It was Monday, March 3rd 2008. The weather was nice in New York City, about 55 degrees or so. The air was somehow calm, and you can actually see a less pollutant atmosphere. The morning crowd was scandalously fighting to get inside the trains as usual. There’s a number 1 train in NYC and in my opinion it is the worse in terms or service, departure and arrival time. Enough said! Let me get back on track here and let you know a little secret called “ Start the journey now or pay the price later”
As the crowd is galloping through the morning rush hour and so many people look anxious to get to their destination. I suddenly wondered if some of us ever think about distressing ourselves from the paranoia of life is a sure way to keep us healthy. Anyway, Some of them were carrying heavy loads of newspaper with huge cups of coffee in their hands. I would say the measurement of those cups were about 8 to 16 ounces. The visage of some gave me a sign that physically the body was not totally awake neither the mind. And some others look like they were anxious to start the light, brisk day very fresh. As for me, my energy level is always high in the morning. The very first thing I do when I wake up is drink 8 -16 ounce of a very fresh fluid called water, and sometime a cup or 2 cups of green tea, then I proceed to a healthy breakfast.
It was a morning of true analysis in my healthy book. Hey..! Why not observe a few individuals to see how some of the norms in our society behave and react with a morning rush hour? When I looked around, the majority of people were overweight, a few of them were obese, and a very small percentage was slender. This is in reference to teenagers, adults, and seniors. I also noticed that some people in the train were breathing high, look lost, and uncertain.
I wonder how many of them ever think about “start now or pay the price later in life”. Paying the price later in life has to do with the maturation of: diabetes, high cholesterol level, cancer, coronary heart disease, chronic stress, high tryglecerides, osteoperosis, arthritis, elevated pain, spine and back disorders, bad posture, and many more. Interestingly enough, most people don’t think about these disorders or ailments unless the cause because astringent. By the time this level is reached, for some, unfortunately it can be too late.
There are many ways to start early in order to get back on track to a healthier lifestyle. At the end of this article you will be able to visit two websites where you can get infectious information about how to start your healthy journey now so you don’t have to pay the malicious price later in life. If you’ve been reading my newsletters and my articles, you will know for certain that I was not the healthiest person in existence. Today I am still not, but I have made tremendous progress in my life and continue to do so, because I started early, so I don’t have to pay the price later. I am not asking you to follow my footprints, and I am not talking here about perfection either. However, if you can be conscious of your health, and start educating yourself early about your own body and what you need to do, you will be far ahead of the throng who refuse to make a commitment to better their health.
The conveying factor here folks is very simple. It’s called “habit”. I am certain that most of us usually think of habit as a negative aspect in one’s life, such as: smoking, alcoholic, sex addict, etc. Having a positive habit in life can be contagious to others around you. For example, if you have a habit of eating a special huge bowl of salad at a specific time during the day, that’s a very good and healthy habit to have. If you check all your saving accounts a the same time or count exactly the amount of grams from protein, fats, and carbohydrates you’re getting for the day.
These choices are very healthy and positive habits to have in life. Did you know that the best way to start any journey in life is to take action and start it? Did you also know that most journeys in life start small not big? Where does that lead you and I? We can do the same thing. Well, I already started a very long time ago, and I know some of you reading this article have already started as well and I am glad you did. What about the rest of you reading this? Yes, you --- I am referring to you reading this right now and you know you have not started your journey to a healthier lifestyle yet. Take action and start today, and I guarantee it you will not regret your very first step.
