Written by Greg Ryan


What if you could actively changerepparttar outcome of your life by eating better and getting daily exercise? What if you felt better had more energy, less pain, and a better attitude toward aging? What if you approached life with more confidence, rather than dreadingrepparttar 148036 day? The fact is you will never know ahead of time when your life will end. Life, love and logic never seem to be onrepparttar 148037 same page. You can leave this earth anytime and for any reason. How you decide to live those days before you do go is your choice. You can continue downrepparttar 148038 path you're going with achy joints, low energy levels, high stress, and poor eating habits or you can choose a different path.

The health of America is going to get worse before it gets better. Diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease-are all at epidemic levels. And forrepparttar 148039 first time in historyrepparttar 148040 kids of today are projected not to live as long as there parents have. The only way forrepparttar 148041 health of America to get better is for all of us to be personally responsible, change our attitudes toward exercise, and support one another inrepparttar 148042 process.

Inrepparttar 148043 "good years," more money, more marketing and more-for-me attitudes enabled us to focus on makingrepparttar 148044 big bucks. It allowed us to put off worrying about healthy bodies. The accent was on NOW and not later. Butrepparttar 148045 fiscal wealth we accumulated years ago is NOW being drained by our physical healthcare costs. Eventually, our bad health will consume allrepparttar 148046 extra dollars we worked so hard to earn. Some ofrepparttar 148047 responsibility falls withrepparttar 148048 big corporations, insurance companies and hospital groups. But atrepparttar 148049 end ofrepparttar 148050 day,repparttar 148051 buck stops with YOU.

The reality of this situation bites; however,repparttar 148052 solution is not to ignore it, but to encourage people to embrace it.

Many of you have either given up on yourself or just flat out are living in denial. Either wayrepparttar 148053 choice is still yours. The fact ofrepparttar 148054 matter is there is still hope for America and there is still hope for you, too.

Don't letrepparttar 148055 buck stop with you. Take care of your own life before it takes charge of you.

Why start now? Pay me now or pay me later. I can just hearrepparttar 148056 doctors say. With life comes responsibility and with decisions comes consequences. It's your choice today to do something positive. Tomorrow it may be out of your hands. Rememberrepparttar 148057 three underlying emotions that keep us from taking better care of ourselves: denial, pride, and laziness. Consciously or subconsciously, this threesome isrepparttar 148058 root of why most Americans have allowed themselves to get inrepparttar 148059 shape they are in.

Why have I allowed myself to get into this shape? With life comes responsibility and with decisions comes consequences. It's your choice today to do something positive. Tomorrow it may be out of your hands. There are three underlying emotions that keep you from taking better care of yourself: denial, pride, and laziness. Consciously or subconsciously, this threesome isrepparttar root of why most Americans have allowed themselves to get inrepparttar 148035 shape they are in.

Are you one of them?

Chances are sooner or later one or all three will be riding with you inrepparttar 148036 car torepparttar 148037 hospital. Have you found yourself saying these things?

"My diet is not that bad." "A few trips torepparttar 148038 fast food joint once in awhile won't hurt." "My blood pressure is fine today. It wouldn't hurt if I skipped a day of taking my medication." "My New Year's resolution next month is to get in better shape." "Why have I let myself get this out of shape?

DENIAL

"It won't happen to me…no way, no how!"

Unfortunately, it is what we cannot see that is killing us. Our insides are getting eaten away because of our lack of exercise and poor eating habits. Society is so concerned with extreme makeover television shows that we have been caught off guard withrepparttar 148039 silent killers: heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Even ifrepparttar 148040 outside looks good,repparttar 148041 damage is still done inside our bodies. Over time we have made ourselves feel comfortable with certain lifestyle habits.

We overlookrepparttar 148042 long-term consequences of our behaviors. We see things going on around us, but we continue to put off exercise and eating better for another day. Out ofrepparttar 148043 three, Denial isrepparttar 148044 sneakiest beast of them all.

PRIDE

"Do not let them see you sweat or show any signs of weakness."

Ever find yourself saying one of these? "If I cannot do it on my own, then I will not do it at all." "Justrepparttar 148045 very fact of having to take better care of me, irritates me." "I'll put off my check up until next fall." Ever have any of these thoughts? Denial's brother, Pride, may not berepparttar 148046 sneakiest, but he isrepparttar 148047 strongest personality ofrepparttar 148048 boys. Having too much pride costs millions of lives every year in any arena you can imagine, especially in health andrepparttar 148049 aging process. While pride may berepparttar 148050 strongest emotion out ofrepparttar 148051 three, he always seems to lose. His ego getsrepparttar 148052 best of him and aging finally wins out inrepparttar 148053 end.
