Read This Before You Die!

So IF I could tell you that if you could do ONE thing that has the capacity to decrease aging, improve ALL of your health in pretty much EVERY way, decrease your chances of  cancer and EVERY other illness blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Do you think this is even possible?  Could such a thing exist and us know about it?  How about you sit for a second before I give you the answer and try to think if this is a joke or not.

I will now reveal the answer to this question,    ........

                                             

                                               EXERCISE!!!!

I know so simple right!  But, in my classes and over the last little while, I have notices a theme, and according to my professor Coleen, there is only ONE thing that has been scientifically proven consistently EVERY single time, that has shown time and time again to be your best defense vs. disease states of all forms.

I like to look at this example as analogous to the Children of Israel (I know this is a stretch).  The Children of Israel were traveling in the wilderness for 40 years, they were close to the promised land, they asked the king of another land if they could pass through because it was a short-cut and this king denied their request, so they had to go the long way, which was slow and hard, and it let to a lot of complaining and murmuring. The Lord sent poisonous serpents, and they bit them.  Then Moses prayed to the Lord and asked the Lord what they should do to be healed, so the Lord told Moses to make a brass serpent and place it on a staff and whoever looked upon it would be healed.   But, it is so interesting to note that there were many of them who refused to look upon the staff, because it just seemed far too simple. 

BTW if you have ever seen the symbol of MEDICINE IT IS A STAFF WITH A SERPENT WRAPPED AROUND IT, THAT STORY  OF MOSES IS ITS FOUNDATION!

Maybe my analogy is far off base, but I think it has some merit, that being; we have been told soooo many times how good exercise is for us, but yet so many of us (including myself) just refuse to do it, or expend vast amounts of money and energy into other possibly fruitless, or far lesser things.  Now this does not mean that if you DO exercise you will never be sick, but it definitely reduces most ailments a lot.  So are you ignoring solid counsel, hoping for an easy fix/miracle to come around? 

It is recommended to eventually work up to 30 minutes of exercise 5-6 times a week, preferably cardio, but women do not forget the power of weight training & toning (that's a whole other topic!).

Hope you enjoyed my reiteration of profound wisdom that we all know and have heard over and over again!
