HEALTHY LIFE

Recently, many people still don’t care about their healthy, especially teenagers. Incurred diseases like diabetes, obesity, cholesterol, lung cancer and high blood preassure among the teenagers. However, it’s quite shocking that teenagers around the world got such diseases which not supposed they got like that.

Well things like that make me feel upset. The lack of awareness among teenagers about healthy is the main problem. They still believe that healthy life is difficult, inconvenience and wasting time. So they don’t do exercise at all in their daily activities.

Secondly, influence from outside. There are many fast food restaurants out there which the food is not good for our body. Well, it is satisfied one’s hunger, but there’s no nutrition at all. The only one contained inside the food is fat. Fat makes cholesterol and obesity if you consume it too much. Apart from fast food is cigarette. Cigarette in teenage world is like a life style. But that’s all wrong. Many cigarette factories in the world especially in Indonesia. They sell cigarette with low price so every teenagers could easily buy. There are many dangerous substances contained in cigarette. It is fun, but it is like burning your money with no reason. Infact, cigarette could speed up you to death and cause disease like lung cancer.

The last one is they don’t live at certain intervals. The time for working and rest is not balance. The lack time for resting can cause stress. Stress can affect our physical health, like irregular food patern. If things are going on like that, our body couldn’t get the proper nutrition the body needs.

So from now on, we have to do a healthy life to prevent such diseases caused by activities mentioned above. Preventing is better and cheaper than curing. Raise our awareness about health, step away from eating fast food and smoking cigarettes and start live at certain intervals (balancing working and rest time). The last one is do some exercise. Take just about minimum 10 minutes from our whole day time to do some exercise like jogging or fitness. If you too busy to do that, just do walking. Walking is very simple exercise. Maybe it means nothing awhile. But if you do it continuously every day, it would be very meaningful for our health and life in the next days.
