There has never been a time
in human history where you can live longer and live better than you can today.
Incredible advances in pharmaceuticals, medicine, and healthcare enable people
to overcome disease and illness and continue to thrive well into their 80s and
90s.
Perhaps the largest growing
demographic group in America today is people who are 90 and 100 years old or
more. Your job is to join this group and to be fit and healthy all the days of
your life.
For almost the entire
history of the human race, longevity was a matter of accident or coincidence…
Today longevity is a matter
of design and choice.
You can actually decide
today to enjoy superb levels of physical health, and by developing specific
habits, you can assure that you live longer and better than has been possible
for any other generation in human history.
How To Be Healthy And Fit
More than 60% of Americans
today are officially classified as “obese.” This means that they are more than
20% above their ideal weight, based on height and weight charts. Even worse,
there are many millions who are officially classified as “morbidly obese.” This
means that they are 40% and 50% above their ideal weights.
Everything you are, and ever
will be, is the result of your choices and decisions. If you want to change
some aspect of your life, you have to make new choices and new decisions, and
then you must discipline yourself to follow through on your decisions.
The only way to achieve your
proper weight is to develop the habit of eating less and exercising more each
day and each week. But just as it takes you months and years to become
overweight, it takes you many months to get rid of the weight once you make
that decision.
It is not easy to lose
weight.
This is because you develop
automatic habits of eating that are hard to break. You get into a rhythm of
eating certain foods – morning, noon and night. You become accustomed to eating
snacks between meals, and to overeating in the evening. It is not easy to break
these habits, but it is definitely possible.
This is your goal.
1) Eat The Right Foods
The first habit you need to
develop for a long life full of health and fitness is the habit of eating a
proper diet.
You have to develop the
habit of eating the right foods, in the right proportions, at the right times.
Everyone knows that they
should eat a more balanced diet, containing more fruits, vegetables, and whole
grain products.
In addition to this basic
principle, there are several things that you can do to modify your diet and
develop the habits of good nutrition, which will lead to a combination of
weight loss and higher levels of energy and fitness.
In addition to eating the
right foods, you should develop the habit of eliminating the “three
white poisons” from your diet, which are salt, sugar, and flour.
This change in your diet is
so simple and yet so powerful that every one of my students who tries it is
absolutely amazed at how quickly they get noticeable results.
