On Living (Healthy)
I’m putting togerther a listing of the primary excuses for not living at our healthiest, and smashing them. I’m constanly adding to them, and so many times we look at the rest of the world, and say, “oh, I wish…” Well, now you can look around and say, “yep, I’m there.” Living healthy is not a difficult thing to do, it’s a habit of smashing down the opposition. If you say, “I’m going to” and then don’t, you accomplish nothing. If you say ” I will, but” you’re still being held back by your fears, also known as the opposition. If you do the things that are set forth for you to do, and create a personal habit of becoming healthy, instead of consuming the processed, dehydrated and reconstituted, partially hydrogenated foods available on the supermarket shelves, and become addicted to fresh, healthy foods that are good for you, and good for life, you will become healthier. “You are what you eat.” Would you rather be partially hydrogenated, full of trans fats and preservatives, processed, and reconstituted? Or do you want to be healthy, living a full, active life, and looking forward to being around after 80, and showing your grandchildren around Disneyworld? Having the cashier at the fast-food joint asking for your ID every time you order a salad and senior discount? That is my goal. I’m working on that, but it takes time to become a habit.
“It’s very easy for someone to say, ‘I’m just feeling tired because I’m run-down and have too much going on,’” says Sandra Adamson Fryhofer, MD. “But the bottom line is that fatigue could be a sign of a medical condition that can be treated … If you have made the changes that make sense, and you’re still feeling the symptoms of fatigue, then you need professional help.”
