Health is something that is
always on my mind. I find it
extremely important to stay
healthy physically but most
importantly mentally. Many
people forget about the health
of ones mind. The health of
your body is of course
important but in order to live a
healthy lifestyle you must have
a healthy mind set on pushing
you to eat and live better and
healthier. More than 1/3 of
America is considered to be
obese and the estimated
annual cost of medical costs in
2008 was $147 billion dollars.
However there seems to
be a new trend pushing forward
and rising above everything
else, and that trend is being
active. I consider it a trend as of
now because it seems to be
contagious, cross fit programs
are becoming popular and
getting the dream body you
have always wanted. I think that
is it great that people are
becoming more aware of their
health and bodies.
I try to workout 3 times a
week. My workout consists of
cardio, whether it is running or
on the elliptical, abdominal
exercises as well as arms and
legs. With that I also try and eat
as healthy as I can. My favorite
food store is Trader Joe’s; they
have all of the freshest foods
and most importantly organic
food.
