Your Health is Your Choice

Lifestyle disorders are a result of the way people live their life.

Your life is a result of the choices you have made. If you don't like your life, start making better choices."

— Zig Ziglar

The quote stands true in everyone's lives, be it your health, wealth, social status or your happiness. Particularly apt in your lifestyle choices, it defines the quality of life that you lead, today, tomorrow and ever after. Choose what you want to happen to you.

The latency period of Lifestyle Disorders i.e.; the period during which the disease does not surface is generally long, often stretching from many years to several decades.The course of illness is often prolonged and takes years before a patient may be forced to opt for medical care or intervention. Your body shows alarm signs quite early. Ignorance of these initial symptoms is a cardinal mistake.

Following a healthy lifestyle comes with challenges including impact of the food environment, time pressures, financial cost, stress, maintaining consistency, concern for mental health and frustration when not seeing changes in weight status. The biggest of them all is keeping your motivation levels high. And this requires a very strong resolve in your mind. If you want to undo the damage that may already have been caused, you have to have a never say die attitude come what may. Do what it takes but stay focussed and motivated.
