We are getting poorer in health

If you trust those government released figures, here's one for you concerning the health of us Malaysians. It says that over 5,500 of us die every year because lifestyle diseases linked to heart, kidney and lung. Diabetes is also on the rise too. Well, take it or not, it should still serve as a grim warning that we should take health seriously as it is a treasure that can't be bought even if you have billions of ringgits. I have many friends who just don't care. They eat, drink and smoke in a carefree way.

Our lifestyle is getting better in this country and the food we eat most of the time is good in taste but poor in nutritions. Plus the lack of exercise among us is worsening the health of us too. I would like to live longer but without being ladden with wretching diseases.

I care about physical and spiritual health.
