Do you know you are killing yourself?
Yes, you and I include myself too. We are killing ourselves every minute… some of us at a faster rate than others. How are we doing this?
People who are putting on weight, who are grossly overweight are killing themselves day by day. Here they are not eating to live, but eating to die! How is this? It’s because they are eating the wrong type of food, food that lack vital nutrition such as vitamins, minerals, good fats, complex carbohydrates, etc. When you eat food that is low in nutritional value you will feel more hungry rather than satisfied and you continue to eat more. This makes you put on weight. When you put on more and more weight, you are looking at a premature death brought about by diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, strokes and some forms of cancer.
So to stop killing yourself, to live longer, you should only consume food that are nutritious and food that have negative calories. What is food with negative calories? They are food that are low in calories but require a greater amount of calories in order to be digested in your system. So if you choose negative calorie food, you will find yourself burning more calories than you consume. That will make you lose weight even as you eat and put you back on the road to good health. You live longer on a healthy diet.
Sometimes people eat because they feel depressed, or are under stress. They may even be feeling lonely, so under such an emotional state of mind, they turn to what is known as “comfort food” or junk food. Typical examples of such food are potato crisps, chocolates, sweets, sugar-coated doughnuts, cream cakes, etc. Eating such food will not only make them put on weight but also lead to obesity which will result in the deadly diseases mentioned above.
