We all need to work together on Health of our entire population and encourging more healthy choices. Hospital and insurance costs affect us all and are a drain on our economy.

Seriously, some people still don’t get it- or think they are not in the overweight or obese or unhealthy bracket.
Many of us still make unhealthy decisions daily. Sometimes a nudge in the right direction helps. Sin taxes are one idea. Hopefully more doctors will give the prescription of ‘E’ – excercize, to those who need it!

Pangea – Bermuda water is perfectly fine! Think of the waste in energy (carbon footprint) of bringing Water from the Alps! Not to forget the plastic bottles involved – energy to make, transport and dispose of.

Use a refillable bottle and save money and the environment.

If you are big and fat and you weigh more than your height/ weight.

************ I am saving your life here.*****************

If you want to loose weight and If you only knew how they died may be you could stop eating Cows; Pigs; Sheep; Chickens; and all their related by products.

Some people eat far more protein than they require, you would not drink a 1/2 cup of blood, so, why eat a rare steak ?

Severely cut back on Sugar; Salt; Grease; Butter; White Bread ;Soda pop; Booze and Cigarettes.

Don’t watch food adds and cooking shows on T.V.they make you hungry.

A balanced diet is the answer.

The wonder foods are.

Honey
Quaker oats
Beans
Berries
Nuts
Fish…… baked or steamed
Almond milk …..without soy
Avocado
Onions
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Green vegetables
Apples.

You may try an Apple instead of candy and fall in love with green vegetables and do add seasoning to taste.

Most times when you think you are hungry, you are not ! you are thirsty.

Try walking for exercise with proper walking shoes; track suit; hat and sun glasses ; water from the alps and a smile on you face.

Consult your Doctor.

“As we seek to build a healthy Bermuda” This after the PLP acted like a cancer through the economy and then performed financial rape on the ‘patient’.

And in other breaking news: a continuous supply of oxygen is found to increase life span.

Serioulsy, do people not know about diet and exercise? Is this really new news for anyone? Will the PLP get on board with the breaking news that water is wet too?

“Shadow Health Minister Zane Desilva said, “The Bermuda Progressive Labour Party joins with healthcare professionals across the island in marking Public Health Week.” From above article

So you marked it or you joined up with people to mark it. Sounds to me like you just did a press release to hang on the coat tails of others.

Now instead of making things more affordable you want to tax us more…

“higher sin taxes on items such as candies, deep fried foods and cigarettes”

You are not helping, you are hurting us PLP.
