It’s like everyday I hear the health news, do this and do that and you will be healthy as an ox. Today it was you don’t drink alcohol and coffee at the same time. It just drives me nuts to hear all these health news and then one health news contradicts the previous one just because they isolated one cause and took another one. The simple news is that if you have a balance diet of vitamins, carbohydrates, iron, proteins etc and just do the exercise you will be just fine. By exercise I mean you don’t have to literally go to the gym and sweat your back off. Just plain walking will be just fine.
You know most of the obesity that is afflicting us is that we don’t do too much physical activity. Everything is now remote controlled. Before we had to literally get up to change the channel of the TV or the volume. But now that activity you can do by just sitting on your back. Then there is the computer activity, desktop you had to come literally to the table to do your work and then the laptop came. Washing and drying of your clothes also took our physical activity away. Same can be said of the dish washer.
I don’t mean to say that all this technology is bad, it is really good and it cuts down time to do those chores and concentrate on other things. But maybe other things are not that physically demanding that people are doing. And then there is the telecommuting which altogether avoids the possibility of going to the office and doing your office work from home. It really has its advantages but we still need to do some exercise. And if people are not able to go to the gym, the most basic and free exercise is to walk. Just walking in the park or even your neighborhood every day will make you feel healthy and cut down on these horrendous obesity rates that Americans are having with all the diseases accompanying it.
