I heard this great saying over the weekend..…
And it really made me think (yeh, dangerous I know)
It was this….
‘Sanity over Vanity’
You see, when it comes to exercise and dieting,
This sums things right up for a lot of people.
Check this, I know some people who exercise and diet, just so they can eat what they want without worrying about putting weight on.
Some people do it for pure VANITY, because they want to LOOK good.
Some people do it because it makes them FEEL good…..
But some people (the smart ones), they do it for HEALTH reasons. (The Sanity bit)
And THIS my friend is one of the BEST reasons to start looking after your body.
Quite a few years back now, I worked for the local authority doing exercise on prescription (GP referral)
Training people with health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and much more….
Exercise is great for preventing and reversing MANY health condition btw
Anyhoo, One of the measurements we used (and I still use to this day) was something called the ‘Waist to Hip ratio’
Basically, taking a measurement of your waist and hips and dividing them in to each other….
A score of less than 0.9 means you are in the healthy range…
A score of 1.0 and over puts you in the ‘at risk’ category
If you don’t know what I mean, basically having your waist (the measurement around your midsection) higher than your hips….
Means you are at a HIGHER risk of lifestyle related diseases like heart disease, diabetes and MUCH more…
It’s even been linked to a higher mortality rate.
(according to the ‘World Health Organisation’ by the way!)
In fact, one of the more recent studies shows that obesity is the second highest cause of Cancer after cigarettes!
All this increased risk, just by carrying more weight around your mid section.
Basically, what I’m saying is…..
Yes, we all want to LOOK good and FEEL good, but if you really want motivation to start looking after yourself…
Maybe it’s time to start think about your HEALTH
If you can’t find the motivation to start taking care of yourself for VANITY reasons…
Maybe it’s time to start thinking about SANITY reasons.
Like I say to ALL my members….
‘The biggest wealth, is HEALTH’
Don’t wait until it’s too late, start investing in YOUR health today….
