"Add Years To Your Life By Being Healthy" - There's A Shocker

Here's How To Add 14 Years To Your Life

A recent article in my local newspaper began with the above title. It was a study from London and the findings were if you eat lots of fruits and vegetables, don't smoke, exercise regularly, and drink alcohol in moderation, you can add 14 extra years to your life.

Basically, the testers tracked around 20,000 people in the UK and for each of the four qualities I just mentioned gave them a point. So, if you did all four, you would have four points. These were based on questionnaires given to the participants between 1993 and 1997.

Then they tracked the deaths of the people through 2006 and found that if you had a total of 4 points you were 4 times less likely to die, then if you scored zero.

The researchers said that the 14 years was a theoretical number, but the overall point is if you can maintain a healthy lifestyle you potentially can live a better life than if you don't.

I appreciate the work these researchers put into this study, but wake up people. This is what I and fitness professionals like me have been preaching. What the heck are you waiting for? Don't procrastinate, get your butt in gear.

It's the beginning of the year, get rid of all your excuses, and get in shape. My ears are starting to hurt from the excuses. I don't want to hear them any more. Improve your lifestyle today and take control of your life.

If you are too tired to work out, then start working out so you won't be tired.

If you have no energy, then start working out.

If you are too depressed, then start working out and get your endorphins going through your body.

I know the key to handling stress and getting through life, it is exercise and nutrition.

I get seven hours sleep if I'm lucky. I start my day at 6am and I'm done at 8pm. I take my daughter to school, then have to deal with the pressures of running a business. So when you tell me you are too busy, have too much stress, whatever...I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!

I have problems too, but exercise helps me get through the day and survive these problems. I'm not as tired because I work out, eat right, and I am able to handle the stress easier because of it.

You can do the same thing. Let's make 2008 your best year yet!
