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?

Get Moving!
