So why the heck wouldn't you take care of it?
I haven't always valued my body in the way I should. I've overindulged, underfed, and had my share of days spent despising myself. And truth be told, I sometimes still have days like that. But I've learned that who I am physically is part of an incredible masterpiece. My body is fantastically designed and as its steward, I need to take care of it.
So what does that mean?
Well, I need to eat to live and not live to eat. I need to put healthy, whole foods into my body, and I need to take time every week to exercise and strengthen my body. And the best part is, it's not about feeling guilt-free or just doing what's "right". It's about physical rewards!
I've learned that if I:
- eat a diet largely comprised of fruits and vegetables
- purposfully give my body the vitamins it needs through whole foods
- indulge without overeating
- eat only when I'm hungry
- exercise regularly
- naturally lose weight
- have more energy
- have elevated moods
- sleep better
- have better skin
- the list goes on and on!!!
