When faced with the question of weighing the benefits of a balanced healthy diet over nutritional compromises of a crash diet I am transported back into time during my school days where our teacher used to tell us how important it is to study every day just as we eat our food every day. As we cannot eat a week’s food in one instance or a single meal and go without meals for the rest of the week similarly we must study everyday otherwise it would not be possible to pass the annual exams with good marks if we leave all our studies to be completed at the last minute during the exam days. The reverse analogy applies to our life as well that is it is very important to eat a healthy, balanced diet full of healthy and nutritious ingredients. Other wise going on a crash diet is just like not studying throughout the year and opening the books just at the exam time.
In the case of exams one can appear the next year of one fails but when it comes to our health our body is like a complex machine which does not come with replacement parts. If it begins to fail than we have a very difficult time recovering. Even though our body has a self-repairing mechanism but this is only till we provide it with healthy nutrients to build it self up. When we burden it with junk food and over indulgence it leads to doing work like an overburdened machine. Then going on a crash diet is just like waking up before the exams and then spending sleepless days and nights trying to study for a test. Just like this sleepless study session that puts the body and mind to tremendous strain. So my argument comes down to a basic fact that when we drive a car we ensure that we put the right fuel into its tank and get it serviced regularly. This ensures that the car remains functional and operates without causing any trouble for a long period of time. On
the other hand if you put any fuel in the car it is very likely that the car will end up in the garage and need an overhaul. This is similar to not eating the right diet and when an emergency arises then go for a crash diet. The proper usage of the car as described in the first situation is akin to having correct diet and healthy food as a daily routine. As modern day living puts a lot of stress on our bodies we should use naturally occurring products like honey on a daily basis. It boosts our immunity and increases our immunity to fight diseases .It has antiseptic properties that are very helpful for the bodies. A spoon of honey taken in the morning with warm water helps aid manage weight. Honey aids digestion and is a very good sugar substitute. There are so many recipes that use honey and they give us a good opportunity of incorporating them in our daily food.
