3 February 2010. I was about to go jogging and met three friends on the way. Below was the conversation between MO and Lim (myself) while the other two friends just listened and smiled.
MO: You look older.
Lim: How much older? I have just passed the age of 55. The good thing is I am in good health.
MO: I am also in good health.
Lim: When was the last time you visited the clinic for treatment?
MO: Once in 2009. As far as I can remember, I hardly took any medical leave in the last 22 years of working.
Lim: There must be something good we can learn from you. Are there any special methods of taking care of your health?
MO: No, I just practice the normal eating habit. I take meat but I do not fall ill.
Lim: You must have a good control over your meat consumption.
The conversation was switched to another topic as I did not want to let the issue of eating habit (a personal choice) jeopardizes our good relationship. I encourage others to reduce meat consumption to attain good health but they do not have to follow my eating habit if they do not wish to.
After all, health is a matter of choice.
Best health to all.
