If a change in date is a reason to reflect, that’s great. But is that by itself a true motivator, or a real catalyst for change? Why should fact that you’re now writing “04” on your checks be a reason to lose weight and get fit? All too soon, it will seem natural to write that new date, and you’ll lose feeling that too much time has passed you by without results.

If you really want to lose weight and get fit, don’t call it a New Year’s Resolution. And for Heaven’s sake don’t call it a diet either! Both of these are temporary, and everyone knows that. You’ll be setting yourself up for ultimate failure from beginning, because not only will you think it’s temporary, but so will everyone you need to support your efforts.

Losing weight and getting fit is all about improving your health. That’s only real reason to do it. And why do you want to improve your health? Do you want to live longer? Do you desire a better “quality of life” as you grow older? Are there specific things you have a burning desire to do, like traveling to far away places or playing with your grandkids, that demand good health and fitness? Getting in touch with your personal “why improve my health” is one and only true long-term motivator. Think about this, reflect on it, and then write down every reason you can think of for improving your health. And don’t forget where you put it! You’ll need to pull this list out and refer to it when going gets tough.

When it comes too natural healing, it is my belief that most chronic illness or disease can be healed naturally. It is also my belief that foods we choose to eat play a major rule in many chronic conditions.

We have a large quantity of food available to choose from however, due to modern methods of refining quality of food is destroyed. I believe that when we get back to basics of a whole natural diet that our body will respond and bring to us a perfect state of health. Many diseases are nature’s attempt to rid our body of congestion that has accumulated over years of wrong eating and drinking.
