Sick and Fat or Healthy and Fit

Let's zero in on the specific things that can go wrong with your health in middle age, say 40 to 60 or more, as a result of not being fit.

Extra weight is a common factor in the onset of diabetes.

Lack of exercise and obesity contribute to heart disease and high blood pressure.

Digestive problems such as acid reflux and hiatal hernias are much worse in the obese person.

Knee pain and joint problems often develop because of extra weight, even in people in their forties.

And the list goes on and on.

How can we change sick and fat to healthy and fit? We all know the rules. Eat less, exercise more, bla, bla, bla. But there are so many excuses we can make to avoid the "exercise drudgery". Not enough time, embarassment at being seen at the gym, an overwhelming feeling that it's too late to get healthy and fit.

The process of going from sick and fat to healthy and fit should be done in small steps. Plunging in to exercising every single day, or cutting fats and sweets until you feel deprived will just lead to feeling overwhelmed and defeated. Try cutting out desserts except for just one on a Sunday. Try having starchy food only once a day.
