Health Conscious

I have been living in Singapore for almost a year now and I noticed that majority of the residents are health conscious. When I go to the supermarkets, most of the cold cuts no longer have the skin part. Yes, the yummy part is missing. hehe. I rarely see it here.

If I go to the beverages section, I see a lot of tea and flower-flavored drinks. One combo is an apple and aloe extract juice.  Another, crysanthemum tea. Whew! I admire them for being able to drink such. I simply cannot. Maybe it is why they live a very good life.

In the morning, I often see group of elders doing taichi and others jogging. And in most eateries (hawker as what they call it), most elders still work as service crews. I applaud their stamina for such activities because back home in the Philippines, I rarely see elders do same thing. They would prefer a non-extrenous activity such as gardening or reading.

I think that no matter where we are and what other people would say, it is solely our decision on how to make ourselves worth living for. We should learn to be conscious of our healths for our own self-fulfillment and to others.
