Age shouldn't stop you from being healthy..

This morning I went to a shop to buy milk and bananas. The shop's not far from my house, reachable by 5 minute walking. After getting what I needed, I stepped outside the shop and stopped for a while to arrange the 2L milk and 5 bananas in my hands since I didn't bring any plastic bag. Just for your information, a plastic bag here is not free. It costs you 22 cents.

While I was arranging my groceries, my eyes glimpsed something interesting not far from where I was standing. An elderly lady stopped at the traffic light, waiting for it to turn green. She looked very old, 60-70ish years old! I could tell from her hair color and the wrinkles on her face. What's interesting about that? Wait.. She was not driving or waiting to cross the road. She was cycling! Wearing a sport wear and a pair of comfortable sport shoes, she looked so energetic, not different to young people. When the traffic light turned green, she started pedaling again, enthusiastically! 

Witnessing that, no wonder the life expectation in this country (or other western countries) is high. People here understand the importance of maintaining health. They not only understand, but also apply it in their daily life. 

Your health is your responsibility. If you care about your health, you should have a serious commitment taking care of your health every day. Start from a small thing, start yourself, and start now! From this experience, I learned that regardless of your age, you're in charge of your own health. Do not let your age stand in your way of having a healthier life. Live healthier and feel younger! ;)
