Do you wake up every morning and attack your day with a smile? Do you have a good relation- ship with your food and exercise? What does living a healthy lifestyle mean to you? According to the latest government statistics, despite the recent push to improve the American diet and increase exercise, national obesity rates in the U.S. haven’t budged much over the past few years. In 2010, about 35.7% of U.S. adults — nearly 78 million people — were obese. That’s up from 30.5% in 2000, but not much of a difference from 33.7% in 2008. Staggering news! What’s worse is that many health conditions can be prevented. What I find most alarming is that many Americans don’t make time to improve their health, until it’s often too late. Although, we are fed daily with the media advertising an unhealthy lifestyle, it doesn’t mean we have to succumb to the pressure. It’s simply a CHOICE to say NO to“super-sized” meals with empty calories, fad diets, reasons to not exercise, liposuction and lap-band surgery. --What are your rules for eating healthy and exercise for life? --How have you transformed your health with food and exercise? Life is short, so you might as well make the most of your time, right? After all, it’s all about your health which affects every facet of your life.
