Obesity, Who Do We Blame?

Nov 14th 2008For Information & Thoughts & Urban Living

The cases of people, even children, with obesity is rising steadily.

So who do we turn an accusing finger at?

The fast food for offering hard-to-resist deep-fried and high in calorie food offerings?

The candy and chocolate manufacturers for making their sweet offerings very much appreciated by those with sweet tooth?

The bakeshops, donuts stores, dessert and pastry chefs who continually experiment with so many yummy concoctions that are hard to resist?

Losing Some, Gaining More

Nov 6th 2008Blogging101 & For Information & Thoughts

Last week and this week had been two very relaxing weeks for me. I didn’t have to go to work so there was really no hurry. I did get to wake up early, before the sun was up for my eldest daughter who is being fetched around 5:30am by the school service.

It is important to watch what we put in our bodies. Becoming healthy does not mean one has to shell out large amounts to be able to be one. Those “lowly” green and leafy vegetables are wonderful sources of nutrients that we need to be healthy.

Backyard gardening is one answer to having fresh food. Buying reasonably priced nutritional supplements like Orovo is also a good thing.

There are so many choices when it comes to getting good drinks. There is a variety of teas available. We have yellow tea after dinner. The children have fresh lemon grass tea at night too. There are also drinks that provide nutritional supplements. Fresh coconut drink is also one drink that we like.

Even if we live in they city, we can still have these fresh produce as alternative to fast food.
