Why we may not be healthy savvy?

Do you realize health is sometimes a gathering tinggy? When we meet someone, it could be a friend or a colleague, one of the topic could just be about health.
During that conversation, we might discuss about the effects of modern medicine right to traditional ways of doing things. Like yesterday when I was having lunch, this guy was telling me all the medication that he has been taking to combat his diabetes and then he also gave me advice on the traditional leaves that can help as well.
During that conversation it striked me that normally we Malaysian then to have incomplete information on something. Well me have some knowledge about health & fitness, but sometimes we still don't know enough. This could probably due to lack of awareness on the subject or that we make a conclusion too fast early on.
I know that we are creatures of certainty and therefore we need to get answers to the questions that lingers in our minds however there is also something call development, that is taking time to really understand the cost and effect of ones lifestyle and not finding a quick fix method to all the problems. The challenge is that if you get the right answer, then it's fine, what if your answers are wrong and you use them to make decisions about your health? No wonder we have problems along the way.
My suggestion would be that take time to develop yourself and just don't be thinking about quick fix approaches on everything.
The next question then would be, are you health savvy?

BMV- your common sense guide

We humans are creatures of certainty. We want as much certainty in our lives that sometimes we just loose the ability to make sound decisions thru common sense.
It's simple to make decisions thru common sense. Generally it's based on logic.
Here is a logic and good common sense guide for you to maintain your weight and stay healthy.
There are 3 parts to it. Summed up as BMV. B for BALANCE, M for MODERATE, and V for VARIETY.
When making a choice, look for ways of making it balance. Balance between carbs, protein and fat or balance between meat and vegetables.
Also, go moderate on it as well. Don't overeat or over consume any food groups. If you think you have had to much for noon, think of going less for dinner.
Finally, having the same thing over and over again can bore you so think of having variety of foods. Having different options makes living more fun.
So next time you need common sense, use BMV.
