Wise and Healthy Words from a Health "Guru"

I rece'd an email today from Erleen Tilton - a wise and healthy woman and "health guru" in my opinion. She shared some great insights and I thought I'd pass them on to you here - in her own words:

"Recently, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson, which clearly
helps one understand that in areas of health, relationships, finances, or any area in our lives, that the 'difference between success and failure is not dramatic. In fact, the difference between success and failure is so subtle, most people miss it.'

We lack understanding that it's the little decisions we make every day that seem so insignificant, yet are in fact what sets us up for success or failure. 'The right choices you make today, compounded over time, will take you higher and higher up the success curve of this real-time movie called 'your life'. The wrong choices you make today, compounded over time, will absolutely, positively and inevitably take you down, and out.'

Making good eating choices is "easy to do, easy not to do". One poor meal eaten today will not cause you to gain weight or make any huge adverse effect on your body, but poor choices of foods eaten on a continual basis, will over time, add unwanted pounds and create the disorders you have to end up treating.

So if you would do just 5 simple little things each and every day – easy to do, easy not to do – you could over time see dramatic improvements in your health and weight. Being unhealthy is, in reality, a HUGE EXPENSE, so eventually you could also greatly lighten your budget too!
Those 5 Simple Things Each Day to improve your health are these:

1. Eat simply – at least 50-70% of your food intake RAW! Veggies, veggies, veggies, fruits too! Other foods: wholesome does make a difference!
2. Drink a minimum of 2-3 quarts of pure water – every day, without fail!
3. Boost your immunities with PURE supplements – greens powders, antioxidant juices, essential oils, pro-biotics!
4. Exercise at least 30 minutes each day – some way, somehow – just be more active!
5. Get a good night's rest – this is vital for regeneration and healing! Relax with good uplifting, spiritual, self-improvement, educational materials!

Easy to do, easy not to do! These 5 little things done every day, or not done every day, compounded over time will make a huge difference in your health, in wellness or sickness!

I just love how Erleen's words feed right into our 90-day health challenge. After 90 days, we should become so accustomed to our healthier habits, that hopefully we'll all continue on, compounding them over time, into a long life of success and wellness.

Earn as many points each day as you possibly can! Do you have your "Body Mind & Spirit" check sheet calendar? Are you checking off your accomplishements at the end of each day? Each night as I evaluate my day and the points I've earned, I think about all of you and wonder how you're doing and hoping that you're really trying to be a better you. I'm really trying too.

Picture yourself as a healthy, happy, strong, intelligent and spiritual woman - a better woman than you are today. Put "deposits" each day into that woman that will compound over time until you become her.

It's great to hear from you as to how you're doing thus far. As I'm writing this, I'm remembering that I owe myself one more serving of raw vegetables. I'm gonna go get myself some broccoli - nummm.
