Unfit & Unwell? Why?


Honestly, I am very fed being a fat riot. So from now on, I am going to keep myself well and fit (i know its not new year and too early for next year. Resolutions can be made any day.) Have you reached a end point when you would say "That’s it"? My day is today. Few posts from today will be regarding how I am trying to stay well and helping my poor body. What goes in determines how I feel. Yes?

Generally harmful food has to be avoided so that Mr Ugly (Fat) stays away. Have to get rid of him. Evidence shows by incorporating the friendly food. (Mind you, Junk food pretend to be friendly, err….. they are so decisive aren't they???). My first friendly food is the antioxidants, a important one as it boosts my immune system. Hmmm need them.

Antioxidants-What are these? These are molecules that inhibit a chemical reaction. (Oxidation=chemical reaction). Clinical trials have proven lack of antioxidants are risk factors to cancer, heart diseases and stroke. Got to be true then! I don’t want to be disabled before 70!. Ascorbic acid is an oxidation  reduction agent. Most red or bright coloured fruits/veg are rich in ascorbic acid aren't they?

Over the weekend shopped for some of my favourite fruits, coincidently they are good source of antioxidants. Strawberry, cherries, mango, oranges, pomergranate (nibble for telly time better than popcorn, but damn RCB is out of play off). A fruit salad as in the picture with honey on top seems a treat.


  

Filling Lunch


 My favourite  antioxidants veggies been Spinach, tomatoes,carrots, red pepper on salad or as stuffed pepper with couscous, mushrooms. Am sure i can do it,although maintaining would be a tough task,hey ho... all i have to do is think is of Mr.Ugly & You for motivation.

Wish me luck....i need it.................
