I had been a regular visitor of one Filipino internist here in Saudi Arabia since early last year. I remember in 2016 I made a visit almost every month and I really find it as a disturbance and
Why?
Elevated Cholesterol Level, High level of Uric Acid and sometimes high blood pressure. I even did undergone a nasal polyps operation also and stayed in the Hospital for 3 days.
How these things happen?
Poor Eating Habit
I mean what are the major causes of these illnesses? Personally I can attribute it to poor eating habit and it is also the one the doctor insist to be the reason.
Here in Saudi, since you are living alone and considering that you don’t really know how to cook healthy foods, you resolved to buy unhealthy foods outside. And doing it habitually could lead to irregularities in your blood chemistry result.
Lack of Exercise
Since we are working 10 hours a day excluding travel time 6 days a week made me too lazy to do even a simple exercise. I know how important exercise is in keeping myself fit and healthy but I still don’t do it.
But That was last Year
But that was last year. For the whole of 2017 I was able to keep myself away from the doctor, maybe because of an apple a day? LOL. Well I used to eat apple more frequently plus banana and other fruits. And I think that helps.
I also changed my eating habit at least for the whole year I was able to eat healthy foods, I mean with vegetables and fish which I don’t usually eat during the past years being here in Saudi.
