Do You Eat To Live, Or LIVE To EAT?

Take Control! [Part 2]

The Great Paradox

We are in a state of EMERGENCY...!

Life is fast, stressful, and unpredictable. Our health is strained as we rush to keep up... Food, rest, and exercise have become secondary to paying the bills. We demand that our food be fast, cheap, and plentiful. According to USA Today, "The fast food industry has doubled in the last five years to $129 billion." Obesity is growing in epidemic proportions; our kids are overweight, and are getting sicker and sicker. What's worse, is that we are letting it happen!

• Are you TIRED and STRESSED out?
• Are you OVERWEIGHT?
• Do you wake up DREADING to go to work/school?
• Are you LIVING one life, and DREAMING of another?
• Do you want to know how you can take CONTROL of your HEALTH?

Well, thank heavens you're here!

Checkpoint

Congratulations on wanting to take control of your health! Good health is a goal that many would like to achieve, but only a few have the guts to bring them there... no pun intended. 

Chances are that you have seen the previous post, Take Control [Part I] , and have learnt about the shocking reality of how human beings in this era have been cheating themselves out on an opportunity to have a life that is filled with energy and vitality.

So, the question is, "How do we keep ourselves in good health?"

The Road to Optimal Health

If you wish to get and keep yourself out of the Tired and Sick zones, and maintain good health, then you need to give attention to 3 main factors:

1. Rest. There's no substitute for rest, as your body needs it in order to rejuvenate, relax, as well as to perform critical repair and renewal of your cells, tissues, and organs. The optimal amount of rest for the body is 6 to 8 hours [not each week, but] each day.
2. Exercise. This is necessary to ensure proper flow of blood to and from your major organs, in order to keep them active, responsive, and of course, fit to keep you going.
3. Diet. This is where the majority has lost, and is still losing the battle. Even with massive advancement in technology over the years, mankind still fails to transform this development into good health. What is diet? Everything that you eat! And, if you just look more closely on the word 'diet', you will see that the first 3 letters spell 'die' and the last letter, 't', represents 'teeth'. This means that people dig their graves with their teeth. And the sneaky little ones, who may claim they have no teeth, do the very same thing with their tongue. Regardless, the truth stands that persons, most times, eat, drink, and smoke their way to their graves. Your diet is of exceedingly greater importance to you than you may think.

Once you give your body adequate rest and exercise, and you eat more of the right kinds of food, you could begin to reclaim your rightful spot, and extend your stay in the Healthy zone!

Stay tuned to learn the scientific application behind all of this reasoning, and to get insight into the kind of diet that your body may have been asking for all this time, in order to keep you out of the Tired and Sick zones, and quickly into the Healthy zone. We are in a state of emergency. Don't delay; take control of your health today!
