This morning while on the train, there were so many posters pasted everywhere in the train reminding us to fight diabetes...(Fyi, currently there is big campaign organised by the Health Promotion Board [HPB] to heighten diabetes awareness)..
Let me just share with you why diabetes is so damaging to our bodies....diabetes, a condition where our pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to breakdown the sugar in our blood which led to an increase level of sugar in our blood...under this condition, over prolong period will lead to glaucoma (increase pressure in the eyeball) leading to blindness, kidney failure, heart diseases (e.g. stroke) and lastly amputation as a result of gangrene...so come to think of it just one single condition can lead one to so many health problems and that is why it pays just stay trim and fit and keep diabetes at bay..especially where most of us in LC300 are above 40 years old and that put us in the high risk group especially so if one happens to be obese also.
Many of us thought that diabetes is a result of eating too much sweety stuff...but I have read somewhere this actually is a myth coz the real cause of it is overweight and being obese, as to why people have this wrong perception is that noramlly the overweight people will also have a liking of sweety stuff and this leads on to the perception that eating sweety stuff will incerease the chances of having diabetes..but this is not so.
So, maintain a healthy BMI and at least you can eliminate one single damaging health condition.
A healthy body and mind will enable us to praise and worship our God daily, better.
Have a nice day!
