Why Jogging is Not Enough?

For metabolism is chemical-assaulted

By Seema PatelPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

On the walk today,

I saw this woman —

she was jogging

on the dirt trail

near the canyon’s edge.

Good habit sure,

but something was wrong.

She left behind

a trail of scent.

She must have been wearing,

deodorant, or perfume,

may be sunscreen too.

If her hormones encounter

such artificial scents,

her system will suffer.

And the result?

Metabolism disturbance,

and weight gain!

Then she might grab

one of those

quick, easy medications

to reduce weight.

But sooner or later,

side effects will appear.

You can’t fix,

one chemical's ravages,

with another chemical.

Instead,

adhere to a lifestyle

that’s not hostile.

Evolution wants us

to live natural —

where body pH is neutral.

Wake up and act wise,

It’s never too late

to shun bad choices.

Avoid wearing chemicals.
