In Pursuit Of A Healthy Lifestyle

I am Philemon Foo. Phil for short. Today, health is a matter of real concern. The chase for industrialization status of our country (Malaysia) has created a terribly unhealthy living environment. The side effects of pursuing industrialization are pollution to the environment, stress, unhealthy life styles, etc. etc.

Just look at the amount of smokers today. Even children have taken up the habit of smoking. Take a look at the Malaysian Nightlife. Drugs like ecstasy pills are a menace. Drunk driving has claimed many lives.

Our Malaysian air is so polluted with gases & fumes from vehicles, factories, etc. Even birds are dying of lung cancer (just kidding but they may actually). Our water is extremely dirty. Water flowing out of our taps is sometimes dark brown in color. Water filters are a must these days. Our water may not be laden with deadly bacteria that will kill you now, but there are bacteria in our water that will course disease in the long run.

Even the food we eat is unhealthy. Fast food, processed food, oily food, starchy food, etc. Vegetables are sprayed with insecticide (oil based so that the rain doesn’t wash it away), food cooked in restaurants are oily (reused oil causes cancer), processed food & fast food are the “in thing” today.

The results; so called old age diseases are now afflicting younger people, premature deaths, rising statistics of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, & now, obesity, mental illness, & also crime. Diabetes type 2 (known as adult onset diabetes) are afflicting children as young as 14 years of age. There are now heart attack cases, killing people below 30 years of age.
