Hello and welcome to

Title: 3 Critical
Choices To Make In This 2018 - Choose Health
All through this month of
January 2018, I have taken you through the path of the things to do to make it
a really awesome year. The year in which you shall live like you have never
lived before, the year of your freedom from whatever has held you bound, a year
of release from captivity.
In wrapping up the things
to do for 2018 to be great, over the next 3 days, I shall be discussing the 3
critical choices you really have to make (along side others of course) to
ensure that you happen to life this year.
Today I am discussing -
Choose Health
It is obvious that without
health, whatever else we are or plan to be come to nought; for anyone to
acquire wealth, for anyone to have a prospering career, for anyone to move up
on the ladder of corporate responsibility, they must be healthy in the first
place and that is why it is popularly said that "health is the first
wealth" or that "health is wealth"
But it is very surprising
how many of us take our health for granted to the extent that we neglect it in
the pursuit of wealth and pleasures of life only to turn round when life is
ebbing to use the wealth to try and acquire our health again which sometimes
become so very late.
So today I want to ask you
to Choose Health - it surely is for your own good.
One of the major things to implement
in the choose health roadmap is Physical Exercise.
Most people take up exercise
because they want to lose weight or tone up their bodies e.t.c and these are
valid reasons to start exercising.
BUT! Exercise is also important
for our mental health.
I encourage every anxiety
patient who walks through my door to exercise.
WHY?
Because exercise is one of the
best and cheapest natural stress busters out there!
Yes, exercise takes discipline
and yes it can be hard work, but that’s what gets our feel-good hormones rip
roaring through our bodies!
Do you choose health?
Ultimately, whether you
exercise or not, boils down to CHOICE.
What’s more important to you?
Do you choose to lie in bed an extra 30 minutes and risk disease or do you
choose health and feel like a million dollars?
And, By The Way, not having
enough time for exercise is as lame an excuse as they come.
We all have the same 24 hours
in the day. Use them productively and you’ll find the time to exercise.
I have here a list of 10
reasons to choose health this year:
especially in making exercise a
priority?
1. The year has come with its own fair share of stressors and things
that make us want to just throw in the towel; in some climes stress levels can
go through the roof after the festivities that mark the end of the last year
that the first few weeks of the new year witness a spike in suicidal attempts
and divorce rates.
Exercise helps to beat stress
and anxiety.
When we are working out, we’re
pumping oxygen and blood around our bodies.
Oxygen and blood are full of
life-giving nutrients that we need to live our best lives. It basically eats up
the stress hormones that we flood our bodies with all too often.
2. You want to look and feel good in your skin for the time of year
when most photos are taken and family and friends finally carve out the time to
get together.
3. Exercise makes us feel great! When we exercise our brain releases
a chemical called dopamine.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter
concerned with the pleasure centre of the brain.
Dopamine helps us to find the
motivation to make exercise a regular activity.
4. Exercise gets our hearts pumping and increases our rate of
breathing.
As a consequence it floods our
bodies with the nutrients we need to stay healthy.
And when we’re healthy, we feel
happier, and when we’re happier, we tend to have more energy.
5. Sleep is improved because exercise helps us to cope with stressors
more easily and a relaxed mind will sleep more deeply.
6. Exercise boosts your confidence. Your confidence will soar when
you are happy in your own skin.
7. Exercise gives you mental as well as physical strength.
It boosts your sense of
self-esteem and creates an inner confidence in your ability to live your best
life.
It makes you shine from the
inside out.
8. Exercise makes your muscles do what nature intended.
Remember that all muscles are
expected to spend energy to be in good shape and tone and so if you fail to use
your muscles they begin to atrophy and over the years thin out and thus unable
to support you if you live into some good age.
Do you have any idea of the
amount of people who tweak their backs, picking up a pen off the floor?
9. Exercise could well prolong your life and will cut down on your
health care costs.
Regular exercise can help
prevent Heart Disease, Cancer, Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, Osteoporosis, Arthritis
and much more.
Prevention is better than cure.
Infact prevention is not only
better than cure, it is cheaper than cure in the long run
10. Exercise confers on you a voracious appetite and if you choose to
eat healthily, you would consume the necessary calories your body needs and
also burn them out to be in excellent health.
There is
no time like the present. Why not give yourself the gift of health this New
Year? Choose health
