Now about diets

airiefairieAs an addendum to this post, I should say that I am myself partly vegetarian (I occasionally eat chicken and dairy products), and not for moral reasons but for health/diet reasons. I wouldn't go that far as to say that meat should be completely abandoned because it does indeed provide some compounds which no other supplement could provide in a natural, non-synthetic way. However I do agree that people would do good to themselves if they think about adjusting their diets.
But the one thing many are neglecting is the issue with chaotic daily routine and fast lifestyle. There are two more problems that we should talk about more often than we are:
- Irregular eating habits. When I say 'diet' I do not mean self-deprivation of food, or certain foods. I am rather talking about a regular eating schedule which is essential. There are some certain basic principles of eating throughout the day, like what is best to be eaten in the morning, during the day and in the evening, and in what quantities.
- Eating slowly. Fast food is a very bad thing. I understand that people's lifestyles are such that they demand fast eating, but this could be even more devastating for the health than eating more than the body requires.
And of course I shouldn't miss to mention movement. Today most of us sit on a chair for most of the day, then return home and sit on a sofa, then go into a bed. This something worth thinking about.

Date: 2011-05-25 05:39 pm (UTC)i meant to say that Eating Fast is what annoys me {oops}.
Oh and my father does this all the time...then, he wonders why he gets indigestion so shortly thereafter - H E L L O.
Also, not to seem racist/prejudice/whatever, but I have noticed that many Asians eat rather quickly. I have noticed this of Taiwanese, Chinese, Filipino and Vietnamese friends and their families (and i swear on my life i'm not stereotyping). Whilst the Japanese and Hmong eat more slowly on average.
