| Dancing is a very good form of exercise. |
"Health First!" That's my motto since I was a kid. Now, I'm on my middle age, and I seldom visit a doctor for medical treatment. My height is 5' 2" and I was able to maintain my body weight at a maximum of 52 kgs. I can still hike the mountains of Sagada in Mountain Province, and do hard work as well. Unlike most of my peers, I have no pains cause by arthritis nor gout.
- I kept on reading about health. I am most interested in what can help maintain good health and those literature that can bring harm to health.
- If possible, I eat healthy foods such as vegetables, fish, lean meat and fruits. We go to Fast Food Restaurants only occasionally.
- I ate only the right amount of food. As observed, while I was younger, the quantity of food intake did not manifest on my belly, however, as I grow older, an excess in the quantity of my food intake also increases the size of my waistline.
- Walking is my best exercise. Whenever I had the opportunity, I walk. Other forms of exercise, like dancing, also helped.me.
- I preferred natural medicines like herbal medicines, reflexology and other natural treatment. On my yard, I planted herbs like Basil, Tarragon, Lagundi and others that can remedy common ailments. I also studied several types of massage, not only to help myself but my family and friends as well.
- I tried to minimize stress. We can never tell the effect of stress in our mind and body. In most cases, however, it is NOT beneficial to our health. So, I just do what I can and push out of my mind those things which were beyond my control.
- Proper sleeping habit was also a factor.
- Lastly, I believe that a positive attitude brings corresponding effect to health.
In all my decisions, I put health on top of my priority. I believe that our body is like a machine with unique parts. It needs proper maintenance to keep all its parts function on its best. A problem on one part will affect our activities. Health first and enjoy life!
