Life can be lived in a more abundant way or in a more difficult way due to complications of health. Our health is a compilations of genes and the choices we make. Having a healthy
lifestyle, which includes both eating healthy and physical activity, is essential to
life although many Americans struggle with this goal. It is very
important to have the best of health so you can live a full life without
many sicknesses or limitations. A healthy diet is important although many people do not realize
that what goes in the body is fuel.
Putting “bad” fuel into and engine
is almost considered a sin because we need our vehicles
to run for a very long time and the vehicles take us where we need to
go.
It should be the same for our bodies, however the same importance is
not attributed to our bodies. Bad fuel or dieting includes not eating
enough, not eating enough of the right things and overeating, etc.
Lacking particular vitamins and nutrients put up a block in our overall
health as well. If we choose to eat smarter and lead an active
lifestyle, our bodies will “thank” us by breaking down or attracting different diseases. Proper
nutrition is definitely rewarding and allows you the time and ability to
see a wonderful life and enjoy your loved ones. Many African Americans
suffer from sugar diabetes especially in the more unfortunate
families. “Healthy foods cost more than the unhealthy foods (Carthron, D., Johnson, T., Hubbart, T., Strickland, C., & Nance, K. 2010)”
and in a less fortunate home the caregiver may not have the choice of
choosing smarter. Foods are a big part in a healthy lifestyle and this
lifestyle should be made affordable to everyone everywhere.
