Time has changed so as our eating habits. We shall see that people in the past live much longer than people in today's era. That's because our diet is differ from our ancestors.

Japanese people are a good example here. In the past most Japanese were very small so Thai people called them "I-Yun" (meaning "shorty"). After the war, however, Japan had done many domestic changes by receiving a lot of western culture especially western diet. Instead of eating fish which provides them with easy to digest protein, unsaturated fat and Omega 3 as their main dish, Japanese turn to western food. They then started to grow up taller and faster just like their technology. They, however, receive allergies, atherosclerosis, heart diseases and cancers as the consequences. This situation doesn't happen only in Japan but also here in Thailand. Thai people also accept western diet culture such as fast food, frozen food, and instant food which are causes of various illnesses.

The problem is "how can we change our eating habit?" The answer is we have to begin from ourselves first. The most important thing is to change our attitude. There are times when we eat not because of hungriness but because we can't stand our desire. Therefore the first thing to do is to decrease our desire. We have to think that what we eat only increases more toxic to our body and causes several serious illnesses. Anyway, people usually have no fear for things that don't have instant effect such as cigarette smoking. Suppose smoking cigarettes caused instant death, people wouldn't smoke them for sure. Nevertheless we have to admit that things that we eat will certainly bring bad effect to our body sooner or later. Therefore we have to overcome our desire like a saying "If you conquer your mind, you conquer the world". If we give up to our own heart, we'd better forget about beating others. Thus, we have to start from ourselves because if we can change ourselves and our eating habits, we will gain good health in return. A good health can't be acquired in one day. Our body will get stronger little by little because it contains more than a one-day toxic but has been collected toxic substances for several years. Some people may have collected them for all their lives. Hence, it's certainly that these toxic substances can't be cleaned up within one day.

Whenever we have changed our behavior, good things will happen to us. Eating habits can also be changed by using natural treatment such as acupuncture to reduce hungriness, and detoxification to wash away toxic substances from our body. Acupuncture helps balancing our body system (Some people are afraid of getting hurt but it's better to receive a slight pain now than receiving it for the rest of their lives.) For detoxification, if we take a ten - day course, we will know how to take care of our health and after we finish this course, we can certainly change our eating habits.

The way we are, the way we eat and the way we live is best known by us. Therefore if things around us can shorten our lives, deteriorate our body and psychological health; wouldn't it be better to start changing now? Ask yourself if you want to live a happy life or suffer each day that you survive. There is no need to tell the answer to anybody except to yourself.
