CDC and Heart Disease and Stokes.....



While watching the news, I learned about this study that was done by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). I was horrified to learn that about 200,000 people died unnecessary deaths last year, and I had to share this article with you...

I want to scream from the roof top that we MUST exercise regularly, eat things that are good for our bodies, stop smoking, and limit our alcohol consumption, or I want to lovingly spread the word that we should consider exercising regularly, eating things that are good for our bodies, not smoking, and limiting our alcohol consumption.

We really need to  take care of our bodies, because they are gifts from God.....

I had a conversation with a friend who believes that we should eat whatever we want to in moderation, and I soooo disagree with that. Why would we put a moderate amount of trash in our bodies. We would never put a moderate amount of trash on or in anything else that we value? However, I am making a huge assumption that people value their bodies.....

I am not sure what works for you in terms of your body, but I do hope that you think about it consciously.

People, we have the power to change our lives!!!
