Health & Fitness... Posted 2-19-05 Getting serious about your health and fitness. YOUR LIFE DEPENDS UPON IT! The trend is good here in the United States. More and more Americans, encouraged by the good example of their physicians, are becoming increasingly serious about their level of physical fitness, good health and living habits that lean toward a lifestyle of disease prevention. THE KEY?… You must take control of your own health. No one else will. If you stand in the road at night wearing a black outfit,
you are going to get run over. If you use tobacco, soon you will develop
serious non-reversible medical problems. If you overeat, are sedentary and
become overweight, you are going to develop cardiovascular (heart and blood
vessel) disease, develop bad joints and MAYBE develop diabetes. Take care of your body as well as you would your car. Cut down on animal fats, saturated fats and fried foods…well, you know what I mean. Be good to yourself...and honest, you will live longer and better…and yes, LOOK BETTER! Think twice before you reach for that donut or slice of
pie. Your body will appreciate your concern. If you keep moving in the right
direction, you will find your clothes fit better. If you want a face lift...all you have to do is smile…!
