Health is wealth? or wealth is health?

by Arlyn Amboy

I know it’s a cliché but it’s absolutely true! That “health is wealth.” But these days you have to be wealthy to be healthy, in fact there are a lot of products in the market right now that promise longer life; healthier body and stuff like that. Some are made from berries, barleys, fruits, vegetables, crops, seeds and what not. But the thing is these stuff are too pricey to keep as mainstay in our necessity list. But don’t fret! You don’t actually have to spend a lot to be fit and healthy! And you might actually find them in your pantry!
Just like garlic. It is rich in antioxidants that help to protect the body against damaging "free radicals". It also helps prevent atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease, as well as reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke. Just add them to your favorite meal everyday and you can enjoy your social service benefits longer!
Another is the bell pepper it actually has 7x more vitamin C than orange! And the riper it is the higher the vitamin content! It’s also rich in vitamin A for good eyesight.
Lastly ginger, it boosts our immune system and may also inhibit the growth of human colorectal cancer cells.
Feeling good is looking good! Don’t also forget to always eat healthy foods! Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins; minerals and fiber which is good for digestion thus weight control. Hydrate yourself every now and then, and engage yourself in sports. It’ll make your body stronger and also keep you fit. Finally, have a positive outlook in life! Always smile so that you don’t just make yourself feel good, you can also make someone else’s day complete.
Remember that the only way to make things right is to live as long and as well as we possibly can!
