Advantages Of Adversity

Adversity makes us uneasy, we either retreat and become a victim or fight and become a victor.

Good health takes work, but so does bad health. Challenges are to make us better not bitter,
we are to do the best with what we have.

There Is No Secret To Good Health

Good health comes down to plain, good common sense. There is a heavy price to pay for neglecting the easy things that we can do for good health. Keeping fit is not a tedious job.

Is it better to be able to walk, and not walk, or not able to walk at all ? The decision not to walk is worst. Because you can and you want.

Giving your body good, wholesome food is easier than doping it with artificial stimulants.
Making better choices on a daily basis will lead you on the road to health &Fitness.

What's Up Americans

Eighty five percent of Americans are on some type of prescription drug. Just about as many have no exercise program, and they have terrible eating habits. We wonder why health care
is so costly, and we refuse to take better care of ourselves.

We can send men to the moon, but we can't figure out that our actions and the lack of physical activity is a major cause of health care increases.

Imagine what would happen , if everyone went on a mission to to get into their best shape ever!

We would go to doctors for routine check-ups instead of sickness.

If we do all that we can to take care of ourselves, and we become ill, at least we will have done our part.
