Revised January 1, 2015
Optimal health, and lowered incidence of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and infections can be ours if we change our lifestyle. So can a toned body, excellent posture, robust libido, and beautiful clear skin.
Improving our lifestyles can make a big difference, and there are many improvements that we can make.
We will go on that journey together.
But it is also true, and important to realize, that our freedom to choose healthy alternatives is limited. We can choose to not smoke, and we can choose to not eat foods containing the most fat, sugar, and/or chemical contaminants and preservatives. But we cannot readily choose to live in an unpolluted world, nor can we find foods that have not in some way been contaminated with toxins.
We can, however, avoid the worst, and that is well worth doing.
Many decisions that affect our health are made by government officials, corporate executives, landlords, neighbors, and friends. We are more likely to choose a healthy lifestyle if society encourages healthy choices, but too often that is not the case, so we have that extra hurdle to clear. In some respects, healthy options are not affordable or not even available.
Thus, changing your lifestyle to achieve better health may involve not only improving your diet and getting more exercise, for example, but also becoming active in demanding a cleaner environment, better quality drinking water, healthier food at an affordable price, and other positive social and economic changes.
When it comes to achieving the best that we can for a healthy and happy life, we need to be aware of 1) what we can do now, and also 2) what we must strive to be able to do in the future.
To that end, we will share relevant information, both from the research laboratories, and from the laboratories of life.
That is the surest and most comprehensive path for us to travel to reach the goal of becoming Health Achievers.
