Let's say maybe you let yourself become overweight, then you stop going out for a social because your embarrassed you've gotten so big, then your doc tells you have high blood pressure and your at risk for coronary heart disease and your kid's at risk for diabetes because he's overweight along side you. All at once, your depressed, have no social life and have risked your very life as well as your child's and your both in need of medical as well as psychological help. Not a good scenario!!

Our health may not always be in our control, but for most of us living in "modern" societies, we can usually point the finger at ourselves when it comes to a vast majority of our common ailments.

I know this may sound a little harsh, but some things are too important to sugar coat and we all need to look after our health, not just for ourselves, but also for our children, our community and our planet
