Cintailah Alam Sekitar

Alam sekitar memainkan peranan yang penting dalam kehidupan harian kita. Alam sekitar yang tidak tercemar memberikan kita satu suasana yang selesa dan menyamankan. Di samping memberi keselesaan kepada manusia, ia juga sedikit sebanyak akan menjejaskan aktiviti-aktiviti pembangunan negara sekiranya alam sekitar di negara kita tidak dijaga dengan baik.

         Antara kepentingan alam sekitar:

• Kesihatan manusia terjamin
• Tarikan pelancong asing
• Pembekalan udara yang segar
• Ekosistem yang stabil
• Habitat hidupan darat dan air terpelihara
• Mengelakkan kepupusan
  
  
  Kemusnahan alam sekitar diakibatkan oleh pelbagai pihak. Sektor perindustrian dan sektor pertanian yang merupakan sektor terpenting di negara kita turut menyumbang dalam kemusnahan alam sekitar.
  

  Antara punca-punca kelemahan alam sekitar ialah:

  • Penggunaan baja kimia dan secara berlebihan
  • Penebangan pokok-pokok secara berleluasa
  • Pembakaran terbuka
  • Pembebasan gas-gas seperti gas karbon monoksida, karbon dioksida, sulfur oksida, hidrokarbon dan lain-lain.
  • Pengeluaran sisa-sisa bahan toksik yang berbau busuk
  • Pembuangan sisa-sisa toksik

  
  

  Alam sekitar yang sedang mengalami kemusnahan telah membawa banyak kemudaratan kepada manusia dan hidupan tidak kira hidupan di darat ataupun di air.
  

  Antara kesan-kesannya ialah:

  • Pencemaran udara dan jerebu
  • Fenomena hujan asid
  • Pencemaran bau
  • Pencemaran air
  • Kemusnahan hidupan akuatik
  • Peningkatan suhu sekitar/pemanasan setempat
  • Keracunan
  • Hakisan tanah dan banjir

A Healthy Lifestyle ^^v

You hear a lot about living a healthy lifestyle, but what does that mean?

 In general, a healthy person doesn't smoke, always at a healthy weight, eats healthy and exercises. Sounds simple, doesn't it? 

The trick to healthy living is making small changes...taking more steps, adding fruit to your cereal, having an extra glass of water...these are just a few ways you can start living healthy without drastic changes. 

So now, I'll show you several simple ways to live a healthy lifestyle which I got the information from about.com

          Simple Ways To Move Your Body:

• Turn off the TV. Once a week, turn off the TV and do something a little more physical with your family. Play games, take a walk...almost anything will be more active than sitting on the couch.
• Walk more. Look for small ways to walk more. When you get the mail, take a walk around the block, walk on evening for an extra outing each day or walk on your treadmill for 5 minutes before getting ready for work.
• Do some chores. Working in the garden, raking leaves, sweeping the floor...these kinds of activities may not be 'vigorous' exercise, but they can keep you moving while getting your house in order.
• Pace while you talk. When you're on the phone, pace around or even do some cleaning while gabbing. This is a great way to stay moving while doing something you enjoy.

  Eating Well:
  

  • Sneak in more veggies. Add them wherever you can. For examples add tomato on your sandwich, peppers on your pizza, or extra veggies in your pasta sauce. Keep pre-cut or canned/frozen veggies ready for quick snacks.
  • Switch your salad dressing. If you eat full-fat dressing, switch to something lighter and you'll automatically eat less calories.
  • Eat low-fat or fat-free dairy. Switching to skim milk or fat free yogurt is another simple way to eat less calories without having to change too much in your diet.
    Hope you enjoy reading this entry :)
    the more you do, the healthier you'll be!
