The Healthier Me

        Most everyone likes junk food.  It is a normal human pastime that we all experience.  But sometimes it can have negative side affects that lead to obesity.  Over 69% of the adult American population is obese.  That's a lot.  I'm not saying that's bad.  Some people have medical reasons.   Others though are just struggling to find the motivation.  Like me.  I'm not obese yet, but it I keep going the way I am I will be very soon.  It's hard work.  You have to train your body to not want as much food.  You have to work at it every single day.  Make the habit of walking or jogging everyday.  Instead of making that huge breakfast, make a smoothie full of fresh fruit and protein, and dark leafy greens.  

         I love, in the morning to make a smoothie out of frozen strawberries, a banana, some orange juice, and a whole bunch of spinach.  It looks brown and nasty but tastes amazing! I also made my own protein power out of oat, lentils, rice, and sunflower seeds, run it through a food processor and you can't ever taste it.   
        There are so many things that are so easy that you can do to get healthy.  As my dad always said, "Drink more water" which is true, it detoxes your body.  Simply going on a walk for 45 minutes everyday can help you.  When I go on walks, I know it helps me loose weight, and make me feel good because I did something to help myself.  
         So instead of sitting on your couch all day, get up and go for a walk, or a run, or a jog.  But do something to help yourself.
