Adjust Our Diet 1: The Awareness

“You are what you eat” and there is more and more evidence supporting the influence of food on health. Over the years, my family realized that if we wish to keep away from diseases, the most important thing is to change our mind-set on food. If our daily diet comprises mainly meat, eggs and dairy products, they will enhance the acidity level of our bodies. We are also aware that whatever medicine we take or operations we undergo would only provide temporary relief through suppression of the disease. All our money would be spent on visiting medical specialists and purchasing medicines. We would befriend medicines, doctors, pharmacists, clinics and hospitals our whole life.

Just observe the circles of friends, colleagues, relatives, bosses and elders, it is not uncommon to find that many are actually not in good health condition. Many of the successful peoples in life are not enjoying a healthy life. They have fame, money, wealth and properties but lack good health. Some of the cancer patients I met over the years were very rich but their wealth could not enable them to live longer. When faced with chronic diseases or sicknesses, they wish their money could save them. Unfortunately, in many cases the wish could not be fulfilled. At most, their money could sustain their lives for some time.

We have to make a choice and find the balance between material wealth and health. It is the health awareness that counts. To raise your level of awareness, knowledge and experience of others are important food for thought.

My family has taken a decisive step in switching to health food to save life and to maintain our health. It is a path where there is no turning back. Why should we turn back while enjoying the joy of good health? I will share with you all and elaborate the process and how my family changed our food since 1996.

Taking the first step in changing our eating habit was the most difficult. Simply, our tongues have been used to the conventional tasty food. It took a few months to accustom to the new original taste of food. In any case, we gradually overcame the initial difficulties as we walked the healthy path. We started with the major daily meals, i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was a phased approached.

To enjoy the ultimate condition of good health, we have to adjust our daily diet happily and the way we wish to do it. Be ready, we are moving towards good healthy living.
