Healthy Lifestyle
by How often do you think “I need to be healthier” and then reach for your milkshake? Do you huff, puff, and pant your way up a flight of stairs thinking about how much you need to get in shape and then light up a cigarette? You don’t have to make getting healthy or fit a chore. You might be surprised to learn that it really isn’t terribly difficult at all. The simple fact is that staying healthy and getting in shape is pretty easy. When you know the right steps to take it’s much easier to be healthy. Following these tips will allow you to see for yourself.
Cancer have been directly tied to cigarette smoking for years yet many young people continue to light up. Is it because the cancer is not an IMMEDIATE result that makes them do this? How about alcohol abuse…you can damage your liver and even increase your risk of having a massive heart attack. Is it really worth it to be one of the COOL kids in the bunch? Hmmm…last time I check…being dead ain’t so cool…
And then there’s the subject of illegal drugs. From pills to powders to things you inject, drugs truly represent the pinnacle of poisons that one can put into their body. Most of these chemicals are designed to directly affect your brain in order for you to experience a particular “high” associated with a drug.
Wow…putting something in your body that gives you brain damage, even if temporary, certainly should stand out as an incredibly STUPID thing to do…no? Think about that the next time someone says “Don’t worry, it’s safe.” These substances can also change your mood in ways that will affect your family and loved ones.
Your mother, your father, your little brother or sister, can be seen as people you despise all because of the damage the drugs are doing to your brain. Imagine not having those loved ones in your life anymore…well, jump on the drug train and your chances of that happening will go up about a thousand fold…
Life is meant to be lived, experienced, enjoyed, sure, but doing so in a state of mind that is pure will add so much to the experience. You won’t have to worry about jail time, dying of a drug overdose, never seeing your family again, or any of the other awesome things that come along with abusing drugs, alcohol, or tobacco.
If you are a young person and you want to feel or be treated as a grown up, well then, make an ADULT decision. Stay straight, make a positive difference in the world, and be a role model to those around you. By the way, even when you are stone sober, you can still get a little wild and crazy sometimes, just do it with a clear conscience AND a clear mind…;-)
