We have to pay the price for how we live and what we eat

 We have to pay the price for how we live 

and what we eat

The increase in our lifespan should be a blessing but our bad habits have turned it into a curse.

Modern day medicine is allowing us to live longer lives. Unfortunately, these long lives are not healthy lives. Our bad eating habits, sedentary lifestyles, and smoking have prevented us from enjoying the fruits of medical technology.

Today, even educated people do not understand the dangers say from faulty lifestyle and eating habits.

Well, we have to pay the price for how we live and what we eat

Happy easter

 Happy Easter

Easter is a time for joy and happiness epitomising new beginnings as devotees recall the resurrection of Christ.

Churches throughout the world celebrate Easter as a major feast ranking with Christmas. On Easter Sunday, most Christians attend church in the morning and upon returning home, the younger members of the family receive easter eggs. The type of Easter egg can vary from a simple hard-boiled egg with its shell painted in brillient hues, to the more exqusite confection with an outer shell made from marzipan or chocolate. Upon breaking them one is often delighted to find a delectable assortment of toffees and bon bons.

Easter Eggs can have health benefits – just go for dark chocolate which contains high cocoa content. Dark chocolate is made with a high proportion of cocoa and also contains large amounts of flavonoids, which act as powerful antioxidants and lower blood pressure.
Try to find plain dark chocolate with the highest cocoa content possible, preferably more than 70 per cent. This means they don't have too much sugar and saturated fat.

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy ester

You are what you eat

You are what you eat

We are what we eat. We've all heard it, but most of us probably don't quite believe it.

It's every bit as true as it is hard to see. The nutritional content of what we eat determines the composition of our cell membranes, bone marrow, blood, and hormones. Consider that the average adult loses roughly 300 billion cells to old age every day and must replace them. Our bodies are literally manufactured out of the food we consume.

That's why what we put in them is of utmost importance. In short, our bodies are only as clean as the food we feed them.
It refers to the importance of eating good food. If you have a healthy diet, you will be a healthy person. If you eat unhealthy food, your body will take damage.

Eating well is part of the formula that can reduce our risk of any major chronic disease by 80 percent and reach into our innermost selves to improve the health of our very genes.

In short its all in your hands you have a choice in what you are made of…you are what you eat.
