Mom E-votional (Infographic) : Healthy Life Expectancy

Life Expectancy Eczema Blues
Quality of life matters – we want to live longer, but not in sickness (or itchiness for that matter!)

I read about HALE – Healthy Life Expectancy in Dr David Katz’ book Disease Proof and it’s a simple truth presented – we are living longer, but sicker. Above is the HALE of United States, but you can always access this page on World Health Organization to find out the life expectancy of your country. For instance, in Singapore:

From 1990 to 2012, men are living longer from 73 to 80 and women from 78 to 85 (we Singaporeans live longer than our friends in US). Of these years, men spend 6 years in sickness and women spend 8 years in sickness.

Quality of life matters.

Eczema, itch takes a little of that away, chronic diseases take a lot more of life away. Our health care system is built on treating sickness but we ought to take preventive steps instead. Last week devotional brings the importance of diet, this week, look at your loved ones and yourself, and be determined to live good, long lives, not sick ones.

Deuteronomy 5:33

You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.

God, you desire for us to live long and well. Help us in our busyness to treasure our body and care for it, amen!

Live Long, Healthy Life

Mom E-votional (Infographic): Our Plate Matters to Our Body

Infographic Health Eating Food Label
EczemaBlues.com 1st Infographic! and what else is worth spending time on other than our food!

I’ve been reading up on food (Dr David Katz’ Disease Proof) and distilled the main points in the above infographic. I started being aware of what I eat when I set out to ‘worship God with my body/strength’ and I thought how to have strength without the right foods. Eczema/not, allergy/not, what we put on our plate matters to our body and the DECISION IS YOURS to make!

Bible verse:

Mark 12:30  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength

God, it’s not easy to eat right all the time!

Takeaway is easy, fast food is fast.

Busy mom and dad, one meal doesn’t kill right?

Help us though to love you God, love the body we have,

love our spouse, our kid,

love enough to make it a point to eat healthy,

putting nutrition NOT junk in our mouth.

Bon Appetit, Lord!

Noone can Force-Feed us, it’s Our Responsibility
