Sound Advice
What is the best health advice you have ever heard? I don’t know if I can quite pin down a specific health tid bit that trumps all, but I have found a wonderful quote that gives some sound health advice that anyone can follow. “Sometimes the most urgent and vital thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest.” – Ashleigh Brilliant It’s critical for your health to get enough rest each night. It’s one of those things that is just so easy, but many forget the real value of a simple good night’s rest. Prioritize your your day’s schedule and get the rest your body so desperately needs.

Today Is Always The Perfect Day To Start
Too many “diets” and “new ways of life” start on Monday. If you have resolved to start exercising on a Wednesday, why wait until the following Monday to get started? Start now! Here’s an excellent quote I came across this last week, and it should serve as a reminder to all of you who wait until Monday to start making positive changes in your life. “A year from now you will wish you had started today” – Karen Lamb If you need to start exercising or eat healthy, don’t wait until tomorrow. You have the ability to start right now. Start today, and continue on for the rest of your life. Don’t live your life continually thinking “I’ll start tomorrow” or “I’ll start someday…when I’m ready” or “on Monday”. If you continue thinking like this, chances are, you will...

Are you Committed?
“Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer.” – Marcia Wieder I thought that this was such a great quote. So many people want to change their lives for the better, yet they aren’t willing to commit to themselves and really make it happen. Unfortunately, you are not likley to reach your weight loss goals (for example) in just two weeks. It takes time. Fortunately, the time and effort you put towards your health are going to be worth it in the end. Focus on the end goal and you will ultimately reach your goals. Fall back a couple of steps? That’s OK. That’s life! Just get yourself back on track sooner rather than later and keep moving forward. Tell me what you have done to commit to yourself and reach your goals!

Medicine of the Future
Have you ever wondered what the Doctor of the future is going to be like? What about the future of medicine? Here’s what a very wise person had to say about it… The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. – Thomas Edison The more I think about it, the more I realize that the common medicine used today is not “Traditional” by any means. I urge you to study and understand the importance of natural medicine, the only “traditional” medicine that allows your body to heal without harmful side effects. The more I study nutrition, the more I realize that you can heal your body with herbs, spices, and the healthy whole foods you can...

Don’t Stay Down
I’m not perfect. You aren’t perfect. Nobody is perfect. And it’s OK that we aren’t perfect when it comes to our eating and exercise habits. Becoming healthier is a process…a Journey. We can’t let one weak moment ruin our efforts. You don’t drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there. -Unknown Author Just because you indulged in that one small piece of chocolate, doesn’t mean that you have to continue eating unhealthy food for the remainder of the day. That one piece of chocolate isn’t the problem. It’s the mentality of “I already messed up, so I might as well have another piece of cake” that will get you into trouble. The same concept goes with exercise. Just because you missed a day at the gym, doesn’t mean that you should consider the week a total loss. Did...

I want to be Deprived of…
A lot of people wonder why I am even trying to be healthier. People will actually wonder why I am making a conscious effort to change some bad eating habits of mine. Hey, I am not perfect with my eating and exercising habits. I am not claiming to be perfect, but I DO want to try my hardest to improve my overall Health. My question to those who question my motives is “Why not?” There really isn’t anything to lose by improving your health, except for maybe a couple of things you just don’t want anyways. “Living a healthy lifestyle will only deprive you of poor health, lethargy, and fat.” -Jill Johnson I want to be deprived of Poor Health, Lethargy, and excess Fat!
