Build IT!

So many buildings going up around us. It takes strategic planning from the beginning to end of the construction of a new building. There is process that if followed correctly will lead to a great building.

Are our bodies any different? Think about our bodies. Our bodies were created, have all the necessary parts in all the right places, and things are working the way they are designed to work. Of course, there are exceptions when someone has an abnormality.

Generally, we are in control of how well our bodies perform. We are in control of the great body we have. We are in control of how much we eat, drink, sleep, exercise, and perform on a daily basis. Our lifestyles dictate how our bodies grow and develop.

Generally, if we are constantly under heavy stress, science has shown us that our bodies breakdown and age faster than they should. If we are constantly drinking excess alcohol, eating excess food, smoking cigarettes, and not sleeping for at least 6 hours, our bodies breakdown faster.

Everyday we have an opportunity to make changes, no matter how big or small to improve our lives. It is great that people are living longer now then say the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's. Our lifespan is longer then before. Next, what will the quality of life be? If we are now seeing more people living into their 80's, 90's and 100's. what are we doing today to make sure that we get there and can still perform basic activities of daily living?

I think it makes sense to be aware of what we are doing today to take care of our future selves. So, if we spend consistent time on self care, we should see a great return in our later years when we are in our 80's, 90's, and 100's!

Make it a great day!
