to come out with lame excuses the next time they are entering fast food chains.
