Today so many of us are so pre-occupied with our daily routine that many people forget the most precious gift we have in life and that is our health. Our physical bodies were given to us at birth at no costs, therefore, we as with most things, if it did not costs us anything, it generally does not get the care it deserves.
Your overall level of fitness and health will determine your course in life and how successful you may become. If for instance you have had good health as you have aged and taken care of yourself, you have had the time and finances to enjoy other things in life.
If you have not taken care of yourself and indulged in habits over the years that are not healthy, then you will pay the price later in life by not being able physically to fulfill some of your dreams, losing a large part of your financial future to obscene healthcare costs and, spending your retirement years, running from one doctor to another.
No one will care more for you then you. Its starts in your own mind. You have to make the decision today that you will be the captain of your ship and have a say in your destiny rather than a US healthcare system that is bloated in bureaucracy, where everything costs double the amount if not more than in other developed countries and, where the outcomes are somewhere in the middle of the pack.
Instead of procrastinating about getting started on developing a leaner and stronger body, or changing your eating habits and losing weight, you need to put your foot down and decide today that you are in charge of your future and not leave it up to someone else.
Your doctor for the most part will give recommendations on how to improve your health but for some, they will not do anything nor can they really say anything to get you to become more involved with your health unless you decide too.
After all, you are a monthly dividend to them coming in for multiple doctor visits around town due to chronic conditions that you could have avoided by taking better care of yourself.
Why pay the doctor when you can pay yourself by eating healthier, starting an exercise program that is aggressive enough that will make some real changes. Too many of us feel that a gentle walk around the block is enough, Though its better than nothing, it will not make much of a difference in your health.
The difference maker will be a strength training program along with cardiovascular exercises and developing a positive can do attitude.
Your mind controls your body and sickly thoughts will result in a sickly body. Think power filled thoughts to overcome procrastination and see and project in your mind how you want to look and feel as you age to beat the ravages of a complacent attitude as you age.
Your ultimate health will be your wealth, pay yourself first each day by maintaining a healthy mind and body.
