Most of my life all i ever heard was you have to invest in your future. And for most of us this is all we focus on, working endless hours making money to put away for our golden years, as some like to call it.
Well as i look around at the people entering into the golden years, the picture doesn't look so rosy. The majority are overweight can barely walk, and complain about all the aches and pains they have. If this is the golden years you can leave me out !
And to be quite honest when i look around at people in their late 40's and 50's they fit that description now, odds are they wont see the golden years. If i ask them why they don't change their lifestyle the usual response is well, you only live once.
This is the point exactly, you only live once and you have only one body to do it with. So why the hell would you constantly abuse it, and not consider maintaining it to keep it running its best. Most people spend more time and effort detailing and maintaining their cars then their overall health.
They say that the majority of people are only one sickness away from loosing it all, the leading cause of bankruptcy is medical bills. I have heard story's of rich people saying they would give up everything if they could only be healthy again.
Most people when they are young don't even think about the future, and i have to admit it i didn't either. When i was young i thought i would never get to be this age, i guess it was due to looking at the people around me and the condition they were in physically and thinking that i never wanted to look that way.
When you are young you can get away with a lot, drinking, smoking, and late nights parties for the most part. But when you reach a certain age, this is usually around 25 your body starts to change in many ways. And this is mainly due to muscle loss and hormonal changes in your body. I have seen women start looking like men, and men start acting like women.
If you have a problem getting motivated for eating a healthy diet, and doing a regular weekly exercise plan. Go visit a nursing home and see your possible future.
Do yourself a favor and take an honest evaluation of yourself today ?. What do you want to look like, and be able to do in the future ?. Would it bother you that you might not be able to feed, bathe,or wipe your own ass. I have witness this with a family member and i can tell you that it is a humbling experience.
I have always had the mindset that nothing gets in the way of my gym time, not money or sex. Yes, you heard me right not even sex. I live by the no excuse attitude. Once you start excepting excuses to miss a work out the next thing you know you wont ever be working out at all.
It's the little decisions that you make each and every day, compounded daily that will change your destiny forever.
Choose wisely, and start investing in your future today !

Is Your Water Toxic ?
We all take it for granted, but water it is the most precious commodity on planet earth. If you go a few days without it you will die, Most people know that you should take in that 8 glasses of water a day to be healthy, but no one told you that your tap water and majority of bottle water is polluted.
Your tap water is loaded with fluoride,chlorine plus hundreds of other contaminants. Research has proven when you take a shower your body absorbs more toxins than if you drank that 8 glasses of water. You can buy a shower filter at your local Home depot or Lowes to remove most of it.
If you use a shower filter you will notice that dry skin, caused by chlorine will disappear.Plus your hair will thank you for it, you should also notice your Energy levels and a feeling of well being will increase.
You can put a simular filter on your kitchen faucet and the water dispenser of your refrigerator. This is very important because you also cook with water and you can buy glass water bottles to refill and save money. Just make sure you boil the bottles in water ever couple of days.
If you want to know whats in your local tap water ask to see your city's annual water quality report for information.
Plastic Water Bottles are toxic, just let one get warm in your car and drink from it. If you taste anything other then claen water its leaching toxins into the water.
Unfortunately, those fabulous plastic bottles made with polycarbonate plastics and identified by the #7 recycling symbol, may leach BPA. Bisphenol A is a xenoestrogen, a known endocrine disruptor, meaning it disturbs the hormonal messaging in our bodies. Synthetic xenoestrogens are linked to breast cancer and uterine cancer in women, decreased testosterone levels in men, and are particularly devastating to babies and young children. BPA has even been linked to insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes.
If you have to use a plasitc bottle check the recycling symbol on your bottle. If it is a #2 HDPE (high density polyethylene), or a #4 LDPE (low density polyethylene), or a #5 PP (polypropylene), they say the bottle is fine. The type of plastic bottle in which water is usually sold is usually a #1, and is only recommended for one time use. Do not refill it. Better to use a reusable water bottle, and fill it with your own filtered water from home and keep these single-use bottles out of the landfill.
