Well, last week our personal health and fitness was the hot topic between me and my friend. My friend is just over 200 Pounds and love to eat so called the best food “ the junk food”.
He was complaining about how he has become the victim of high cholesterol level, high blood pressure and diabetes. Suddenly an article clicked in my mind which I read couple of days ago. I shared with him the differences between the food and activities what we eat and do now-a-days and the food and activities what our parents and their parents used to eat and do to maintain their health and fitness
I thought let’s share with you. I have changed a bit to make it more realistic. It is bit fun but there are many hidden tips and lessons about our food change that made us obese and lazy. This article is for junk food lovers and can be read by non-lovers too ?.
Just read it easy and take it easy…. Good luck…
One friend was talking to his friend about why he cannot maintain his personal health and fitness. Why our forefathers or parents were more fit than we are. What is wrong with our food? Why we are becoming overweight? Why and why….
Our forefathers grew broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green / yellow and red vegetables of all kinds on the earth. so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.
But now we have Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. Moreover, they ask “You want chocolate with that?” and Man says, “Yes!” and Woman says, “add some sprinkles on it”.
Result: They gained 10 pounds
Forefathers used to use the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And now-a-days they brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them.
Result: Woman went from size 6 to size 14
Forefathers used, “Fresh green salad.” And now “Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side”.
Result: Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast (meal).
Forefathers used heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them. And now they brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter.
Result: Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof
They used a light, fluffy white cake, named it “Angel Food Cake,” and said, “It is good.” Now-a-days we created chocolate cake and named it “Devil’s Food.”
Forefathers used to bring forth running shoes so that their children might lose those extra pounds. Now we gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels.
Result: Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds
Then they brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And now we peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them.
Result: Man gained pounds
Forefathers then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And now we created McDonald’s and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, “You want fries with that?” And Man replied, “Yes! And super size them!” they also said, “It is good.”
Result: Man went into cardiac arrest
After research and development, they created quadruple bypass surgery and we created HMOs.
Thought for the day …..
There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than On Alzheimer’s research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. If you don’t tell five friends right away to read this, there will be five fewer people laughing in the world.
