…… people should choose with their feet and just NOT GO anymore to FAST FOOD chains – PERIOD, no matter whether they are called McDonalds, Burger King, Super Macs or similar.
It’s all about EDUCATION EDUCATION and again EDUCATION and then taking
MASSIVE ACTION, eating – fresh / unprocessed food (organic if you can or
want to afford it). It’s all “relative” simple – it is like Nike says “Just Do It!”.
People have to wake up – take responsibility – it’s each individuals responsibility to
look after his or her health as best as they can …. you can’t always blame others
and let every tax payer fork out money for a health system that pays “god knows”
how much for the effects or perfectly preventable diseases.
Yes, some diseases are more likely genetic and probably hard to prevent, but obesity/body weight is in most cases something that every individual can control.
I hear it every day – clients come up with excuses why they can’t, won’t or are not able to exercises – chose veg and fruit over burgers and fries etc., we all have 24 hours in our day and each of us decides what she/he does with these 24 hours.
Take your diary out now and pencil in a reminder every e.g. Monday morning asking yourself something like “What three things can I do this week to live a healthier, more energetic, balanced and fit life that allows me to do all the things I inspire to do?” Write down the answers and schedule the necessary actions in your diary as you would do this an important clients or your boss and do them as planned –> ACTION ACTION ACTION!
