Get Up and Get Moving

It is time to get off the couch and start moving. We have become way too complacent with our lifestyle today. There is nothing motivating us anymore to get off our butts. Did you know American has become the worlds “Fattest Nation,” this fact is terrible and must be changed. According to the Center of Disease Control, 300,000 people die annually from obesity related health problems. Approximately 57 of adults in American, that is a ratio of 1 in 6 are obese. Fast food has become our way of life. Forget about coming home after a long day and cooking a healthy meal. We are too exhausted from work all day. We have to have the newer car and the bigger house. There is no time to take care of our selves. We are working day in day out to live out our material lifestyle. This lifestyle is killing us as a nation. We have forgotten how to eat healthy, exercise, and take personal time to refocus our energy. These are all attributes of the past. Diet pills are on the move. Why do we think that taking a pill can solve everything? This is nuts; putting man made chemicals in our body does nothing but cause harm, if not right away then eventually down the road. There is no easy way out. We just have to make the choice to get up, move and start putting healthier food into our bodies. God provides us with all natural foods, grown from the earth. Since when are we better than God? The food industries are stripping out natural nutrients and putting in additives for preservation, taste and color. What is the solution? They try and put some vitamins back by adding them unnaturally to our foods. Thanks! We have got to start changing our daily routine. First off, we have to start eating better. Start preparing healthy meals everyday, breakfast, lunch and dinner. You should also eat a healthy snack between breakfast and lunch, another between lunch and dinner. This will jump start your metabolism and keep it up and running. You will also avoid the stomach growls of hunger during the day. This will keep your sugar cravings to a minimum. Secondly, start drinking more water. Water is extremely essential for everyday life. It provides energy, decreases hunger, and increases mental clarity. You need about half your body weight in ounces of water per day. For example, a 150-pound person would need about 75 ounces per day. That is about 5-6 large glasses of water per day. Last, start moving your body. You need aerobic exercise minimum 30 min per day 4-5 days per week. Again, this is a minimum recommendation. A fast paced walk or slow jog will start you off in the right direction, slowly advance the intensity, frequency and duration as you get in better shape.Start today, don’t wait any longer, get up and get moving!-Get healthy meals delivered to your door-Join a weight loss community-Sign up with Biggest Losers, Julian Michaels- Get your free newsletter on the top 5 habits to transform your life.
