Health is a Choice

Many just go about daily lives living to eat, facing illness like tossing a coin. It's a contraditing fact that our bodies are the most amazing machines & we are dying everyday. Billions of cells die & replaced every second. Our bodies are never at rest, it's a struggle just to stay alive, & yet battle the onslaught of invading pollutants both taken in voluntarily & involuntarily.
What exactly are we consuming? Carbohydrates, protein & fats. Minerals & Vitamins? Nah, the soil now is not as fertile as it was decades ago, just like us compared to our forefathers. Vegetation & animals are not supplied with the required minerals & vitamins, how do we expect to obtain enough from them. People go about their lives eating as they wish & when they fall sick, they simply blame it on the weather, low body resistance or from someone else. Then they pass it on... with a sneeze or a handshake.
Human beings have no choice but to rely on supplements. That might raise a few hairs & voices shouting natural. But what is natural nowadays. So listen to your mum, eat your vitamins, but tell her to choose them well first.
With a healthy livestyle, supplements & exercise, we're protecting, enhancing ourselves & those around us. We either choose to be well or choose to be sick. It's up to ourselves to upkeep our physical well-being. We have to love ourselves before we can love others.
