4 Keys to Optimum Health & Fitness

Your healthy functioning body is the most valuable material asset you possess. It is the first thing of value given to you when you enter this world and you owe it to yourself to value it and increase its functioning value. Today I will give you four keys to progressively creating a healthy body and life for yourself so that you can enjoy life, good health, and optimum fitness to the fullest potential.

Key #1: Think Right.
As your mind flows so your life goes. Meaning – your life is a product of the thoughts you think, which leads to the actions you do, which then creates the results you see. Someone who is 400 pounds overweight cannot lose 100 pounds per year if they continue to think that they must have a pound of ice cream every day to be happy. Clearly the key to changing this ingrained habit pattern is to progressively change that way of thinking to one that will produce the right habits/actions and thereby producing the desired results.

Key #2: Eat & Drink Right.
Consuming the right foods is extremely important. Many people find this hard to do because they have formed improper eating habits over a long period of time that can be very hard to change without assistance. How would you rate your eating habits? Understand that your body is a living organism that uses the food you consume to recreate itself. Before a cell dies it reproduces another cell from the food you are currently consuming. So here is some food for thought: If you had the choice would you create your body from the nutrients in the food you are consuming right now?




Key #3: Rest Right.
Rest = Restoration. Makes sense, doesn’t it? While exercise and movement are essential for stimulating circulation and the elimination of toxins, rest and sleep provide an opportunity for the body to cleanse, repair, and rejuvenate on a deep cellular level. Nourishing your body with plenty of healing sleep and rest is essential for becoming whole and maintaining optimum health.

Key #4: Be Happy Each Day.
Now, some people would consider the possibility of being happy every day to be impossible, but it is possible. It really is!! How? Well for starters I recommend that you smile for at least one minute as soon as you get up each morning. It doesn’t matter if your life is totally upside down – smile anyway. There are many benefits to smiling that I won’t go into here but from a body chemical standpoint it does the body well. Secondly, I recommend that you smile and say HI to as many people as you can throughout the day. Just these 2 tips alone are enough to improve your mood and outcome in life significantly.

There you have it! Use these 4 keys and be well on your way of achieving optimum health.

– Wishing you continued success in your fitness journey!
