We Live In A Toxic Environment and You CAN Make a Difference

Lisa on March 5th, 2008

Toxic seems to be such a negative word. Yes, there are most certainly many “opportunities” for exposure to convenience food & lifestyle environments that pose a danger to our well being. And yes, there is aggressive marketing and misinformation out there to hawk so-called “nutritional” foods for profit at the expense of OUR health or environment. Not to mention the office “spread” opportunities, and great tasting (?), but cheap fast food. But I don’t think our future is bleak. And the world IS a beautiful place to be. I sincerely believe each one of us can make a difference….one change at a time, one person at a time, one day at a time….beginning with ourselves. Don’t we all want to lead healthy, happy lives? The way to do that is to follow a path that includes regular physical activity, good nutrition, preventive screenings, and EVERY day—make smart, healthy decisions. Did you know that a healthy lifestyle can easily add 10-20 years to a lifespan, not to mention dramatically improve the QUALITY? Sometimes the commitment seems too big. It’s really not. TRUST me. It’s about making small changes, daily choices, and a commitment to your goal. Small steps, ladies. And we’ll do it together. On this site, we can help each other with answers, suggestions, and provide synergistic encouragement. The sisterhood is strong. And the knowledge of ALL of us combined is POWERFUL. Join us. Be Strong. (Btw, I just love Lance’s “LIVEstrong” bracelet. Someone gave it to me when I was fighting leukemia and the mantra just resonated with me… Live Strong. Heck yeah. I will live strong, baby. I AM living strong. Every day.) Life and health are such precious gifts. I am so thankful. Stay tuned, chicas….and stay STRONG! Lisa
