Keeping Fit

A recent healthy survey indicates that lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, heart attack, strokes and
certain types of diseases are on the rise. Building waistlines, obesity and clogged arteries are becoming
more common as Malaysians continue with their unhealthy lifestyles. Our preoccupation with tasty but
unhealthy meals as well as our increasingly inactive or sedentary lifestyles have taken a toll on our
health. The government’s call for Malaysians to live healthy lifestyles have fallen on deaf ears. As a
result, we have a growing generation of couch potatoes.
