Living is a choice

We are given a body by God to live in while we are on the earth.  Most people want to live a long, strong, prosperous and successful life.  In order for that to happen we must take responsibility of what we do to and for our bodies.  The body needs a few simple things: water, fruits, vegetables, grain, rest, cleaning, protein, exercise and love.  These are very basic necessities of life.  Although this is a common knowlege list, it has proven to be difficult for some to adhere to. 
Water.  How often have you said I know I need to drink water, but I don't like it.  What does liking water have to do with drinking it to sustain life?  Nothing.  Drink water.
Fruits and vegetabels.  I have taught many people who refuse to eat many types of fruits and vegetables.  Again, we are talking about what the body needs in order for you to continue to live in it in peace.  Eat the food the body needs.  I understand that we have tast buds to satisfy, so keep trying different ways to prepare the food until you can get your tast buds appeased.  Eat the food.
Exercise.  For some this is a dirty word.  What is wrong with moving that body?  You must keep the muscles in your body strong and functioning.  You major organs are muscles.  They must be exercised to keep them in optimum condition.  Your bones must be exercised to keep them strong.  Flexibility of the body will help reduce simple sprains, strains and pulls.  A regular work out for your body is similar to a oil change or tune up for your car.  Regular maintenance works.
I'm not a physician.  I'm just a person who believes that life is a choice.  You can choose to live long by doing what your body needs or you can choose something else.  I encourage you to choose life.
