Life is full of choices that we have to make all the time. Sometimes we follow the path of least resistance, which is the easy road and sometimes we have to make those tough decisions for career, family and relationships. Improving one's health and wellness becomes a choice, as well. Some people have no problem with making it apart of their lives, while others struggle. The struggle is to be committed and consistent by including some type of physical activity in your life, as well as making healthier choices with foods. There are plenty of reports that say that those choices make one feel better mentally, physically and spiritually, but for some reason something always gets in the way, whether it is the career, family or a relationship.
Did you know that when you take care of you first everything around you seems to fall into place? When you are healthy and well as a result of exercise, your brain functions better, feel good hormones are released, you move better, sleep better and so many other benefits. You have to take care of you in order to take care of those and issues around you.
Many times people start to exercise with the best intentions and then something derails them and then they start and stop again. The cycle continues. Then there is the doctor's annual visit or maybe something does not feel right and that prompted the appointment. He or she suggest to start exercising and change some of your eating habits or you may have to start taking medications for X Y or Z. You don't want to get to this point.
Choose to be healthy and well by exercising at least 3-4 days per week and getting rid of processed foods high in sugar, sodium and fat. Choose to consume low fat meats and dairy, colorful vegetables, whole grains and lots of water. Your life will be more well rounded and balanced when you do.
