Lifestyle and Health

July 10, 2010

There are many environmental influences that have affected my lifestyle and health. I have asthma and now days the environment is not as clean and the air is polluted with many toxins that affect my lungs every day. I have to take medicine everyday to allow myself to breathe normally. I am not saying that because of the environment I have asthma, I am just implying that it makes my condition worse because the air in not clean. I am very grateful for the lifestyle that I live and the environment has played a huge role on how I have shaped my life. I enjoy many outdoor activities and have had many experiences as a child with nature. Besides having asthma I have very good health, mostly due to the part that I am very active and treat my body well. I try to stay away from all the processed food and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. The environment has been abused throughout mankind and because of this I have change my lifestyle to a more “greener” route. I try to use less water, less energy and fewer resources. I believe that if everyone starts this trend we can tremendously help out the environment. The environment has influenced the way I carry out my day to day activities, I always make sure to recycle and use alternate ways of transportation rather than always driving my car. I believe that the environment has influenced my health a lot. I am always exorcising outside, I refuse to get a gym membership because I enjoy running outside along the beach paths near my house. I have a great joy improving my health just by exorcising outside and playing various sports with my friends.
