Healthy Living

We are what we eat,
   That's what they say,
   Some good old fashioned porridge,
   And an apple a day.
   For lunch a healthy salad,
   A good start to the day,
   Packed with vitamins,
   And will help you on your way.
   For dinner a hearty casserole,
   Lots of vegetables in a stew,
   Much healthier than a sausage roll,
   It's good to eat healthily,
   And helps to look after you!!!!!

Good Morning Jeanette. Your title caught my eye and your words are so true that we should all think about. Healthy eating and living should be a way of life because it otherwise catches up with all of us sooner or later in some way with a medical issue or two. Thank you for sharing with us. Take Care

All of those sound wonderful. Sometimes around here I have to prepare those unhealthy items because the men like them. Today with the rain a good stew with lots of vegetables would be wonderful. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. My parents lived to be 96 years of age and were poor most of their lives so ate a fare that was in line with what you wrote, but they did not eat oatmeal nor rice. My mother made biscuits everyday. We had a vegetable added to the biscuit and pie. Sara

Dear Jeanette, your wonderful poem is a recipe for healthful success. So uplifting, I can almost catch the scent of the stew simmering on the stove. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

One even gets to like it with practice. Like so many other things, poor diet is a habit~ that can be happily broken...like over drinking and smoking~ a big No No! Blessings my friend. Well said.

wish I could get my hubbie to eat healthy. He is always getting sick but I just can't get him to change. It's ok to eat a bit of junk food now and then. but keeping the majority of your food healthy is so wise. I had read this one before, so I should look for a different one now!

Yes it does make a difference to eat healthily, with some treats. Might he try things like e.g summer fruits (Blueberries and strawberrys) with ice cream on top. Blueberries are very good for you. Thank you for your comments. I will write another one soon.
