Negative
Habits
by
Dr. Robert Osgoodby
There
is no room for bad habits in your schedule if your goal is to improve your
health and get in shape. Addictions and bad habits are the #1 reason
people do not achieve their goals in life. A wise man once said,
"The last thing you want to do is often the first thing you need to do."
I am not going to lie, overcoming an addiction or a bad habit is tough.
Been there, done that, and I'm embarrassed to say, on more than one occasion.
Why
are bad habits so hard to break? Simple, because they are habits,
you do them everyday. They become a part of your life and daily routine.
People are creatures of habit and do not welcome change with open arms.
I can remember the days that I didn't have a computer. I ran three
successful businesses on paper for years. What did I need a computer
for? Now, I couldn't imagine life without it. The point I am
trying to make is it doesn't take long for a new positive activity to become
a habit and part of your daily routine.
Replace
your negative habits with positive activities. I replaced cigarettes
and alcohol with exercise, a healthy diet, helping people get in shape
and improve their health, and spending more time with my wife and children.
I get up every morning at 5:30 AM, and go to the gym. Now, it is
as routine as brushing my teeth.
There
are many positive habits you can replace negative habits with. Find
athletic and exercise activities that you enjoy doing, it makes it much
easier to succeed. Here are a few examples: tennis, dancing,
swimming, aerobics, ballet, join a foot ball or basketball league, softball,
soccer, weight training, and martial arts. If you are not into athletics,
take a leisurely walk. Anything that burns calories and gets your
blood flowing is better than nothing. Plus, exercise and athletic
acti vities causes your body to release endorphins into your system which
provide you with a natural healthy high, unlike drugs and alcohol that
kill brain cells and destroy your liver.
Some
experts will disagree, but my philosophy is, "The easiest way to break
a habit is cold turkey." You will be miserable and cranky for a few
days, but every day that goes by, it gets easier. And just like me
joining the 21st century and getting my first computer, in no time at all,
you won't be able to imagine life any other way.
If
you are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol and have found it impossible to
quit, get help! Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are
two amazing organizations. Their members have literally helped millions
of people kick the habit and lead a more enjoyable, healthy, and productive
life.
Unless
you have truly made the decision to change, you will never succeed in replacing
the negative with the positive. Making the decision to change is
half the battle. If I had a dollar for every time I said, "I'm going
to start on Monday" you'd be reading about me more in Forbes and The Wall
Street Journal. It took me nine years to finally make the decision,
and guess what, I started on a Saturday, not a Monday.
The
most popular bad habits are drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol, but there are
many other negatives that can prevent you from achieving your goals.
How many hours a day are you parked in front of you're computer?
Are you addicted to the internet? Are you a procrastinator or couch
potato? Are you addicted to chocolate, ice cream, cookies or sweets?
I could go on and on.
If
any of this sounds vaguely familiar, it's time to take a good long look
in the mirror and do a reality check. If you really want to change
your life for the better, for three full days, keep a journal of everything
you do, and how long you spend doing it. For this to work, you have
to be thorough and honest. If you are going to leave things out,
don't waste your time. If you brush your teeth at 6:30 AM, write
it down. If you smoke a cigarette, write it down. If you drink
6 glasses of scotch and boot some heroin after work, write it down.
At
the end of the week, review your journal, and highlight any negative or
excessive habits with a yellow magic marker. Why yellow? No
reason at all, if you want to use blue or pink, be my guest. After
completing this exercise, most people are absolutely amazed at how many
negative habits they have, and how much of their valuable time these habits
waste. For example, it takes the average person about 4 minutes to
smoke a cigarette. If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, 80 minutes
of your valuable time every day is dedicated to destroying your lungs,
arteries and heart.

Smiles
I
was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity test. I
placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began, "Cover your right
eye with your hand."
He
read the 20/20 line perfectly. "Now your left." Again, a flawless read.
"Now both," I requested. There was silence.
He
couldn’t even read the large E on the top line. I turned and discovered
that he had done exactly what I had asked; he was standing there with both
his eyes covered. I was laughing too hard to finish the exam.

