Health is one of the most important aspects of our lives, yet so many people neglect their health. It is no secret that minimizing stress, and getting proper nutrition/supplementation and exercise are three of the key components in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, as well as preventing poor health. Yes, everyone knows it, but the problem is that so many people fail to make these things a priority in their lives. If you neglect your health, you must realize that it is only a matter of time before something goes wrong. A poorly maintained engine gets clogged up and eventually breaks down. Furthermore, you can’t drive the car when it is in the shop. In the same way, your body can “break down” if you do not take care of it, which means that you now have to put everything on hold to take care of your broken down body. When your body is in a “broken down” state, you can’t work as efficiently (or at all), you significantly affect those around you, and your focus, which includes a lot of your time and energy, is on your health condition. All you need to do is take a proactive role in making adequate nutrition/supplementation and exercise a steady part of your life, while minimizing stress. Don’t you want to have a healthy direction in life?
If you have an unhealthy direction in life, you end up wandering around aimlessly without ever getting anywhere. It is the same for nutrition and exercise. Without the right guidance and direction, you can spend a lot of unproductive time and energy exercising and dieting with no real, lasting results. Now, if you want to succeed, whether it be in stress management, exercise, nutrition or life, you must make wise choices. Think of it this way…you don’t just throw your money up in the wind and hope it will blow somewhere productive. If so, you would end up broke. So, why would you choose to eat and exercise a certain way without ever establishing a clear direction and purpose for what you are doing?
The truth is that many people make decisions about their health based on articles or books they have read, shows they have seen on television, information they have heard from other people or just their own notions of how to do things. I strongly urge you to be aware of these deceptions. Whether it be ANY diets, false advertising, unregulated & unsafe supplements that make false claims, biased information instead of the real truth or just your own preconceived mindset of what is good or bad, you need to determine what is fact and what is myth. If you seek the truth, you will find it. If you want to travel down the road that leads to better health, you need to use the right fuel and know when and how to step on the gas. There is a right road, however, very few choose to travel down it, hence the soaring obesity and disease rates in our country. What road do you want to be on?
