Have you ever felt trapped by your family history?
Many of us were raised by loving, well-meaning parents, many
of whom had very bad health habits. Perhaps our parents
smoked cigarettes, followed unhealthy diets, lived with too
much stress or one of a hundred other things that we know
today will rob us of the quality of our lives.
This thought leads us to the next logical idea ... what type
of family history are we creating for OUR children?
The good news is this. No matter what type of home you were
raised in or what habits you have formed up to now, you can
start a new family history beginning today! And the Internet
will help.
To begin with, it's fair to say that everyone wants to live
in good health. Given a choice of being well or being ill,
what would you choose?
Let's look together at three powerful ways to begin a new
family history today and how the Internet can help us reach
that goal.
1. Vitamins and supplements. For over 25 years the idea
of a "one time per day" multi vitamin had been thought
to be good enough. Now we know that, while this is a
good starting point, it's just not enough for today's
busy lifestyle.
The good news is that there are web sites a plenty that
can help you find the right balance of vitamins for
you. Look for sites that offer lists of "symptoms"
(like 'sleepy all the time' or 'hard to get out of bed
in the morning') and then go on to offer specific
information about how to overcome those challenges.
2. Exercise. Another multi-billion dollar industry that
excels in selling products. Look for sites that offer
information specific to your life. A great first step
is to write down your current situation. Are you over
50? Under 20? In great shape now? Can't make a flight
of stairs without stopping?
The good news here is that there are lots of web sites
that offer very practical advise no matter your current
condition. From simple things you can do while sitting
down to how to train for your next marathon, the
information is available and free to all with a dial up
connection.
3. Foods. Food used to be just food. Now there are
super-foods and foods that help you accomplish specific
goals. You can find a wealth of great information
online about foods that help in specific ways.
Did you know there are chocolates that actually help
you lose weight? How about foods that help your brain
function and improve memory too? All of this and more
is not only possible but is happening now.
The bottom line is this. Your health matters. How you choose
to live today will be reflected in the lives of your
children. In 2003 we are blessed with an abundance of free
information to help us create a healthy, happy family
history for our children and improve our everyday lives as
well.
With great health comes the freedom to make more money,
enjoy the rich relationships we all cherish, try new and
exciting activities and more. The tools are all at your
disposal.
Make 2003 your best year yet. Take time to evaluate where
you stand now, where you want to be, and how to cross that
divide. Dare to dream and your dreams will come true!
