A sexy six pack is in the abdominal muscles of all of us. If you can't see it, it's because there is a layer of fat covering up those muscles. When you eat a calorie correct diet, excess fat leaves your body for good and your natural physique shines through. We are built strong. Even our regular daily activities keep us toned and fit. Walking, lifting, bending, and any moving around uses muscle strength. You don't have to overdo it either. I found that just working at my daily job as a veterinarian for twenty two years kept me fit. I did eat right during those years too. Diet is the most powerful tool for our health. If you only eat right, that is quality foods at a calorie correct dose every day, then you will stay free from disease and illness for a century or longer. It sounds too good to be true, but it is. The problem is, we have so few examples of healthy living people, that they usually stand out as oddities. Our "standards" of health actually run in the diseased zones of overweight and obesity. Morbid Obesity is becoming more common and it is recognized as a state of disease. The truth is, all stages of overweight and obesity are states of disease. The medical standards have simply been relaxed. Just like the size of airplane seats which have been widened recently to accomodate generally fatter passengers. Think of the fuel savings for aircraft if everyone weighed forty pounds less! That would save eight thousand pounds on every average flight of two hundred passengers in a plane. That is how much the jet fuel weighs for an average flight!
We need to rise up to meet new standards of healthiness in America. Those standards use to be there. The have disappeared in the face of super sized meals and greater tolerance of obesity.
I look forward to the days when this all changes.
