I’ve been in the health and nutrition field for three decades, so as you can probably surmise, I’ve pretty much heard it all.
I’ve seen numerous versions of what people think a “healthy diet” is, I’ve been asked about every diet and weight loss supplement on God’s green earth and have heard every excuse known to man for someone’s lack of exercise.
That’s OK, because this is why I do what I do. To encourage people to get on the right path and start feeling a lot better! There’s no better motivator than results, and I love to see when my clients have success.
But one of the most frustrating situations I’ve encountered is to hear someone say it’s too late for them.
They believe to the core of their being they are too far gone to improve their health and/or lose weight.
Many seemed to have been brought down by nay-sayers and had doubts about whether they could truly make a difference in their health.
If this sounds like you, then please listen up, because I have a very important message for you today.
It’s NEVER too late!
It’s never, ever too late to improve your health, regardless of your age or how long your health has suffered.
No matter where you’re starting from, your body WILL benefit in some way from a healthier lifestyle--that is a certainty.
Adopting healthier habits can lead to some very exciting changes like these:
- More regular BMs
- Less heartburn, gas and bloating
- More energy
- Weight loss
- Sleeping more soundly at night
- Fewer aches and pains
- Needing less medication
- Lower blood pressure and cholesterol
Important: Don’t listen to the nay-sayers
If anyone around you tries to knock you down or tells you that you can’t make a difference in your health, or you’re not good enough or strong enough or smart enough, kindly look them in the eye and say, “You couldn’t be more wrong.”
And then prove them wrong.
I remember someone once told me that my running stride was no good. Mind you, this person had probably never run farther than a mile in their life.
Well, my “crappy” running stride carried me across the finish line for THREE full marathons—in 2012, 2016 and 2019!
And get this—after earning my 4th degree master black belt in karate back in 2017, I switched martial arts disciplines in 2022, and last week at age 61 I earned my brown belt in mixed martial arts.
Here’s a picture of me (looking rather sweaty and messy!) at the end of the test just before I received my new belt:
It’s never too late, my dear friend.
Refuse to make excuses
If you allow excuses to enter your mind, you’re done before you start. There is no room for excuses when it comes to improving your health.
Here’s a great quote about excuses:
We make time for the things that we want to make time for, and excuses for everything else.
Make the time for you and your health.
Your 3-step plan to better health at any age!
If you’re ready to make a significant difference in your state of health, here is a very effective 3-step plan that will help turn things around for you, regardless of your age or where you’re starting from.
1- Nourish your body and support sound digestion
The single most disease-preventing, health-enhancing and lifesaving measure you can take is having a nutritious diet of real foods.
If you eat a typical diet of processed food, fast food or refined carbs, you can count on being sick--it's a given.
Plus, if you have poor digestion, you are opening the door for inflammation-causing wastes to accumulate in your system and make you toxic.
Diseases love a nice, toxic body--they thrive in that environment. This is especially true of cancer.
So it’s essential to eat the foods that give your body the nutrients it needs to fight disease and encourage proper elimination of wastes.
Concentrate on real foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry and fish, eggs, nuts, healthy fats, whole grains and pure filtered water.
And make your meals easier for your body to break down too! The key lies in what foods you eat together—certain meal combinations are a breeze for your system to tackle, and others lead to digestive fireworks!
My Great Taste No Pain system can guide you on exactly what to do.
Great Taste No Pain teaches you the few simple principles you'll need to know to make all your meals tasty, super nutritious and much easier to digest.
When your body is armed with the nutrients it needs, it can better heal itself and fight disease.
2- Support your immune system
The habits many people have are destroying their immune systems.
Things like eating junk food, drinking soda, smoking, not getting enough sleep, stress and taking medications all destroy your gut microbiome...
...and since this is where 80 percent of your immune system resides, you may be lacking the protection of the bulk of that immune system!
But a full-spectrum, potent multi-strain probiotic like Super Shield PLUS can help you maintain a health-supporting gut bacterial balance.
Super Shield PLUS contains 15 strains of the world's most potent, effective beneficial bacteria found in the human digestive tract. These good guys line the walls of your intestines like an army, ready to fight off dangerous invaders and encourage strong immune function.
Plus Super Shield PLUS supports sound digestion and regular BMs...which can mean less gas, bloating, and constipation too!
3- Move it
I know. Exercise is a dreaded word to a lot of people. But there’s no getting around it—you simply can’t replace its health benefits in any other way!
Here are just some of the ways exercise transforms your health:
- Weight management: Regular physical activity helps to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat.
- Decreased heart disease risk: Physical activity strengthens heart muscles, lowers resting heart rate and blood pressure, and improves blood lipids.
- Reduced cancer risk: Being overweight increases a person's risk of cancer, so physical activity can help reduce cancer risk by reducing weight.
- Decreased back pain: Exercise can increase muscle strength, endurance, flexibility and posture.
- Lower risk of type 2 diabetes: Regular physical activity can lead to decreases in blood glucose and insulin resistance.
- Healthy bones: Physical activity encourages bone formation and slows the progression of bone loss.
- Enhanced sleep quality: Regular exercise is a natural stress reducer; it improves mood and encourages more restful sleep.
Remember to get your doctor’s OK first then get moving.
You CAN make a difference--it's never too late
If you are sick, have a disease, are overweight, take multiple medications or all of the above, know this:
You CAN make a difference and help stop disease from taking its toll on you.
It's never too late to help your body develop better health from within.
Give your body the help it needs to give YOU a life free of pain, disease and an endless sea of medications.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
