Childhood obesity is so fast on the rise in our county it sickens me. Obesity leads to type 2 diabetes, asthma, joint pain, heart attacks, depression which will eventually lead to early addictions and suicides all during childhood and early adulthood. I believe it's our responsibility to teach our future generations the value of health and wellness. That it is not someone else's responsibility to care for them, but to think to act and to choose to live a health conscious life. Because if we don't soon we are going to be an America without bike trails or walking paths and without sports.
The way I am going to change this in my community is by showing with my actions & sharing the positive effects of living a life of healthy choices, from the food we eat in our home, to relationships that we harvest, showing our exercise is not a burden but simply a part of our lifestyle like brushing our teeth and self appreciation as to where I am, where I want them to be and what we were created for and what we were made to achieve.
I invite you to join me by taking this seriously, taking this life challenge alongside me. Maybe it's a food overhaul, starting a healthy exercise habit, maybe it's building simple foundations for positive thinking to get you on the path that leads to the above. I welcome you to ask me and join me to make the changes you see necessary. I know I can help you and your family but are you ready to commit?
Two things I want you to remember:
Your healthcare starts in your kitchen and fitness starts with simply having the energy to play with your children.
