Just how annoyed with your alleged easy weight loss program do you have to get before you do something about it? You know you should eat healthy, yeah but, yeah but, yeah but…
A man waits impatiently for his doctor in an examination room. Fiddling with the string on is hospital gown he wonders about his medical exam results and what could be taking so long?
Finally, in comes the doctor and they greet each other with a nod and a handshake. The doctor begins to review the man’s chart. More fiddling with the string when the doctor begins to speak, “George you’ve been my patient for a long time and I’m going to give it to you straight. You can either dedicate 60 minutes a day to an exercise program and learning how to eat properly or you can be dead 24 hours a day. Which would you prefer?”
This scene never happened; at least we don’t think it did, but it certainly illustrates the point. The healthy choice is ours. Each one of us has the choice to move toward optimal health or to move further away from it. The simple act of taking a few minutes to learn how to eat healthy, the simple act of taking a few minutes to be more active today than yesterday will make a difference, a significant difference in a short time.
When make an active choice they select from a number of possibilities; they pick responsibility by preference after consideration to the alternatives and their consequences. So should one choose to ignore the massive amounts of health related information regarding the benefits to healthy eating and increased physical activity they face the possibility of dealing with poor healthy and a shortened life expectancy.
By choosing a sensible course of action to promote good health and longevity one chooses to respect the package Mother Nature has provided, to show it respect and honor the being held within.
You see, there is much more at stake here – there is the focus of your attention. You get to either choose to focus on the things you want, the things that inspire you, motivate you, interest you or you are forced to focus on resolving health issues.
Which would you prefer, spending a couple of hours learning and applying healthy eating, healthy activity and healthy weight management principles, learning it once or being overweight, prone to sickness and being forced to deal with the medical establishment for the rest of your life?
That’s why the logical choice is FOR health.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog. A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.
