With the holiday season upon us people spend even more of their time thinking about others and doing for others rather than for themselves. That is what is expected during the holidays of course but what about the rest of the year?
For most people life seems so hectic taking care of all that must be done to survive that they entirely forget about taking care of their body. The body becomes a forgotten factor until and unless a medical appointment bearing bad news brings it front and center. As long as the body continues to carry people around while they take care of everything but it, it is forgotten altogether.
The result of this lifestyle is a time in history where lack of fitness and weight issues and diseases and conditions related to it dominate the medical field. Those bodies that were forgotten are left for doctors to resolve the problems created from a lifetime of not placing the self first. The problem with that result is doctors can’t cure the conditions created by a lifetime of neglect.
A lifestyle that lacks regular exercise and controlled weight over time creates issues of diabetes, high blood pressure, some cancers including colon cancer, heart problems, asthma and arthritis. On the other hand a lifestyle that includes regular care of the body through consistent exercise and controlled weight enjoys highly reduced risks of developing these life destructive diseases and illnesses along with a lesser incidence of issues related to depression and anxiety.
While you are running around this holiday season thinking of everyone but yourself don’t forget to start caring about the self. If you have not taken care of yourself they way you should be through a regular exercise routine and reducing weight to safe level that is within normal ranges, know that it is never too late to start doing so.
Unless a real disability prevents it there is no such thing as an impossible case and everyone has the ability to not only reduce their weight to normal levels but they also have the ability to engage in regular exercise. If you have spent time ignoring your body believing that you are an impossible case due to prior failed efforts to improve your health through exercise and weight loss, the truth is that you likely did not sustain an effort to improve your weight and take care of the needed regular exercise requirement long enough to realize the results that will occur with a constant regular effort over time.
In this fast paced society that expects everything to happen overnight the reality about the human body is that it makes changes slowly. Achieving a total fitness result and or weight loss takes months to years to achieve. But with the real need of every human body to engage in regular exercise, if you fulfill that need, you will eventually not only experience reduced weight and a fit body but you will be able to sustain that healthy reality forever.
There is control over your reality when it comes to your body and everyone not only has the ability in them to do it but also the body chemistry that will make it happen when the effort is consistent over time. Make time for yourself, make time for your body, and enjoy a life that avoids being forced later to spend time buying prescriptions and visiting the doctor regularly to take care of the problems that neglect of the self created.
If you don’t make time for yourself now, you will end up being forced to make time for yourself later when you are forced to face the consequence of neglect of the self. Make the right decision now and start a schedule of regular exercise and weight loss management and you will have a happier life and a better life guaranteed. Now that’s a goal worth taking time out for!

Diet is a Four Letter Word
By: Addie Scott | 15/06/2007 | Weight Loss
The word "diet", just like all those other four-letter words, is whispered in a kind of hush. It slips off one's tongue reluntantly. It stirs up feelings of dread and doom and makes one feel defeated even before one starts. What a shame; it doesn't have to carry so much weight or have so much power. We, the people, need to take the reins and steer the course we intend on taking.

Concerned about my wonderful son
By: Christopher | 10-07-2008
My ex wife called me frantically, explaining that she is extremely worried about our just turned 13 year old son. He just returned from basketball camp, where for 7 days he was with his friends and team mates. After the inevitable lockerroom and shower banter, my son is extremely depressed over the what he believes is the lack of development of his sexual organs. My wife tells me he is very depressed. Should we worry? He complains his penis is very very small and still no hair growth? Should I take him to a doctor, should he take hormones or is 13 still too young to be worried?

40 years old. not 100% after PRK (-0.75) . Retreatment or keep it like this?
By: tslh | 09-07-2008
I got PRK surgery and I'm quite happy with the results: I came from -8.75, cylinder 1.50 and now I'm -0.75. Now I can do a retreatment and end up beeing a perfect zero (I hope) but I read different stories: some people say that, at my age, it's better to keep my eyes the way they are so I won't be needing reading glasses soon. According to them your eyes get 'better' (or more toward zero) when you get older. So, should I be happy with that little 'gap' so I have some 'space' towards zero? Or is this story untrue/not relevant?
