Do you take care of your health?

Recently I had lunch with a good friend who is a food lover, she likes to eat a lot of things including junk food… just like me, so we always like to go out to eat, one of our favourite activities :)  However, during this particular lunch, I was surprised to see her being very particular about the food she ate, she chose healthier food & ate in moderation which is quite unlike her. Then I found out that it is because she is pregnant! She shared with me something that made me pause & ponder… She said during these 2 months after she knew that she is pregnant, she has become more aware of the food that she eats, her living habits etc as there is a baby inside her & she needs to take care of not only herself but also this little human beings inside her now. As a mother, her love towards the baby supercedes her love towards food & even herself! It started me thinking about friends & students around me, how many of us really take care of our health? Whenever our loved ones asked us to eat more healthily, live more healthily, how many of us find them ’naggy’? How many of us think that we are “mature” enough to know better? This body that we have is given by our parents, whom have loved us since we were just a ‘seed’, our mothers have to take extra care, to control their diets, to provide the best nutritions so that we can come out to be healthy. Yet not all of us treausre this ’gift’ from our parents… The next time that our loved ones concern about our well-beings, let us say thanks to them as it is a blessing that we have someone who love us :)  Coaches & students, let’s us all learn to take care of our health :)
