Sooner of later, all of us will be on some type of medication to help our deficiencies. The scary part is learning all the side effects from these prescriptions. Sometimes, they seem worse than the disease being treated.

What are we doing to ourselves? Of course, we trust our doctors, but how did we get there? Why do these deficiencies catch up with us that we need more medicine?

I do understand there are diseases due to genetics, including congenital which is birth defects.

 But, let’s be for real, most of our problems are lifestyle related. Don’t you think your health issues are from a poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol, and stress?

Here is a crazy stat for you. In America, from the age of 65 and onward, 1 in 6 people will develop dementia during their lifetime. (women 1 in 5, men 1 in 7) Why is all this happening? You already know that answer. You don’t need a PHD or medical degree to diagnose yourself. It’s the side effect from your lifestyle.

Now, that’s enough about negative side effects from being lazy. What can possibly be the side effect from a healthier life?

There’s more to it than just losing weight and getting stronger. How productive would your days be if you had more energy and better sleep? Eating nutritious foods and staying active will contribute to a stronger immune system. That means fewer colds, infections, and illness.

Mentally, exercise releases endorphins to help balance brain chemicals that affect mood, give sharper focus and memory, including anti-depression.

 We all have choices, so why not make healthy decisions that give you a quality of life. Isn’t this the side effect you would like to experience? Believe me, you are never too old. We have multiple clients in their 70’s and 80’s and they are reaping the side effects from lifting weights.

Would you rather hang out in the recliner watching useless information on the tele, or going on vacation to your favorite destiny?

Listen, I’m here for you. Don’t be embarrassed to reach out to me. Let me help give you simple tips to getting back in life. It’s easier than you think. You can make a change today.

If you don’t like the side effects that you’re currently experiencing, then do something about it.
