NUTRITION: HEALTH AND WEALTH
The Healthy Save…How Much Do You Spend?
More than 50% of Doctors’ visits are nutrition related. Have you ever wondered why people who are Healthy spend less time and money with doctors and prescriptions? In fact, the Healthier you are the more you earn, save and the less you spend.
Imagine for a moment, you are Healthy! Think about what this would mean to you. There are no more medications to take, energy level is high, productivity increases, earnings go up, you spend more time with family, friends, and activities you like, going to Church, Travel, Sports, and quite possible be a model for others. Being approached by total strangers, getting compliments on your Looks, Confidence and wanting to find out your secret. And you nonchalantly respond, “Its Nutrition or Proper Nutrition”. That’s all, your big secret is being aware of what you feed your Body!
Attaining this goal is not as difficult as you may think. To achieve Optimum Health, you need to have a plan that includes proper, healthy nutrition as its foundation. Good sound nutrition is composed of Vitamins, Minerals, Proteins, Complex Carbohydrates, Fiber, Antioxidants, Amino Acids, etc. Equally important are the not so good or excess in Fats, Salt, Preservatives, Food Coloring, Cholesterol, Triglycerides and my favorite “3 Ws” White Rice, White Sugar and White Flour that has had all their nutrients stripped away only leaving Starch and Simple Carbohydrates.
A typical female requires about 1600 calories and a male about 2000 calories daily. Getting all your nutrients without exceeding these boundaries is the Key and Challenge to make it all happen. Understanding and taking responsibility for everything you consume Meals, Snacks and Beverage; be aware! Read labels, ask questions, get information on line, know the food groups, have variety and portion control.

It feels absolutely great to achieve Optimum Health. However, the journey to getting there is more of challenge to most. It is not suppose to be like that. You need three things in my opinion be teachable, believe in yourself and apply what you learn. Know labels, calories, what are the ingredients in foods with proper nutrition. Make choices that you know in your heart is beneficial for you. Pass these along to family and friends. Support each other. Rely and help each other. The little decisions you make today will have a huge impact on your life.
