We all have that friend, the one who says, "I'd rather enjoy life than watch what I eat, how much I drink or waste time exercising, because you've got to die from something."
Yeah, we'll all die from something that goes without debate, case closed. The response to the above statement is an important question - how will you live the last 20 years of your life? Granted that there are no guarantees especially on your health, we all know that, but what if you could lessen the possibilities of being dependent on the medical industry to keep you alive and moving? What if you could lessen the possibilities of being a burden to your loved ones?
There is no need to reference the benefits of a sound diet and movement. We were born to move, from our very first hours out of the womb we began to develop motor coordination and it shouldn't stop as we grow older. Our bodies, like our minds need to be stimulated and challenged throughout the course of our lifetimes.
I am not going to cite references here, no medical stats, no feely good sugar coated anything. This is full on, hard core stuff that everyone needs to address in their lifetimes. The information is out there. The people to help you are out there. You just need to get off of your ass and begin to do something because the more you sit, the closer you are to being a burden. You'll spend your life's savings, your family's money on medicines and doctors instead of enjoying your retirement.
So begin doing something - anything today and let it progress. After all, you have to die from something but try to live a full life until the very end.
