OUTLOOK
We think that in order to be healthy you have to eat well, exercise, be thin, strong and fit. But I think we have to recognize that there are other factors involved. I am partly at fault, I preach a lot about making good choices about eating healthy foods and to always make time to workout and while all of that is very important, and plays a large role in our overall health, so do our personal choices. I’m talking about smoking, drinking, drugs, not listening to doctor recommendations, maybe not even going to the doctor at all!
This week a friend of mine had to say goodbye to a friend of hers because of liver and kidney failure due to alcoholism- she is very young. Also this week, my good friend who has suffered from an autoimmune disorder for 17 years decided NOT to listen to a doctors advice and ended up in the hospital for 4 nights. My point here is that the choices that we make affect our health sometimes more so than food and exercise. Keeping up on regular doctor appointments and really understanding what is going on with your own body is extremely important. If you smoke, drink or do drugs and need help stopping, there are many options out there to help you if you are serious about quitting, speak to your doctor. Remember there are many aspects to your health-diet and exercise are just 2 factors but never forget that your overall lifestyle choices play a very large role as well! Stay healthy!
