Everyone is a shaper of their own life. We all have a choice, right? Whether we will choose the path that might lead us to healthy lives, or we opt for the one that is tastier, but may definitely ruin our existence, it is all a matter of choice. Being surrounded by a lot of fast food places, having to work long hours, thus not being able to cook at home, is something people are nowadays being surrounded with. Add to that a lot of stress that each and every one of us encounter from the moment they wake up to the moment they set their weary heads on the pillow at night, and you get a disaster. An ultimate sponge for calories - that is what our body is nowadays. We would rather sit in our cars, than walk, either to work or just down town. People are getting more and more irresponsible, lazy, and the health issue is there only when they are struck with a disease. Then, most of them pray to God to get well, etc. But, we have to realise where our lives are heading, before we actually stray from the right path.
Even when I used to work long hours, I would make sure I cooked some dinner at home, and I took it with me to work, eventually eating it there on my break, rather than buying some fast food thing filled with additives.
Everything is a choice.
Even if you suffer from some disease that puts some weight on you, you can still try to get away from fast food, and turn to raw diet, for instance. Life is only one, and the more obese one is, the more tha one is prone to disease!
