Turning Back the Clock
If you’ve reached middle age and your health habits are less than desirable, don’t give up hope. Making a change at this stage of life will yield significant results, and set you on your way to an improved quality of life now, and in your senior years.
Dr. Dana King, a University of South Carolina professor of medicine, is part of a research team whose findings indicate that changing lifelong unhealthy habits in middle age may yield you a longer life.
“It’s not too late,” says Dr. King. “If you make [healthy] changes now, it has a tremendous impact.”
Dr. King and his team colleagues looked at four healthy habits in over 16,000 people between 45 and 64 years of age. Here are the categories they evaluated: eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day, 2.5 hours or more of exercise per week, a healthy weight level, and not smoking.
Dr. King’s research team found that the people who adhered to the four healthy habits were “40 percent less likely to die and 35 percent less likely to suffer heart problems than those who did not adopt the beneficial habits.”

Most books with a tough-love message want a true confession out of an overweight person - an admission that the individual is in a denial state and has an inner responsibility for being overweight. I think that approach is wrong. I think you have to put planks in a platform for success, and show the practitioner of the denial system how to move forward successfully, once that individual is out from under the spell of the denial system. However, overweight people must acknowledge the solution starts at home from within themselves, not from an outside cause. So instead of just beating you “denial system devotees” up, I will show you a practical system to defeat obesity, but damn it, don’t you dare quit on me! I won’t accept it. Stick with me and you’ll get the results, I guarantee.
In general, there are two types of lifestyles. My system is a positive Total Commitment Motivational, Wellness lifestyle for success. Those who are overweight, and don’t want to be, are living the other type - a negative lifestyle destined for failure. When someone tells a person to pursue a positive lifestyle as an option, there is an assumption that they don’t have a lifestyle. They do. It is a lifestyle for failure. No wonder so many find themselves in a position of a psychological dilemma. Follow along with me as we lay several more key planks in the platform for the successful solution to the weight problem, and more importantly, the coping with the torment of failure. Begin a positive lifestyle of quality eating habits, prescription exercise - that’s fun - and add proper scientific nutritional supplements. There is your foundation.
Remember that if you start wrong, you finish wrong. If you start right, you have at least a half-assed chance of finishing right. And I assure you, with effort based on Total Commitment Motivational, Wellness Philosophy and serious focus on a positive lifestyle, I will describe in detail in future blogs, weight-loss success for you is a sure thing.

I heard a great line the other day- “Food is not an activity.”
I thought that was some great advice on how to keep from over eating. I know that I sometimes do eat just because I’m bored during comericals.
I also try to limit my supply of junk food in my house. I find if there are chips, I will eat chips until I run out or get full. If there are cookies, I will eat cookies until I run out or get full. I fall I have is salad, I will eat salad. And I can only eat so much salad.
Do you have some tips for eating better? Please share in the comments section.
Here’s some tips from Pax:
Establish “No-Eat Zones”: This teaches discipline which is a key component of success. Not trying yields tragedy, and effort yields triumph.
Do the “Savor the Flavor” Test: Learn the art of eating slower. Practice makes perfect.
Break One Habit at a Time: You can’t stop overeating, smoking, and drinking all at once. Your initial goal is to adopt the Body for the Ages Nutrition System of eating, the initial goal is not to weight loss.
Table Eating: Only eat at the table. (Never standing, or in a car.)
Don’t Fear Failure: Everybody slips off every course they commit to… sometimes. That’s not failure. You are human. Slipping off course and then quitting - that’s failure.
Make it Fun!: Maintain a positive frame of mind. You’re on your way to building the body of your dreams!
