World Heart Day is September 28th- how hard is your heart pumping?
Many people are nervous about all the bad foods they ingested in their 20's coming back and attacking them in their forties. While it's true that what you ingest when you are young plays a significant role in your health in later years- don't despair. It's never too late to get into shape. It's important to visit your practitioner before starting any health regimen so that you know what your body can handle. Of course cutting back on sweets, fast foods, and caffeine are all something you can do on your own.
Remember my 9 self-assessment factors to a healthy lifestyle:
1. body composition
2. level of exercise
3. quality of nutrition
4. dental care
5. sleep patterns
6. stress level ( VERY important)
7. capacity for leisure
8. mental state
9. substance abuse
You need to assume responsibility and find motivation to succeed in a better, healthy lifestyle.
So get moving, enlist support and build in some rewards- you'll be happy you did.
Your heart is what keeps you going- take care of it!!
