A recent Gallup poll indicated that when it comes to weight loss Americans prefer to diet or take a weight loss pill than to exercise! While it is tempting to look for a quick fix there is no such thing as a magic potent to deep us at a healthy wight or to reduce our risk of weight related illness. And even more importantly, there was a reacent study published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association that would indicate that exercise is the most important component of all in reducing heart disease.
So what does that say to us individually? Are we afraid of exercise or so busy that we just can't work it into our schedules? It is time to stop and take an honest look at ourselves...ask yourself:
- "Am I caught in a quick fix cycle?"
- "Am I the healthiest I can be?
- "Do I feel good more days than not?"
- "Am I a slave to my diet routines?"
If you are not happy where you are then now is the time for a change. Call and make an appointment with your Physician at The Woman's Clinic and set a course for a new you in the new year!
