HEALTH
minds have to override the behavior
our bodies are accustomed. After
an average of 21 days, our bodies
learn a new way of life and our
cells have rebooted to this new
way.
Have you noticed how difficult
it is to stop eating junk food
after you’ve had a bad week?
You know you want to drop the
habit, but something inside you
just wants nothing more than a
chunk of chocolate cake or an oily
KFC bucket. This is partly due to the
addictive and highly toxic MSG chemical in most fast foods, and partly because
your body has learned a way of eating
which’s hard to think away simply.
One more thing.
Endorphins are naturally occurring
opioids with rewarding pathways
like heroin. These hormones are
released in copious amounts
whenever you exercise. Smaller
amounts are released when you eat
a piece of dark chocolate or have a
good laugh. Once your body gets
hooked on something such as exercise (yes 21 days!), your life will feel
incomplete without it, and you’re well
on your way to a happier, healthier,
fitter you! Mark 21 days from today on
the calendar and create your simple
goal!
