J Bravo's Training For Life

If your health is not in line, how do you know where the problem lies? How can you treat a symptom without having the root cause of the problem addressed? How quickly does our medical community write prescriptions to treat symptoms WITHOUT TREATING THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE HEALTH ISSUE? How many side effects do prescriptive drugs have THAT ARE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF or ARE SO NUMEROUS THAT ITS NOT WORTH IT TO TAKE THEM? How many drugs are prescribed TO OFFSET THE BAD EFFECTS OF ANOTHER? Don't get me wrong, there are good pharmaceuticals. But how quickly do we jump to put some toxic or life destroying (antibiotics) pill in our mouth when we are too lazy and too stubborn to even get our basic nutrition in order? Slick ad campaigns, backwards medical training mindsets, etc. have led up to a social programming that has caused our group as a whole to jump first to the nearest pharmacy to solve our problems when the problems really result from what is in our refrigerator, pantry and cabinets. Have hope in this. You can change. You can change your mind. You can change your body. You can change your health. Let go of the crutch and take your body back from fast foods (empty calories), buffet lines (lack of portion control) and prescriptions (do the cons outweigh the pros? yes, often.). Others have done it. You can too.

Two things, health and hope.

Starting with health, we all have some form of it. Good, bad, decent, vibrant - you pick the adjective for yours. I have perfect health. This is not to be boastful, this is only to preface the next portion of this post. Aside from a few miscellaneous "irritants," I have perfect health. Hay fever, pollen allergies, etc. are the only real concerns that I have. With a recent insurance physical, I qualified for the best possible rate for disability insurance because, yes, my health and fitness is in line. My health is a precious gift. My health is a blessing. My health is the BEST blessing. My health, is my life. Your health, is my life. If I were to disregard that and liveUNstrong - the opposite goal of the yellow wristbands everyone is wearing these days - what would I be doing to protect that blessing? Not much. How is your health? Whatever state it is in, PROTECT IT! Fight for it. Believe in it. Hope through it. Do you want to change it? Change begins with choice. Change your mind, change your body. Change is good. These sayings are familiar to many of us. There is not any portion of this planet earth that does not undergo change. Its somewhat arrogant that we decide that we have it all figured out and that we can be the one entity on planet earth that doesn't change. If your body is changed, surely your life will be also. I promise you, when your health and fitness is in order, every other area of your life will begin to fall into line - personal, professional, recreational, familial, etc. Start today. You may not have tomorrow.
