Here's a little guide for you.
We all know about the food pyramid, right?
Oops, wrong one..
-the food pyramid! As you probably know, the food pyramid itself is a simple guide to proper nutrion and health. It's not hard to understand at all! It clearly states the amount you should eat of each food group in simple words.
Are you thinking that what the food pyramid asks you to eat is boring? That's it's all stuff like oatmeals, cereal bars, wheat, and green grass? I used to think that too, but look again!
Towards the top of the food pyramid, it does say that you can get some meat and sweets to eat. Just be careful of the amount you take in! A mouthful of fries is NOT sparingly!
Of course, as the food pyramid says, you should get some fruits as well. Make sure you're getting you're proper fruits and not too much of ones like this!
Besides just eating right, there are some other things you should do.
This might sound hypocritical coming from me, but you shouldn't be lazing in front of your computer the whole day! Same goes for watching TV.
Get out, and get some exercise. If you don't have any park accessible to you, run up and down some stairs or all around your house. You'd look like an idiot, but that's what you get for not taking the effort to find a park. Running up escalators do NOT count! Unless you're running up the wrong side though.. Which you probably shouldn't be doing.
If you must stay at home, open up some windows and get some fresh air. I don't mean the windows you find here, mind you.
Too lazy to get some exercise? Well, guys, you're gonna have to build up those muscles if you wanna please the ladies. Don't want to be told by girls that you're too flabby or thin for their liking, aye? Just like in this video..
And ladies, I don't think you want to end up like this..
The guys think it's scary. Trust me.
Now, I'm not saying that your outer look defines it all, but having a good physique does help attract members of the opposite gender.
But more than just attracting the opposite sex, eating healthily keeps you.. well, healthy. And being healthy gives you a higher chance of living longer. Not only do you get to live longer, you get to live longer and do things other old people can't!
So, it's a simple choice you have to make. Just take a little effort to change your diet (change it slowly if you can't change it immediately) and get a little exercise, or keep to unhealthy ways and deteriorate faster.
The choice is yours- what do you choose?
Come on, give the delicious banana a chance. Live healthy!
BTW- if you're already living a healthy life, good job! Here's a cookie.
