Yeah, But I Feel Fine You say to yourself, Maybe its time to make changes in my eating and lifestyle habits. After all, Im not getting any younger. Yeah, but, you say, I feel just fine. Why do I need to make any changes if I feel fine? If you are like most people, you think that if you feel fine at any given moment, then you must be healthy. You dont have a cold or flu. Your aches and pains dont prevent you from doing anything you want to do. You have no symptoms caused by any condition or disease. So you must be healthy. Life is good. No worries. No need to change a thing in your eating or exercise habits. Think about it for just a moment. Does feeling fine always mean that all is well on the inside? How many diseases and conditions are absolutely pain- and symptom-free for years and years before they ever, if at all, give us a clue they are invading the inside of our bodies? How many women feel perfectly fine at the exact moment a doctor is telling them that they have breast cancer? How can that be, they wonder? They feel perfectly fine. How many people feel perfectly fine one moment and are struck down by a paralyzing stroke the next? How many people feel perfectly fine as their weight keeps creeping up, creating the perfect environment for the invasion of the chronic, debilitating disease, diabetes. How many people feel perfectly fine one moment and the next moment they are broad-sided by a sudden fatal heart attack. They had no symptoms, no warning at all. Just because you feel fine doesnt mean that a silent, devastating disease isnt lurking on the inside. Regardless of how you feel at any given moment, the choices you make now are critical for your body to function well now and in the future and for the prevention of those diseases that quietly creep up and ultimately compromise the quality and length of your life. |
