Aging Metabolism 2

Hi,

In our last post on aging metabolism I asked you if you could start changing tomorrow.

Changing your nutrition habits and your movement habits. These two things are what you need to do to fight the loss of muscle and the slowing of your metabolism as you age.

But, that was a trick question.

Most people would answer, sure I can start that tomorrow.

But, that is the wrong answer.

Tomorrow is a nebulous term. It is sometime in the future. It is something that might happen.

It is a good excuse for postponing actually doing something.

You know that life can get in the way of almost everything you do. And it is so easy to put something off until tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow until everything is perfect for you to do something.

If something is so important to you then you should do it right now. You should not wait until tomorrow.

Your answer should be, “No, I can’t wait until tomorrow. I need to start this right now.”

If your answer isn’t that, then you are pretty much doomed to fail.

I know that sounds pretty pessimistic and full of doom and gloom. But, it is also pretty realistic.

Look at New Year’s resolutions. Several studies show that these resolutions – based upon starting tomorrow or in the next few days – don’t last for more than a couple of weeks for most people.

A couple of weeks!

By the end of 6 weeks less than 10% of these resolutions are even remembered.

If it isn’t important enough to start right this minute then it just isn’t that important to you.

Maybe you need a wake up call – like a heart attack at 45. Or maybe you have to start taking insulin shots. Or maybe you can’t even play with your grandchildren because you are too out of shape or too heavy.

I don’t know what your trigger is, but there is one there somewhere. I urge you to find it.

Because every day you let become tomorrow, every day you let slide is a day you have slid further from your health.

Stop aging metabolism. Stop deteriorating. Start gaining strength. Start eating healthy.

Start right now.

Thanks,

Mike Val
