We May Stay Away From Obesity, If We Cook Creatively.
Did you realize that most of the superheroes in the Marvel movies are acted by muscular actors? Did superheroes act by muscular men attract more audiences to watch these movies? Especially Captain America: Civil War, many females shouted when they watched this scene.
When the females squeal at this scene, there is actually a hidden message sent to all men, that is “maybe I can be a man who can attract these females too, if I’m as muscular as Captain America”. Therefore, according to the fitness website, joining a fitness center is not only important to my health, but also to change myself to become more a better-looking and attractive person.
To be honest, it is very difficult to build body muscles like Captain America or other superheroes. If you want to build lean muscles, you cannot work out without diet control. A body builder needs to take healthy meals while counting the daily amount of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. So, this is what healthy meals that we see in our lives look like.
Yes, they look really natural and healthy, but can you imagine the taste of those healthy meals? Do you think they taste better than meat pies, burgers, pizzas and fish and chips?
To me as a foodie, I don’t think they taste as good as those burgers from Grill’d or Burger Edge. Those burgers, in fact, increase my appetite to have more. Making the food tasty to whet the appetite is not the only reason, it is also to make the food look good.
There you go. Looks nice and tasty right? Therefore, I cannot control my diet and also fail to build body muscles, and that is also the reason why most of the people fail too.
Let’s see another example of fewer carbohydrates and fats cake for body builders.
From this picture, it is obvious to see that the cake looks really gross and tasteless for foodies. It is impossible to encourage and attract people to eat this cake. Therefore, I think that creativity may be the key element to encourage people to eat healthy meals.
Why does obesity matter?
Before understanding the implications caused by obesity, it is significant to know the amount of people who were suffering from illnesses that caused by obesity. There were 63.4% of Australian adults who were having obesity issues, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistic. It has been increasing by 10% from 1995 to 2012. Besides the report above, another global obesity report has also declared that Australia is the 25th highest rate of obesity country within 188 countries. It means that Australia will be the next fattest nation after the USA. From these figures, it shows that Australia has yet to reduce the obesity rate of the adult population.
Stopping the expansion of obesity is important for Australians. Obesity can cause heart attack, high blood pressure, cancers, and other serious diseases. I believe that no one would want to suffer these conditions.
Conventionally, people always blame the development of fast food restaurants when the obesity rate has increased. Instead of blaming the existence and growth of the fast food industry, I believe that improving the outlook of the food is possible for us to decrease our intake of fast food and instead start to eat healthy meals.
Why is creativity one of the significant elements in cooking?
For muscle builders and also foodies, the outlook of the food will increase or decrease our appetite to take healthy meals. the creativity of cooking skills may encourage chefs and households to cook a ‘less fat, and carbohydrates’ meal and dessert which is tasty and looks beautiful and funny. To encourage people to build muscle body with controlling the diet, the improvement of the outlook of the meal is a key element to pay attention to.
Can you imagine that you eating a cake that looks like an LV bag which has less fat and carbohydrates?
It is really cool and amazing, right? It is possible to eat an LV bag! When we change the outlook of the food, it may start to encourage us to eat those less fat and less carbohydrate food and do workout every day, like her.
Furthermore, you can decide to bake a less fat and carbohydrate cake that looks a superhero. I think it will work to encourage those people who really want to change their bodies, because they do not need to worry to stop eating tasty food.
Please, imagine this is the healthy cake that you are taking.
It will remind you to not to give up on building muscles and improve the creativity of your mind.
Therefore, creativity is important in influencing the society to become more excited about change, looking forward to having something that can help them build a better life. Steve Jobs is a great example of an entrepreneur who has maximized his imagination and changed the world with his creative thinking. Today, we can see that there are more than 1 billion people who use Apple devices no matter their age. Before the rise of the revolution of Apple products, no one believed that even golden agers would like to learn to use the smartphone. This is how imagination and creativity can make things possible.
According to the research, there are many Australians who lack creativity and inspiration in the kitchen. They need help to improve their creativity in cooking dishes. If you are interested to improve your creativity in cooking, there are some examples you may refer:
- Watching Masterchef (TV Shows) may inspire people in the households to cook better and try new recipes. Like Amanda Saab, she is the great example to show that the TV show, MasterChef, is possible to get the ideas to be more creative in your recipes.
- Finding a partner to cook together may inspire and spur some great ideas from one another. According to Tracy, brainstorming techniques can help people think outside the box.
- Travelling is a way to experience something new and increase your knowledge from the different cultures and foods.
Instead of staying by a stump waiting for more hares for the assistance of the government and public health services to solve the problem of obesity, why don’t we start doing something new and may be helpful and effective to deal with? So, let’s make something different today. We can start by baking a cake. The future relies on our creativity.
