Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man how to teach others to fish, and you feed many many people forever.

Sicko...

Well, since I've start the roll with documentaries I've watched, why don't I share another documentaries that I'd love you yo watch as well? Few months ago I borrowed the DVD "Sicko" from the library. It's about the healthcare system in the U.S. and other countries. Although this documentary should be taken with a pinch of salt, it still will make your heart wrench.

What would happen if the medicine created not to heal you, but to keep you alive and depend on the drugs? What would happen if the healthcare system is designed not to get people healthy, but to squeeze more money for the corporations? Isn't it weird that the volunteers helping during the 9/11 actually unable to get any health benefit resulted from their work while the terror suspect held in Guantanamo Bay receive full health benefit?

Let's start from the root. Illness happen from unhealthy lifestyle. Too much drugs, antibiotics and chemicals would eventually mutate the cells in your body. Not enough water, not enough breathing, life full of stress would induce cancer, stroke, high blood pressure and other ailments. Too much sugar and simple carbohydrate would make irregular workload for your pancreas producing insulin and eventually, causing diabetes.

To end it all, live healthy. Drink more water. (not tea, coffee, soft drink... but pure plain water) Choose healthier food. Whole grains, organics. Get out of stress. Did you know that more than 70% of today's illness mainly caused by stress? Stress causing your body system to work in unnatural cycle. Stress resulted in cancer, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and a whole load of stuffs. Get the health you deserve!

Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside
