We are so concern about our health, still can’t resist ourselves when we see fast or junk food isn’t it? Reason is, it tastes better than healthy food. We want more and more of it. We forget while eating unhealthy food that what harm it can do to our body. I know some people who can’t leave unhealthy eating habits and are ready to consume medicines afterwards. Junk food is so tempting.

But now the things are changing for better. WHO has also suggested countries to restrict marketing of unhealthy food, levi high tax on sugary drinks, provide more healthy food, provide space for walking and cycling. These suggestions are given keeping in mind the high number of obese people and children and I totally relate and agree with all these suggestions. The root cause of illness should be eradicated. The steps taken in the right direction on right time leads to better and healthy generation.

There are so many YouTube channels which are engaged in providing healthy recipes, watch them. Eating healthy is a choice which one should adopt as soon as possible. Children will learn to eat healthy if parents also eat healthy food. I too when switched to healthy food choices discovered that, healthy options are also tempting. It gives you sense of satisfaction that, all which we consume will only benefit our body. Improves our immunity.

Nobody wants to be ill, isn’t it? The day you choose health for yourself is the day you choose health for your entire family. Which food is healthy food? Local, seasonal and traditional food is healthy food. The food which we make at home, the food which we used to enjoy in our childhood, the food which is available in our nearby local market, the food which doesn’t have fancy packing.

If you don’t want to eat medicines as food then start eating food as medicines. Eating healthy brings joy from within, we feel light. We become physically fit with regular excercise. Eating healthy and exercise go hand in hand. Being fit means, we save ourselves and our family from unexpected huge expenses incurred if we get any lifestyle disease and get hospitalised. Being fit means, we save our family from emotional trauma faced by them if we get hospitalised. Being fit also means we can perform all the daily activities with ease and are always energetic.

So, eat healthy stay wealthy. We save money, otherwise spend on medicines when we are unhealthy. Avoid fast and junk food as much as possible. When we have control over food choices we make, our health improves.

Stay happy, eat healthy stay wealthy.
