It wouldn’t be a strange thing anymore if everyone wants to have a good health for their bodies. Health is a basic thing for starting various activities. With a proportional body, exercise, good nutrition and adequate rest then it is not just healthy, but fit and ideal body condition. But the question is, during this instant era, with the fast foods that are intensively developed in Indonesia as well as lack of spare time, would we able to implement a healthy lifestyle?
The truth today is that 7 of 10 people in the world are suffering from overweight or obese. The cause of obesity is very diverse. Obesity is not caused by a single factor. These factors could be varies, ranging from hormone problems, heredity, lifestyle, eating pattern, social conditions, economic and even cultural. Heredity is the smallest contributor of the factors that are mentioned above. People who are too fat are having a set of habits that make them fat. Overeating is a consequence of these habits.
If we are able to break these habits, then our weight could be lower without even counting the calories, without hunger or feeling guilty. Talking about nutrition that is related to weight control and health, can’t be separated from anthropology, cultural, technological developments, biomolecular and medical science. The food industry is no longer needs to refer to ‘what is truly of the human’s food’, but what things that can be produced, sold, become a commodity, providing a profit, become a favorite for everyone because its taste.
Therefore, it is so ridiculous when people try to maintain the bone density and the health of their teeth by drinking some powder that is believed to have a high calcium, while to add its taste, the powder was added with sugar. Whereas even the nutritional science is realize that sugar inhibits the absorption of calcium, even the sugar can accelerate the bone scarcity!
