Is it possible for you to be healthy? And what does that even mean?
Do you even think that you can become healthy or is that for others who have the 'right" DNA? Do you look at others and think, "lucky them, they have good genes"? I know I have done that, most of my life, and I didn't even think I had much to do with my own health/fitness/body composition. It was simply the cards I was dealt. I, and those of you who currently think this (be honest now), couldn't be more wrong! BUT.............it isn't our fault!!!!! We are inundated with information telling us that disease is inevitable, it's just a matter of time before we get diabetes, obesity, cancer, dementia, or any number of chronic diseases. Ubiquitous misinformation is the norm, and supported by our sickness, (oops), I mean "health industry". One of my favorite (gag me with a spoon) commercials is for "heart healthy" Honey Nut Cheerios. It touts the benefits of this highly processed cereal, which is consumed with tons of sugar and also itself just turns to sugar in your gut, producing a high insulin response, which we know causes fat storage and insulin resistance. We see and hear of all these wonderful new drugs(all of which have drastic side effects) that simply try to treat or manage the symptoms, no idea of the causes, which mostly can be reversed by simple life-style changes. Our bodies are constantly working for us to survive another day. We eat too much sugar, it stores it as fat to use later on for energy. But if we continue eating tons of sugar, we never use up the stored sugar and continue to store it as fat so we don't go comatose with too much. There are ways to return to health! It is our birth-rite and our sacred duty to ourselves, our community, and our ancestors to value what has been handed down to us! But we have to believe that health is indeed possible for us. Maybe even take a step toward health by cutting back a bit on poisonous processed foods that have a shelf life of like forever, cutting way back on sugar, (no sugar is not the innocent little darling that we are told 24/7 by monied interests!), sleeping more, (8 hrs if possible, if not then get a nap where possible), upping are protein intake, (using regenerative animal products as much as possible), and moving much more, including reducing butt time, (lol, you know, not sitting so much). Well enough ranting for now! Take your health back! Yes you can! You must!! No one else can do it for you. much love!!!!! Rich Couchpotatoprimalfit@gmail.com changing the world one person at a time
