Most Important Change to Protect Your Health UPDATE

We would like to thank Rick Riess for his presentation on the important changes to make to protect your health at our networking event last week. It was informative on the past studies that have been conducted over the years with amazing results! Over the decades, the amount of labor that went into one persons' day of activities has been reduced greatly with the advancement of technology. A simple load of laundry takes little or no energy compared to hand washing the clothes, and hanging them out to dry. Escalators and elevators replace the benefits of stairs throughout shopping malls and tall buildings. SpeedWalks in airports cut out the extra steps that could change the outcome of our good health. Even a TV Remote control takes away the exercise available in changing the channel! An important change one can make is adding 10 minutes of a simple walk to your day. Certainly walking longer is beneficial, but studies show that the first 10 minutes of any walk can reduce your risk of Heart Disease, Stroke, Dementia, Diabetes etc. significantly. Walking on a treadmill can be equal to a stroll outside if you add about a 3% incline to your treadmill. It wasn't just about adding an extra walk to your day. Rick covered some strategies on how to actually take your idea of wanting to live a healthier life and how to put it into action. Set some goals for some healthier choices of foods throughout the week. It is helpful to have a way to track your results of your food choices for the weekend exercise (including walking) for the week and review the results to find ways to improve upon them. Don't be afraid to share your goals with a friend to help with your accountability of reaching them!
