What If?


What if the healthiest and most productive days of your life were ahead of you? How would you change your activities and choices in order to make the most of those days? This is a question that I try to ask each of my patients. Every single one seems like that could not be or if it is they definitely were not planning on it. In fact I would argue that most people feel that health is something that is experienced as a young person and is progressively lost over our lives. I would argue against this belief. My personal goal is to be healthier tomorrow than I am today. We know that the more experienced we are the greater the likelihood that we can make better decisions. Why does this not usually take place with our health? Or, if it does, why do the changes only come after the diagnosis and treatment of something like a heart attack, cancer or diabetes? What if your healthiest and most productive days were ahead of you? The best way to live our lives today is with this in mind. Wouldn't you be more likely to eat a little healthier, get a little or a lot more exercise, manage your stress a little more, get a little more sleep, take better care of your teeth and your spine? All of these are choices that we have control over today. I challenge you to take the proactive measures that are appropriate for making your days to come the healthiest you have ever experienced!
