Health lies on your plate<\/p>\n
I refer to Dumilah Ayuningtyas' \"Health reform essential for
\nhospitals' survival\" (The Jakarta Post, Dec. 3, 1998). I am
\nparticularly impressed by the statement: \"Under the new paradigm,
\nmedical services will be geared toward helping people become
\nhealthier rather than just curing certain illnesses. A person who
\nis not actually ill is not automatically healthy.\"<\/p>\n
To maintain health, we must be more prudent with our daily
\nfood and lifestyle, particularly during this monetary crisis in
\nwhich medical costs have been skyrocketing. Here's why.<\/p>\n
First, when I saw my doctor at the local clinic, I noticed the
\ndoctor's wise words Health is not everything, but without health
\neverything is meaningless. Hence we should always take care of
\nour health. Second, food is the major factor that shapes our
\nhealth, as pointed out by Jean Carper in her book Food -- your
\nmiracle medicine. Food often becomes one of the main causes of
\nour ailments. This is also in line with what doctors say: \"You
\nare what you eat.\"<\/p>\n
Third, in their book Fit for Life, Harvey and Marilyn Diamond
\nsay the greatest threat to your and your children's survival is
\nnot the terrible nuclear weapon, but what your are going to eat
\nfrom your dinner plate tonight. They also suggest the best way to
\nkeep ourselves healthy is by avoiding eating anything but juice
\nand fruits until noon.<\/p>\n
