A Healthy Lifestyle Is Not Going On Diets

Seneca suggest, “Temperance controls our desires.” Temperance is our self- control or free will acting on a situation. It controls our wants and replaces them with necessities. Seneca articulates, “…some it hates and routs, others it regulates to a healthy measure.” It monitors our thoughts that we cannot escape or lie to ourselves about. If there is an urging of evil it calms the storm, or if there is a hunger to help it makes sure it is not corrupted. Seneca states, “Temperance knows that the best measure of the appetites is not what you want to take, but what you ought to take.” Temperance shows the way by substituting fake and dismissible wants for, honest and productive needs.

Many people seem to think that dieting is the answer or cutting out things that have too much fat content or too high of sugar. Others on the other hand seem to have other solutions to how this issue can be controlled. In the essay, Escaping from the Western Diet, by Michael Pollan has an interesting way to dieting and it's not your typical way you would think. The other essay, Food for Thought: Resisting the Moralization of Eating, by Mary Maxfield mentions, “Trust yourself. Trust your body. Meet your needs. “(Maxfield 446).

     Temperance is a sign of moral excellence. Epictetus says that one ought exude self-control at all times. For, it is inevitable that one will find oneself in the face of adversity, rumor, and conceit on numerous occasions in a life span. Epictetus dispenses his insight into this matter:

I received lot of information from the last week discussion forum about health promotion and diseases prevention .Even though we know about the healthy life style, diet habits most time it’s hard to follow by simply saying excuses. Practice what we preach is the hard part. An obese health provider advising his or her patients calculating BMI and informing patients that your BMI is above the grid may keep smile on patients face same like health minister asking followers to lead a healthy life style without doing so .As health care providers we try to be model for that setting up realistic goals are essential .Until I read the last week topic I was not familiar with meal plate or salads bar ,as well more conscious about menu plan ,calorie check

My philosophy of eating or on how people should eat , is people should eat healthy . Like buying fresh food , and or growing your own food. Not by eating fast food every day , i understand its really good but it isn't good for you. People need to think about your body and how it will affect you later on in life . Some people don't have the privilege to say what they want to eat , but you can flip that around and actually put suggestions to your parents on what you want . Choose things wisely , check on how it is grow and or processed , look at what's in the product . It’s really all depends on how you want to change about your eating habits.

When we don't practice this temperance we become a slave to oneself in which we rely on another person or have let our virtue go in which the better part is overwhelmed by the worse. The fourth virtue is justice, which is the virtue of entire city when they work in unison, which can only be understood if the first three are virtues are understood by their proper class citizens. The virtue of justice in the city is when each class performs their proper function and not interfere with others. When they don’t perform their duty/ “techne” that is when we find corruption and self-ambition. Similarly, we have justice in an individual in which the human soul is divided into 3 parts: mind, heart, and appetites. A human is just when each part of the soul is performing its function. The mind is the rational part of the body that is to rule over the rest in which the virtue of the mind is wisdom. The heart is the will power that assists the mind in ruling the body. The body is the mediator to keep order in which the virtue of the heart is courage to keep brave. The appetites is the desire of the flesh. For appetizers we must exercise the virtue of temperance so they do not control

Health can be described as one of the most important things that you need in your life to able to lead a happy life even more so than money. You could be poor, but still be happy because you have your health, but what exactly is health?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is indeed a meaningful duty we owe ourselves. ‘If you do not have good health, you do not have wealth’. Healthy lifestyle means upholding a balanced and nutritious diet as well as involves in fitness activities. A healthy diet alone however isn’t sufficient to produce a healthy body as physical activity helps to keep one in shape and free of sickness and disease.

Staying healthy and eating right is a lifestyle that many people should consider. A juicy hamburger from McDonalds dripping with special sauce topped with cheese is not exactly considered a healthy meal. Our society today is busy and on the go at all times. It is so much easier to stop and get fast food and then continue on. However, we should stop and think; is it really worth it to not eat right and exercise?
