Some people have suicidal tendencies and don't realize it because it takes a lifetime, rather than an instant planning, to get there. If you aren't maintaining your health or doing everything you can to optimize your health, then you are slowly committing suicide. I can't count how many times people I've known are diagnosed with cancer and continue to smoke until they die. Sad, but true.
My argument is to do everything you can to change your lifestyle NOW while you are still breathing. When I was told that I had cancer, I quit smoking, cold turkey! I was up to 3 PACKS A DAY. I had wanted to quit, but couldn't. I was sick of the morning coughing outbursts and the fact that my tongue felt like it was a rug. The life and death situation was a game changer. I quit and never went back.
As far as my nutrition, I ate junk with the occasional healthy salad. I lived on cold cuts and put 4 teaspoons of sugar in each of my cups of coffee. I'd eat at least a loaf of Italian bread a day, you know, the one from the Italian bakery that isn't found on the Mediterranean Diet.
In a Seinfeld episode, George ponders the question that if everything he did so far is wrong, then the opposite must be right or true. Perhaps I'm not quoting it, but you get the jest of it. That is where you might see what occurred in my life.
The season of State Fairs are in full swing, and you have been literally WARNED! When it comes to the foods, make no mistake, health is far and in between. I've seen or heard of everything from deep-fried pickles to deep-fried ice cream, but face the facts, the foods at State Fairs are suicidal in nature. Eat at your own risk.
The best way to live an unhealthy lifestyle is to sit and do nothing. Unhealthy lifestyles are on the rise. It is almost as if people take good health for granted. So now it is time to turn an unhealthy lifestyle to a healthy one!
Achieving your health goals is only as hard as you make it. Sure you require a bit of commitment and will power, but it is as easy as you want it to be. Change is in your hands.
