Lose That Belly and Improve Your Health


The picture above was a joke recently posted by someone on Facebook…”This is what David looked like after he spent 2 years in the U.S.”  Now why this is funny to you me, I think Michelangelo would not have laughed so much.  It’s also not a laughing matter if you are built like this!
According to the Mayo Clinic, men who carry belly fat are at a much greater risk for health problems, like: Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Stroke, Type 2 Diabetes, some types of cancer, Sleep apnea and this list goes on. 
According to their article, your waist is a good indicator for belly fat.  For most men, if you have a waist in excess of 40”, you are probably increasing your risk factors for heart disease and other diseases.
Physical activity, age, genes and alcohol intake are all factors towards belly fat.  Read the full article here.
While we know exercise is a big part of losing weight, so is proper nutrition.  You can get good nutrition through a proper diet, but with today’s hectic lifestyle, most Americans don’t take the time to prepare and eat healthier.  By making moderate choices and adding a good supplement to your daily routine can make a huge difference, not only towards losing weight, but also towards your overall health.
I highly recommend ID Nutrition.  In the first 30 days of taking it, I noticed a substantial increase in my overall energy levels.  I started getting much better sleep immediately.  Lastly, I lost 5 lbs. and at least an inch of my waistline.
If you want to learn more, watch this 2 minute video below.

Your Journey Towards Cardiovascular Health


Stone Hearth News recently posted an article online titled, Positive feelings may help protect cardiovascular health.  I found the data interesting that “optimistic individuals have a 50% reduced risk of experiencing an initial cardiovascular event compared to their less optimistic peers.”
This article also stated that, “The American Heart Association reports more than 2,200 Americans die of cardiovascular disease (CVD) each day, an average of one death every 39 seconds. Stroke accounts for about one of every 18 U.S. deaths.”
This hits home for me.  My father had a stroke in his early 40s.  He also had multiple hearts attacks over the following years of his life.  He ended up with a defibulator on his heart to keep him alive.  He died in his early 60s and never got a chance to meet his grandson, Asher.
While my father was optimistic and lived life to the fullest, he wasn’t great about taking care of his health.  He drank, smoke, got little rest, rarely worked out and had a diet that could have been better.  Don’t get me wrong, he was the best cook I ever knew, but it didn’t meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.  J
Like my father, I imagine that most of you reading this post don’t eat right, deal with high stress or don’t work-out enough.  That’s why it is important to take nutritional supplements.  Don’t believe me?  Listen to the call titled, “Why take supplements” with Paul Sullivan (recorded April 7, 2012).  Click here now.
You want to give yourself a chance to live longer and healthier, don’t you?  Taking supplements can give your body the nutrients it needs (that it isn’t getting from your diet) so you can fight off family genetics, like in my case: cardiovascular disease.  Will I have a heart attack or stroke some day?  I don’t know, but I do know that if I start taking care of myself now, that I give myself a better chance to meet my grandchildren!
If you’re anything like me, you’re thinking that this makes sense.  Let me tell you something…  It’s never too late to start improving your health.  Begin your journey today with a FREE Health Assessment and recommendation of nutrients from ID Nutrition.  It could be the best investment of time that you ever made!
Helping grandchildren meet their grandparents, one person at a time!
