TIMES
HAVE CHANGED
In the beginning
man worked hard to survive. He had many things to do. Hunting,
keeping warm, finding berries, and taking care of his family.
He did not have time to worry about being fat, as there wasn't
an issue of fat. It was survival of the fittest, those that
were not fit, perished, or had someone to watch over them.
Man's goal was survival.
Women labored
hard, and many died in childbirth. There were many deaths
of their infants, so women kept reproducing to keep the family
surviving. They scrubbed, cooked, gathered food and wood
and tended after the children. They did not have time to
worry about things that made them happy or not happy. Their
goal was survival.
Well, times have
changed, people don't work physically as hard as their ancestors
did, they lose less children and the dying in labor has been
brought down to a small percentage. Emergency hospitals with
ambulances and new technology and medicines have saved the
lives of countless people.
Most families
plan on 1 to 3 children and now to keep up with the economy
(or the Jones') there are usually two working parents for
those children. Men are learning skills that were unheard
of for men 50 years ago. They are doing household chores,
changing diapers, picking kids up at daycare, and doing a
whole lot more bonding with their children in the child's
infant stages.
In the bustle
of an age of living and learning at a light speed compared
to their ancestors, people start worrying about their health.
With the information highway thick with one company after
another along with the vast info commercials, it is hard
to decide what vitamins you need, what foods should you eat,
and how much exercise you need. And, even what ratio of fats,
carbohydrates, and proteins should you feed your body and
your family's bodies. It takes a lot of reading and trying
to figure it all out.
Living
a Healthier life is rather simple. It is the matter of knowing some essential
ingredients to happiness.
Statistics
tell you the following:
- Those that
are married are far happier than those that are not
- Those
that have some kind of faith or religion are happier
- Those
that go to bed at night and sleep an average of 8 hours
- Those
that have friends and family
- Those that
are mentally and physically healthy
- Those that
have a regular schedule to live by
Sure, having extra
money makes people happier too. However, the above ingredients
are the true essence of happiness. Money just adds extra.
Having money and not the above can end up feeling pretty
empty.
Knowing how and
what to eat, can make a huge difference in how you feel.
Improper eating habits can cause depression, overweight,
illness and an overall lethargy.
Sure, when you
are young you can throw junk into your body, it is growing
and it is generally a busy body, provided it has some nutrition
along with the junk. But after awhile your body just can't
handle it anymore. Those years of bad eating add up. Soon,
the arteries get clogged, the cholesterol goes up, nights
without sleep and partying add up... and soon you wake up
and you wonder what the heck happened to your energy and
your youth.
Being young is
great, but youth is only for like a 4th of your life. The
rest of it is plain aging, and fighting that downhill battle.
An older person who has taken care of themselves over the
years, wakes up just as bouncy as a young person. They are
excited to see the new day, and are alert to the world and
full of pep. Being old does
not mean you have to be sick. It also doesn’t mean you can’t
be beautiful. Don't forget to wake up in the morning and
think positive thoughts. People who live in families who
compliment each other live happier lives. Find something
positive and reinforcing to your loved ones every single
day.
Let’s talk about
changing your eating and exercising habits. You can do this.
Do not try to change everything at once, unless you are just
one of those rare individuals that can do that.
We start
with our diet. Diet does not mean just losing weight. Diet means
the food you put in your daily eating habits. A rule of thumb
for eating habits are...don't eat more calories than you
consume. Don't go one single day without doing something
extra and physical for at least 30 minutes per day. This
can be three ten minute walks. Or 30 minutes of vigorous
aerobics, or 12 minutes of weight lifting and 18 minutes
of walking.
