Healthcare Systems and You

Here it is the first week of 2011 and some of us are already struggling to keep on track with our resolutions. When people are asked about what they would like to change about their lives, most of them say health and wealth. Those are the two biggest issues in our lives today. One of the biggest health problems in America today is the state of being overweight. Some of us have a small problem, maybe 10-15 pounds that need to be shed. Some of us have bigger weight problems but we all need to be aware of this if we want to live long, healthy lives.So one of the first steps is to determine your goals. What is it that you really want to accomplish. If it is simply losing weight, that is a fairly simplistic endeavor. If one thinks about this a bit, one realizes that a lot of benefits could be achieved if one carried this a bit further. Yes, it is good to lose weight but first of all, that will be a struggle if one does not combine this with exercise. The exercise will promote better health in addition to assisting you with weight loss. We want to be healthier, to feel better and to have more energy.We are going to take this step by step so we don’t get so overwhelmed by this resolution. Make a plan. Write down how much weight you want to lose and expand this to some other goals. What we are looking for is a life change program. If you didn’t want change, you wouldn’t be reading this. So…every day, keep this resolution in mind. Stop before you begin to eat; think about what is good for you. Then start with some exercise. Simply walking at first will make you feel better.We can get into more later. We are here to help each other and we can if we do it in manageable steps.
