Living Healthy Doesn't Need A Membership Card
There are so many exercise and diet fads going around these days that it seems like living healthy is a new idea. We tend to get so caught up in the idea of living a healthy lifestyle that we forget that it is something people have been doing since the beginning of time.
This is truly depressing information. Despite being in a technological golden age people cannot manage to get the basics of a healthy lifestyle down pat. They think they need expensive club memberships or prepackaged foods to maintain a healthy standard of living. This is of course all rubbish. What it really takes is a personal commitment to your own well-being. It's an unpopular truth, but one that needs to be heard.
Everyone has the goal of living healthy, and yet many people miss the mark entirely. Some things to keep in mind with living a healthy lifestyle are the need for a balanced diet, plenty of sleep, regular exercise and not smoking. That last one is a big one, yet it's the one people have the most problems with.
These are very basic goals, yet they are incredibly difficult for most people to do. That's why we like to spend most of our time trying to do these things rather than simply doing them. We like to buy a health club memberships rather than walking, we like to buy lean microwavable dinners rather than chopping up a salad.
The cynical among us think that this points to a common problem amongst a lot of people. Evidence seems to indicate that people aren't interested in living healthy, rather they are interested in the process of trying to live healthy. That is to say they are much more interested in spending time and money on attempts at health then they are in just getting down to business and doing it. This is a shame when you consider just how easy it is to lead a healthy lifestyle; and yet in our consumer culture it is unsurprising. - 17269
