| Bet on Losing |
People always wonder why bother to be so health conscious when there are plenty of examples out there of people who died of heart attack or other degenerative disease even when he or she had adopted a saintly diet. And of course, they question me that whenever I appear to be fastidious about what Im eating.
Life is a gamble. Will you place all ur bets on losing?
It is needless to say that on the gambling table, everyone who places a bet wishes to win. But it is surprising to know that people actually bet on losing when it comes to health just for that instant gratification and satisfaction of filling their stomach with whatever they like to eat (with no considerations whatsoever on better food choices). There are many with this 'Im-going-to-die-anyway' attitude around and it is saddening. By giving up totally on your diet (assuming you eat rich food everyday), you are increasing your risk of earlier onset of diseases.
It is a probability that we are talking about. Anyway, nobody can be certain about anything at all. If positivism can be adopted in gambling, I dont see why optimism in good health (with a good diet) cant be adopted. There are many cases when gamblers lose their fortune and even life. But did people stop gambling altogether, thinking that they will lose no matter what?
Having a fairly good diet is not about chewing grass, eating fruits and no meat. It is all about balancing a day's requirement and making wisER food choices. So what do I mean by wise? Right now, my definition would be to balance the unhealthy choices with the healthier ones on a daily basis.
What Im saying is, you should be conscious of your healh to a certain degree. At least know what you are eating, be responsible for your health and be in control for that little power you hold in your life, leaving the rest to what God has planned for u. |
