BUMPY ROAD AHEAD
BUMPY ROAD AHEAD
From the time I was in the eighth grade I was on some sort of diet. After college it was a game every new year to make a resolution that this was going to be the year to get lean, trim and healthy. I have tried most every diet to hit the market
. In 1977 I wrote a diet book titled “Give up the fat-The diet fat to fit kit.” For about six months I travelled around the country giving talks, appearing on TV and giving interviews to reporters. It was my 15 minutes of fame.
Then I hit a bump in the road. One customer said loudly and often that she read the book three times and gained weight. My logic had been so brilliant. If you eat less calories than your body burns you will lose weight. It never crossed my mind that if you kept this up for an extended amount of time you would starve to death.
Some of last year diets reappear, and new fantabulous ones hit the market every New year. Old actors,“has been football players” ,and talk show folks are new fish in the diet market waters. It is the economy big push to get the after Christmas market a boost. The bump in the road hits right about now. Getting seven meals a day in the US mail to lose hundreds of pounds and look like a…. well you know the drill. The odds for success are about the same as winning the lottery. Got your ticket? The drawing is big this week.
On June 12, 2016 I started walking every day. Then the routine of eating seven or more fresh and fresh frozen fruits and veggies and nut was becoming a habit. Drinking more water and less sugar drinks ended up with lots of water and no sugar drinks. I began watching what was good stuff to eat and what was not so good. There were less bumps in the road. Some weeks I lost a couple pounds, sometimes lost none, and even some weeks gained a pound. I felt better, my blood pressure was getting under control.
When there is a bump in the road, I get directions from those who have been there. My top Doctor of 25 years runs two miles in the morning and evening on the treadmill. My sports Doctor has run seventeen Boston Marathons. I have had the opportunity to travel to eight Iron man and women events in the US, observe them and ask their advice.
Long ago I stopped asking advice from diet sellers and get my answers from those who walk their talk. Great athletes are consistent. They teach that is OK to fail but not OK to quit. They work at what they do, then do it better.
When there is a bump in the road, Drink lots of water, eat good food, walk briskly, and get a good night’s sleep.
Have a Happy Healthy Week.
STICK WITH THE BASICS
STICK WITH THE BASICS
We are getting overwhelmed with information. A lot of what we hear and read is not true. Some of this information is deliberate lies to mislead and put harmful products into the health and wellness market. We hear and see more of this propaganda every day in news, tv, advertising and social media.
This machine we call our body has three parts. On the top is the NOGIN, our control center. It gets data from five things. With ears we hear sound, with eyes we see, with a nose we smell, with a mouth we taste and with our skin we touch. SOUND SIGHT SMELL TASTE and FEEL. A fat lazy muscle called the brain computes this data and does all kind of things with it.
The next part of the body is our insides, and it is called the GUT. It is the location of all the machinery that gets us moving and shaking and blowing and going. This gut needs two fuels, water and food. If the water is not clean and or if the food is not good then there are problems with the muscles, tubes and pipes that make this gut machine run smoothly. There are two essential requirements to make the gut run right, motion and sleep. If there is no motion the machine slowly quits running, and if it doesn’t get enough sleep, it loses its oomph and just quits. Then we fade away into the sunset.
The stuff on the outside that is left over is what I call the DIGITALS. There are normally two arms and two legs and with all the hookups needed to respond and react to the five senses that react and respond to the gut and noggin.
This body we have is the greatest machine ever created. It is a gift and the two of us have so few things we are responsible for. Once we get born, it will take at least twelve to eighteen years for most of us to get good water and food on our own. The world is get better at getting clean water and better food. The data shows people are living longer.
There are two basics that are being ignored in USA. Diabetes type 2 and obesity. The data is becoming clearer every day. A major cause of type 2 diabetes is obesity. A major cause of obesity is over consumption of processed sugar drinks. This is not going to be solved by government regulation. The cigarette problem was not solved by politicians, they just put a tax on tobacco. They are already starting to “sin” tax soda pop. The prescription drug, medical, and food processing industries will not stop this epidemic.
The solution is basic. It is simple. Drink more water, and less sugar drinks, then drink more water and a lot less sugar drinks, and finally drink water and no sugar drinks.
Take good care of this Magnificent Machine we call our Body.
It’s the BASICS.
