Which one of these scenarios seem really happy?
1) Collapsing at work or home.
2) Doctor giving you a report that you have only a short time to live.
3) Hospital bills eating into your finances.
4) Lying cut open on an operating table.
5) Living day in and day out with a life threatening disease.
Are you happy and smiling at these scenarios?
In each of these lets also add the faces of your beautiful family and children. Can you see their faces at each of these scenarios? Are they really happy and smiling?
Think about it before you answer..................... I'll wait. You are probably saying, 'Gideon, whats the matter with you? Those scenarios are disgusting and no one would be smiling at any of those' To which my reply is, 'EXACTLY! So why are you living like that?'
Many people are ticking bombs and the sad part is they don't even know it. Some are worse - they know it but are too lazy or at least that is their excuse. It really is sad because these people have a lot of unfinished responsibility, got beautiful families, got a whole life ahead of them and are heading towards disaster.
Issues of Unhealthy Body Fat.
1) Lifestyle related diseases are killers. Unhealthy fat stored in the body is a major cause of these diseases. Do you realize that the more unhealthy fat content you have shoots up the work load on your heart? It also stays in your body and causes hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cancers, etc.... This is why its so important to lose unhealthy body fat.
2) The more amount of fat around your waist the greater is the risk of lifestyle related disease. Remember however this is only one indicator.
3) The more fat you have on your upper body as well adds to the issue of problems with the knees, ankles and feet.
4) Excess fat also causes more estrogen to be produced in the body and more estrogen in turn signals your body to produce more fat and this enters a fatal cycle.
If you do not do something about your fat content the facts are straight forward.............You are a time bomb waiting to go off in any disastrous direction and you do not even know when!
The Good News:
I really am not a doomsday prophet. That is why I offer up the solutions I have seen work and has been proven over the years. Lifestyle related diseases can be avoided if corrective measures start early. They can also be controlled and now some studies are finding out they can also be reversed.
All it takes is prioritizing and a long hard look at your life to decide what you want. Fitness should be a part of your life because your body is designed for it. The first thing you should be aiming for is getting rid of the fat. Get your body fat checked. Its hard to know where you are headed until you
1) Locate yourself
2) Know where you are going.
Do a body composition check. There are a variety of ways the reliable and common ways being skin fold thickness measurements by body calipers and bio-electrical impedance devices. I use the Omron HBF 306 Body Fat analyser. Once you know that you can get a plan to burn fat. Ideally, body fat should be between 12%-18% for men and women should be between 21% to 24%. Fat loss is a simple procedure. It might not be easy getting there but it is simple. I have covered this is my post 'Fat Loss made simple'.
I really hope I this post motivates those who needs it to immediate action............burn off the fat, stay alive!
Time is ticking...............tick-tock......tick-tock........
