Why I want to be Healthy

I mentioned that for 2022 I’m taking back my health by making health my hobby. Why do I want to be healthy? Here’s at least 5 reasons why:

1. I want to live longer: Yes, I know that my life is in God’s hand. I know that my days are numbered and that God is in control. I still would like to live longer in good health and with a sound mind. There’s even evidence that links staying healthy with longer life.
2. I want to feel good and look good: As I mentioned earlier in a previous post that when I eat crappy I feel crappy. I don’t won’t to feel crappy. I found that leading a healthy lifestyle can also improve the appearance of your skin, teeth and nails and give you that certain glow that makes you look great!
3. I want to avoid heart problems and chronic diseases: I know I already have stage one lymphoma, but no more. That’s it! In addition of feeling better and looking good there is evidence that regular exercise and eating healthy can help reduce free radicals as well as promote the release of toxins associated with disease and infections. So a healthy lifestyle will help with high blood pressure, promote healthy cholesterol levels(i’m working on),reduce the risk of diabetes(remember I had pre-diabetes), and promotes good heart health!
4. I want to be a granddad(Pappy) as long as I can: I’m so thankful for my grandchild(Lilybug). I love being called, “Pappy”. I want to see her grow into a mature young lady one day. Maybe I can even be at her graduation. That would be a blessing!
5. I want to inspire others to live healthy: Many already know that I’m a people person. I love talking to people from all back grounds. I love sharing with them my lifestory and the many blessings that God has given me. To be honest, I would love to share with people and inspire them to live a healthy lifestyle. My passion is to work with cancer patients and share with them how to eat nutriciously. Having dealt with cancer personally and in the family it just fuels the passion that much more!
