On Healthy Living : Start By Looking Into the Grub You Stuff In Your Mouth

 Lunch. Yum or Yuck?

Some of my officemates saw me preparing lunch a few days ago and almost fell of their seats when they saw I was actually preparing salad - herbivore food. They immediately think something is wrong with me, one even putting a hand over my head to check if I had a fever. Another even commented that I must be undergoing through terrible amounts of stress that I’m actually going bonkers and being overly dramatic with the food I take. I just laughed it off. Because really, I’m just starting to look after my physical well-being and all. Best way to start is by looking into the kinds of grub I stuff in my mouth. And hey, preparing a tupperware-full of salad is fun!

Health is Wealth, people. Seriously. Money can’t buy you your life back when you’re bedridden and writhing in pain due to diabetes or liver problems. I tend to stay away from all of that. I’ve had enough relatives who suffered from these health problems and it’s only smart that I learn a thing or two from their experiences. Food nowadays are just full of (glorious) fat and rich with (heavenly) sugar. And I haven’t even started with the street foods full of carcinogens and hepatitis-B. Yes, I sound like a health-conscious party pooper, I know. But hey, I’m not the one with with the fat aorta. 

Don’t get me wrong though. I still love liempo, isaw and all that awesome “unhealthy” food selection. I still have copious amounts of lechon from time to time. But I guess the key phrase here is “from time to time”. So if I’m going to do the math (complete with equations and all that *shiver* math symbols), it would appear like this:

[(healthy food x 2) + (unhealthy food x 1)] > (unhealthy food x 2)

Yes, I am a nerd. A lousy one. LOL.

So with that, I leave you be to contemplate on what you’ll have for dinner tonight. Eat your greens, kids.
