subject: How Your Daily Choices Can Make You Sick, Fat, and Tired [print this page] Most of us have bank accountsMost of us have bank accounts. They are pretty straight forward, expenses are coded as debits and incomeis coded as credit. We all balance our bank accounts on a regular basis to ensure that we are not going overdrawn or in thered. While doing so we make choices. We choose to spend our money on fixed costs (rent, utilities, etc) as well as variable costs (movies, clothes, etc). We make those same exact choices with our habits and health. We choose to eat junk food or clean healthy food. We choose to exercise or not to exercise. We choose to get enough sleep or very little. All of these choices that we make every day correlate to a traditional bank account. Each time we choose to eat junk food, not exercise, be stressed out is like an expense in our health account. Each time we choose to eat right, exercise, sleep well, avoid stress its like depositing income in our health account. The choices we make have a accumulative affect on our health (I know pretty obvious). The more times we choose bad health habits the more expenses we incur in our account.
How often are we aware of how many bad transactions we have versus positive transactions? Days tend to blur together, so do weeks and months and wemust at the very least spot check our habits. If we don't the more likelywe will go into theredwith our health accounts. The longer we are in theredthe greater the chance our bodies will be pushed into a state of malfunction. Malfunction leads to symptoms which leads to serious health complications as time goes on.
Take one day this week, just one and track how many positive health choices you make versus negative health choices. What will be the outcome? Did you make more positive versus negative choices or vice versa? Did you balance out?
