Healthier Life Pledge

*this is not advertisement, btw. I want to convert this blog to a healthy blog kinda thing.. so that explains it*

I want to have a healthier lifestyle (believe it or not).
Well, I want to get more toned in the abs and generally healthier..

Why?

That is because, being in a healthy weight doesn't really mean you are completely safe from heart attack and other cholesterol-related diseases. Yes, that is true.

All the time, I feel safe because although I consume lots and lots and lots of junk food, ice creams, food with so much carbs and fats and sugar, I stay at the healthy weight which is 46 - 48 kg (and I am 157 so that makes my weight ideal). Fine, if u actually see me, you will think I am fat, that is my puppy fat accumulating at my face area and generally my heart-shaped face will cause you to think so. But believe me, with all the food indulgence, I do not really put on weight. (and sadly though, I have constipation, thus my fat stomach, I defecate less than 3x a week, FML).

BUT.
someone knowledgeable told me that, whether you're skinny or not doesn't determine your cholesterol level. Well, of course someone with more body fat percentage will have more risk but you know, it's just that I, too have become conscious about what I eat.

So, I ponder about my diet and figured out, I should do several things I listed below...

1. DRINK MORE WATER. hey, this is the easiest to forget. really. I am not even lying.

2. TO REPLACE RICE WITH OATMEAL FOR DINNER. "the soluble fiber in Quaker Oats can help lower cholesterol, which has obvious benefits for the heart" --> quoted from quaker oat's website

3. TO EAT MORE FRUITS. i might get more strawberries to make myself happy :)) I love strawberries and generally other sour fruits.

4. TO NEVER FORGET  TO DRINK MILK. have i told u something? my sister, 21 years old is told that one of her bone is in stage somewhat near to osteoporosis :!! scary, no. We have to get sufficient calcium. even if we're no longer in growing stage.


So, there you go my pledge. i had started all of them, of course, with no remarkable success in no. 1 and no. 3 (I am generally quite lazy)..

You are what you eat,
Stay yummylicious :)
