Healthy Living is Easy & Dynamic!

Healthy living in Malaysia is not hard, nothing hard at all, except there are too much of invisible obstacles stack up in front of us not only due to our own mindset that exercise, sport, eating healthy food are not enjoyable and tiring, the common commercials also convincing us that you can't lead a healthy life without spending tons of money in health care services, going to gym, buy organic food, and etc. That's one common reason I know when I ask why people not willing or hesitate to practice a healthy life style.

Even being healthy in Malaysia is a challenge. Unlimited articles and books telling us to lead a healthy physical and mental life but I found it difficult to follow those principles. In my main blog, I talked about the unhealthy food & beverage strategy in Malaysia, I also mentioned that in order to eat healthy and beneficial food, you have to pay more. Organic food is one good example. If you want to go for sport, you need to pay for the gym or any sport studio unless your housing area has a garden. But the criminal rate nowadays is a huge issue so not many garden in KL & PJ are considered safe. Exercise inside the house is not so practical due to the space constraint and you need to clean your house often as a result of your exercise. Yeah it's tough to practice a healthy lifestyle but if we really gonna look for it, we can still do it.

Many advertisement and advices out there somehow make it sounds like, if you want a healthy lifestyle, you need to do the following:

• Go for gym
• Avoid all fried/oily/salty/unhealthy food
• Purchase exercise tools or equipment for workout at home
• Eat organic food
• Eat healthy meal (a.k.a expensive meal in here) every day
• Seek professionals for health and beauty services (which is super duper expensive)

While I wouldn't say all those commercials are totally fake and not effective, not everyone relying on those work after all. I was once think like what mentioned above, but it's totally different when I try to seek my own way rather than following the usual method that everyone thought that it's the "most effective" way.

Looking for healthy lifestyle in Google or other place in the internet would lead you to follow the healthy style usually in the American method, or any other country. If we seriously following that, it's probably effective because many are proven method but you need to be ready to go for gym, looking for all sorts of foods and supplement that could be rare and super expensive if you could get them in Malaysia, and practicing all kind of lifestyle that is suitable at other country but not in Malaysia, like jogging around the housing area for N meters. Don't think of it unless your housing area has a safe garden, otherwise you probably running beside the road, breathing in all the smoke produce by vehicles or people burning some stuff, or risks running beside the car and chase by dogs.

I'm a lazy person (Don't get me wrong, I still go for extreme workout), and I don't like the idea of spending much much more to get more healthy because I found ways not to spend too much and maintain my health. Spending is still necessary, but at least my focus is spending only for what's necessary and worthy, and looking for alternative that is cheap (or free), practical and effective.

So welcome to this blog, it's all about dynamic (and cheap) healthy lifestyle.
