If You're Not Moving, You're Dying

A couple of months ago - some issues I was experiencing caused me to do a 180 with my diet and exercise routine.  A better way to explain it would be - I realized if I didn't start on my way to being healthy, I might not be around.

We've all heard the saying, "Garbage In, Garbage Out," for our diets.  But we may not have heard the saying: "If You're Not Moving, You're Dying," for our bodies.  

When you're lethargic and sedimentary - your body loses.  This is just a small list of the things that can occur when you choose to stop moving:

• Inflammation.
• Increased chances of high cholesterol and/or blood pressure, diabetes, certain cancers, poor blood circulation, strokes, and heart attacks. 
• Lower metabolism.
• You'll experience fewer calories burnt.  Couple this with a poor diet, and weight gain - even obesity - is likely to follow.
• Loss of endurance and strength.
• Weak Bones.
• Compromised immune system.
• And much more!

Try to implement a few or all of these simple steps:

• Try to stand and stretch at least once every hour.
• Work exercise into your daily routine.
• Limit the amount of sitting you do.
• Don't take the easy way out.  Take stairs as opposed to elevators.  Park further away as opposed to looking for the closest spot.  
• Pay attention to what you're putting into your body.  Eat for fuel - not fun.

The idea of retiring sounds fun to someone who dislikes their job.  But, when you think about how many people take a turn for the worst after retiring - it doesn't seem as appealing.  Instead - find something you love to do and keep moving!