Dr.
Jones goes to the retirement home for his monthly rounds. He sees Joe and
asks him, "Joe, how much is three times three?"
Joe
responds "59."
He
goes over to Tom and asks, "Tom, how much is three times three?"
Tom
responds, "Wednesday."
He
finally goes over to John and asks, "John, how much is three times three?"
"NINE"
replies John.
"That’s
right ...now how did you come to that answer?"
"It
was easy...I just subtracted 59 from Wednesday!"
-----
A
man goes to the doctor and says, "Doc, I would like to live very long.
What should I do?"
"I
think that is a wise decision," the doctor replies. "Let’s see, do you
smoke?"
"Oh..
Half a pack a day."
"Starting
NOW, no more smoking." The man agrees.
The
doctor then asks, "Do you drink?"
"Oh,
well Doc, not much, just a bit of wine with my meals, and a beer or two
every once in a while."
"Starting
now, you drink only water. No exceptions."
The
man is a bit upset, but also agrees.
The
doctor asks, "How do you eat?"
"Oh,
well, you know, Doc, normal stuff."
"Starting
now you are going on a very strict diet. You are going to eat only raw
vegetables, with no dressing, and non-fat cottage cheese."
The
man is now really worried. "Doc, is all this really necessary?"
"Do
you want to live long?"
"Yes."
"Well
then, it’s absolutely necessary. And don’t even think of breaking the diet."
The man is quite restless, but the doctor continues, "Do you have sex?"
"Yeah,
once a week or so..., only with my wife!" he adds hurriedly.
"As
soon as you get out of here you are going to buy twin beds. No more sex
for you. None."
The
man is appalled. "Doc... Are you sure I’m going to live longer this way?"
"I
have no idea, but no matter how long you live, I assure you is going to
seem like an eternity!"

********How
do I Get There From Here?********
by
James Groves
"One
Step At A Time?"
Believe
it or not, "how can I attain good health" is a question that I am
often asked. I always tell them the path to good health and wellness is
taken one step at a time. The kid's joke about, "How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time," tells the whole story.
And
beginning this month, I'm going to share simple, easy to follow steps you
can take Each month read and follow the suggestion. Take each small
step I give you and turn it into a habit, just like combing your hair or
brushing your teeth.
So
let's get started. Tip number one is don't skip meals. Eat
three to five times per day, but eat light each time. Start your
day with breakfast. You already know from last month's Health Tip
that I am a big fan of this meal. Eat oatmeal, cereal, fruit, fresh
juice, and whole grain breads. For a midmorning snack at work eat
fruit, raisins, or yogurt. Eat soup, half a sandwich, or a salad
with light dressing for lunch. For an afternoon snack eat plain popcorn,
rice cakes, or your favorite fruit. Dinner should include lots of
vegetables that you like. If you don't like spinach, don't eat it.
Eat a small portion of meat, and limit bread, butter and potatoes.
Make a large salad with lots of tomatoes, peppers, celery, cucumbers, and
use a light or fat free dressing.
If
you eat often, but eat less, you will find the weight will begin to fall
off. Don't skip meals and don't starve yourself. When you do this
you are actually signaling your body to go into it's "starvation" mode
and your metabolic rate will actually slow down causing you to retain the
weight, not lose it.

fast food restaurants and supermarket aisles full of tempting treats, eating
healthy these days is a challenge. However, a diet filled with the proper
food can help you to get healthy and stay healthy for years to come.
Here is my Top 10 list of nutrition-packed foods for you to start eating
today. They contain the essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytonutrients
that you need.
1.
Broiled, baked, or poached fresh deep-water fish such as salmon, tuna,
cod, haddock, sardines, and mackerel
2.
Brown rice
3.
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and
cauliflower
4.
Free-range, organically grown eggs eaten in moderation (three or four a
week at the maximum)

Leafy greens such as spinach, collards, kale, turnip greens, escarole,
and more (steam them or eat them raw)
6.
Fresh garlic
