If you're healthy, then you are wealthy indeed. Health isn't something you can buy, but it's something you can influence, it's something you can nurture. But do we give our health much thought?
Youth has little or no time for anything as boring as health, yet our early years are very important when it comes to building a 'health platform' for our future. When you're young you don't give a second thought to health - that is until something goes wrong, but you believe that it never will.
Diet is somebody else's concern when we are young, we don't worry ourselves about it. All we are interested in is getting more of what we like - which is usually candy, cake and cookies washed down with copious quantities of cola.
Only when we reach our teenage years do we take more note of the way we look. Now we notice if we're fatter than our friends. It starts to matter.
Eating the right food when we are children is vitally important. We don't normally have too much say in what we eat, but children do try and intimidate their parents into giving them things they want. Sometimes this can result in a very distorted diet - a bad diet.
An overweight teenager is often not a happy person. It is often very difficult to make them realize that if they want to change it will take a considerable effort. Many are not able to make that commitment to change for a variety of reasons.
With loads of bad habits, many of which will have been deeply engrained, it is difficult to make change. It can come from developing an awareness of what needs to be changed. Many of the habits will have been learned in childhood and will be a challenge to break.
To make a real and lasting difference it's not diets that are needed, but a more fundamental change in behaviour. The only really successful way to do this is to learn new habits, slim habits, that will enable lasting change to take place.
