I wanted to post today about a very important aspect of eating healthier & exercising..... TAKING LESS MEDICATION! If any of you watch the Biggest Loser, you will see the stories of how many medications these people are on due to their weight & unhealthy eating habits. Yes, The Biggest Loser has an extensive medical team behind the scene & every contestant is put through a battery of tests prior to being on the show. They even show their "physical" age compared to their chronological age. Many are 15-20 years physically older than their actual age!
This week's show highlighted two contestants that had been on 10-15 different medications! One of these contestants was in his late 20's and they estimated that if he stayed on his current medication for the course of his life, it would cost him close to $730,000.00!!! The other man was already closing in on that amount of money because he was older!
So, don't you think you can find a better use for this money! These medications were directly related to their poor health & they both are off almost all the medications in just 3-4 weeks of exercising & eating healthier!
If nothing else, this should at least make you think in a different way about reasons to get healthier and start exercising. Just think of all the fun things you could do with that medication money or how much you could do for your family!
