Taste Buds Vs Health

Well Monika I can say one think - you are one step ahead - you at least thought of doing something, be it writing down only. Very well written.

 

Uoh khana hi kya, jo tasty na ho? Pehle khana, baadme rona! On a serious note, I think you can drive in 5th gear (eat and drink anything) up to 30 years of age. From 30 to 40, you can drive in 4th gear. But above 40, you must be careful, nehi to traffic police (read diseases) paakar lega.

 

I agree with you Monika !
But I disagree with @Tamrakshar here . healthy eating habits must be cultivated from childhood. It’s ok to indulge once in a while but not wait until one is in their , 30’s and 40’s to eat right.
On a side note ,think it is maha paap to only eat one samosa !

 

Yes.

Maybe we were those troublesome demons from thousands of years ago who troubled all the deities we now worship as Gods

Sometimes, unfavorable circumstances force us to eat for health only.

Living with someone who cannot enjoy pizza, dosa, rice, curd.

Also not having time to exercises forces one to re-evaluate food choices. Even dried fruits are something to be avoided except for once in a while.

And of course, being away from people who enjoy these foods (i.e. some people attract more friends than others)

Food, folks, and fun.

What better way to enjoy such food with people who truly value your company.

Of course there is a trade off. If you have lot of friends who ask to hang out with you and enjoy junk food, you have to draw the line somewhere

Morning: Eat like King
Lunch: Eat like Prince
Night: Eat like Pauper

That is true. Only if a person is compelled to have this diet due to external circumstance, then they eat this way.

Of course, one has to find comfort in their discomfort, i.e. Starbucks, Cinnamon Powder, Multicolored Salad, Fried Egg.

And look at food as fuel.

People are naturally beautiful ---- but we forgot how to eat naturally, hence we look how we look.

See picture of people from olden days and now. Who is naturally beautiful and handsome?

Yes and no.

I know in my Dad's case, it I would have been a little more mature 10 years, his most severe health issue would have been avoided. Many times Doctors get patients from poorer neighborhoods and are not scared to try risky treatments because they know (1) patient is less likely to sue for malpractice (2) insurance will handsomly reimburse them

If I would have been mature, and understood, and spoken up, maybe certain things would have been avoided.


There is only so much a kid can do to help aging parent. Sometimes I think I will die before my Dad because things have gotten to stressful for me. I know he is suffering, I am trying to find proper doctor. At the same time we are wrestling other demons, i.e. financial

Health is Wealth
Money is to protect from Bad times.

If I had Billions and Billions, I'd hire a team of Doctors to take care of only my Dad and many of his issues can be resolved.

 

Monika....o my darling!
Samosa...ab toh khaaja...saare diet chodhke khaaja....kal kya hoga koi na jaane...,aaj tu maze se rehna...hah.hah.haha..

Monika, on a serious note 10 on 10 for your healthy thoughts. As Sandy says, healthy eating habits should be cultivated from childhood. These days youngsters in thirties are suffering from diabetes, BP etc. Lekin kya kare...Dil hain ki maanta nahi .Maybe you can cheat once a way Jeeb bhi khush; paet bhi khush
