The Strive for Being Healthy


I just got my results for my general check up last week. I praise God that all the other major diseases turned out to be negative. But there is one very 'surprising' find during that test. My blood test shows that I have a high level of cholesterol. Woah! I never expected to have this finding at this age. I only thought old people has this problem. But I guess this serves as a warning for me to be really mindful of my food intake. I admit, I eat a lot of meats, oil, processed food since I especially love fastfood. So, I guess it's about time for me to slowly say "no" to all these things.

Who know, only then I'll lose all these excess fats and weight. Now my primary aim in watching my food is not lose weight but to be healthy and avoid heart problems in the future. I guess, only then I won't binge but slowly change my eating habits until eating healthy food, fruits and veggies becomes a part of my lifestyle. Oh, I have to do this!

No wonder, my reading for the past days was about,our bodies being the temple of the Holy Spirit.. so, I better take care of it to glorify God further. Wow, I never saw this clearly than now. Okay, this marks the beginning of a new healthy me.. I have to start now... So, my friends if you see me lavishly enjoying a Big Mac meal with LArge Fries and Coke.. please do remind me to take care of my health. hehehe!

Welcome to adulthood! I found out I had gallbladder stones at the age of 30, and that I had hypercholesterolemia pud. I had no symptoms baya. Buti na lang the stones dissolved with the help of medicines kay my doctor suggested I undergo surgery. Naku po! But I'm asymptomatic! I negotiated na I'll observe it muna and see if mawala sa meds...buti naman and it did dissolve! Anyway, Love, that is why at the age of 30...me and my husband decided to get ourselves Life Insurance for both of us because lifestyle-related diseases usually begin at our age. Do not negotiate with your health. Ikaw din...sige ka!
