Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 With the posts on HFCS being the blame for so many people having bad health I want to point out what I think is the number one reason so many people are unhealthy today. Lifestyle. Since my wife and I have simplified our lives we have seen a huge difference in our energy and health. We now spend more time as a family, take walks out around the property and get more sleep since we don't stay up so late anymore. Our stress has also dropped. So many people live such a hectic life and has so much stress. I notice my boss and his "right hand woman" working very long hours and working 6 days a week. They practicly live to work and I see the unhappiness and stress in them. How many people have 2 or 3 jobs and work 50, 60, 70 hours a week just to pay bills? Then they take this extra money they make to buy more things to get more in debt. Then they complain that they are not making enough money and blame others for their debt. As I stated before, our physical labor isn't good for our bodies. It tears tissue, wears us down, and breaks down our immune system. Unfortunatly, we have to do physical labor. Fortunatly, our bodies are designed to take some abuse. But how much will our bodies take before it is overloaded and no longer repairs itself. In the past, after working hard all day the family would spend time and relax together. This no longer happens for most families today. Stress also takes a huge toll on the body. Too much stress can actually make you seriously ill and even lead you to the hospital. I feel stress is the worse thing for the body, mind and spirit and you should eliminate it out of your life. This is why my wife and I advocate so much for people to simplify their lives. Get rid of debt, work enough to support your family, and spend more time relaxing. Eliminate what isn't needed in your life. Just by doing this alone will improve your health, mind, and spirit. You will find that you need less medications and OTC Drugs.

And just because they don't argue, it doesn'tmean they do. Attachment: vcard [not shown] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
