B: What does a healthy and wealthy life style mean to you?
(physically, emotionally, and spiritually)
A: For me it’s waking up in the morning, looking in the
mirror and feeling happy with myself, being comfortable in
my own skin. It’s also being able to sleep peacefully. I always
avoid holding grudges against someone because I believe it
affects me emotionally.
B:
How do you achieve that?

“ Looking in
the mirror
and feeling
happy with
myself, being
comfortable in
my own skin.”
“First of all, I am careful about what I eat. I always
make sure not to eat more calories than I use. I feel this
is essential. Also, I try to do a lot of sport. I love jogging,
but if you’re not comfortable with running, there are other
alternatives such as swimming, dancing, floor exercises, or
playing football. The most important is to find something
you enjoy doing because the moment it starts looking like
work, you’ll hate it and stop doing it. Second, smile and
laugh a lot! Being healthy outside is as important as being
heathy inside. It reduces likelihood of having wrinkles. Plus,
when you smile, people feel more comfortable talking to you.
Finally, don’t hold grudges, be nice to people. Even though
many do not deserve it, just be nice because it’s healthy. If
you have nothing nice to say, just don’t say anything. When
I’m upset with someone, I feel like I’m constipated. Don’t
allow people to pollute your inner being just because they’re
being annoying.
Also, be careful with the snacks you eat. For instance, I love
ice cream, and I know eating it often isn’t the best for me. So
I look for heathier option. Whenever I feel the urge to eat ice
cream, I go buy yoghurt. So instead of buying chocolate, you
could buy a granular bar. There is always a healthier option.
Discipline plays a great role as well. It does not mean I don’t
eat junk food. I love pizza. But whenever I eat junk food, I
make sure I do extra exercise to balance it out.”
