Yes it is true, the body changes as we get older, that is a fact. We do not look as hot as we used to when we were younger, and fat is in every place that we never used to worry about when we were younger.

Our metabolism is not as high as it used to be, and our digestive system has also changed. There are of course other reasons that we can use that we know affects our bodies like hormonal changes, but wait! Stop with the excuses already.

What we know for a fact also is that if you eat too much, if do not exercise and if you drink a lot of alcohol, you will gain weight. This fact has nothing to do with your age, it has everything to do with the stuff you put inside your body.

There are lot of old people, some way older than I am that are in better shape than me. They are fit and they are healthy. So do not use your age as an excuse for being overweight. Ask yourself what you can do differently to have a healthy body. What sets them apart from the rest of us?

I know you know the answer to that. It is their lifestyle and the choices they have made for themselves. The poor choices that we make for our lives make it even harder for us to have a good quality of life. Being overweight and obese comes with a lot of other diseases that are detrimental to your health.

Remember a poor lifestyle comes with a lot of problems, and can shorten ones life. Treating your body right will ensure that that same body will take care of you also. The benefits of good food choices and exercise are not only just about looking good and feeling great, but it also ensures a great healthy body later in your life. Besides the added healthy benefits of being fit and healthy, you will get to save a lot of money on doctors and medicines in your later life.

If you had to choose between a life where you were dependent on medicines and  a life where you were healthy, which one would it be? Of course we would all choose to be healthy. For some reason, some people will wait until a doctor diagnoses them with a life threatening disease for them to allow that change in their lives.

That is no way to live. We should all try and be pro active and prevent things instead of reacting to situations when they happen. No matter how old you are, whatever age you are, there are always benefits from choosing good nutrition and exercise.

There is no better time like the present to do something that will benefit your life and that of your family. Reducing that body fat, eating healthy and getting fit have been proven to add years to one’s life. Not only that, you will be able to turn back the clock and look younger than your peers.

Best advise that I can give you right now is to stop making excuses. Put plans in place to improve our nutrition. Start on an exercise program. Don’t put it off, start today.

You can start light, with walking or cycling or swimming or whatever activity you like, and you can build up as you get fitter. If you need more information or have any questions, please email me at lisa@gearup4success-today.com.
