Keith's Mission Statement
"To inspire and motivate others to believe that a healthier life is one bite and one step away."
Another new month starts tomorrow. What a great opportunity to make a fresh commitment or renew a commitment to your heart and overall health and fitness. I am going to strive for a very, very, very low saturated fat month in addition to my regular physical fitness routine. What will you commit to? Make it achievable:)
“Healthier eating and daily activity / fitness are non-negotiable. Why do we even think they are? It is never to late to improve your life. Excuses and delay benefit no one and in fact hurt everyone. When we make that “small shift” in our thinking we gain life and health. Make that “small shift.”” …..Keith
“You can do it. It will not be easy and sometimes you’ll feel that there’s just no way. I can tell you that there is a way. A better life and better health is calling you. You just need to believe it’s calling you a little more than the bad habits that got us into this situation in the first place.” – Keith
Welcome. This blog and my websites are dedicated to anyone touched by heart disease and / or obesity.
I believe that everyone can lead a healthier lifestyle and that it's never too late and you are never too old to take that first step toward better health. I believe you can. Please believe with me.
Heart Disease and Obesity are the #1 and #3 Causes of Death in the United States.
We are a nation that loves a quick fix but often has nowhere to turn for solutions. Heart disease kills over 700,000 people a year and over 30% of the population is considered obese.
Adult and Childhood obesity have reached epidemic proportions with no signs of slowing down. The facts are that as deadly as these two diseases are, they are also the most preventable.
