Ultimate Health 6: A Health Dream for All

When health is reclaimed gradually via consumption of health food, there will be a total change in all aspects of our life. Being healthy means that we look younger and indeed health food is the fountain of youth. We may be in our 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s or 80s, still energetic and have a good memory. During old age, instead of busy looking for medicines, and spending much time visiting the hospitals, clinics and pharmacies, we may be able to afford holidays in other parts of the world.

The change in food preparation begins in the family. A healthy family would have a health-loving member leading all other members to a healthy lifestyle. A healthy family would then become the model for others to follow. Ultimately, we all could contribute to the ‘health of every one, health of the society, health of the nation, health of the world and health of the borderless universe’.

It is my dream to pursue a master plan of health for all in the universe. Even though only a very small part of the human population accepts the health food lifestyle, the concept is gradually being accepted by those who wish to reclaim health and live a healthier life.

The dream of pursuing a master plan of health for all cannot be achieved by a minority of people in the world. There is now increasing awareness and understanding on how meat-eating contributes to pollution and environmental destruction. In the town called Ghent in Belgium, residents go meatless every Thursday (Koay 2009). In Europe, more and more people choose a vegetarian diet. The Malaysian Meatless Day (November 25) campaign started in 1996 with 800 ledges and by 2008, the number of pledges increased to 8,563 (Koay 2009). You too can play a role, no matter where you are. Help yourself and assist others to achieve healthier living. The best gift you can present to your parents and other family members is to help them attain, maintain and regain health by consuming health food. The ethical part of taking less or no meat is a personal issue, but the environmental impacts affect the society at large. Your choice of food not only affects your health but also how the land and the natural environment will be managed. The matter of health is a concern for all and not yours alone. We cannot separate personal and planetary health as they affect each other. If we are healthy, the earth will be healthy. When the earth is healthy, we will be healthy.

The food revolution is taking place in varying degrees in different regions in the world, providing better health to people and creating a happier, more peaceful and harmonious world. Make a wise choice today. Things do change in unexpected ways and life can take us through amazing experiences. It could begin with just choosing to eat for good health.

May all be loved. May all be healthy. May all have compassion.
