Get Living

Everyone is always asking me, “Why do you want to be so healthy? And work out so much? And eat bean sprouts and stuff? Why are you giving up all the good stuff? What do you want to do, live to be a hundred?” Well, it’s really not like that. Sure certain healthy habits can extend your life… Healthy weight – add 6 years, don’t smoke – add 10 years, laugh 15 mins a day- add 8 years, thinking positively – add 9 years, get a good night’s sleep – add 5 years. But what’s important is your quality of life. Can you go and do everything you want to do without getting out of breath or having pain? What do you see yourself doing in 5, 10, 20 years? If you have plans of traveling, biking, hiking, etc, then you better not have an extra 50 pounds to lug around. Tomorrow maybe just a day away, but today you’re alive so you better get living!!
