changing habits

Habits are a big deal because they inform everything we do, including the ways we define ourselves. Being healthy is not an accident , a stroke of luck or by magic. IT IS A HABIT . it is a habit that will shape our bodies that we were born with, a habit that will support the genetic makeup we got from our parents. So, if we want to give ourselves a fighting chance to survive and thrive despite our bad backs, asthma, eczema, dodgy knees, we must develop habits that keep our systems operating at maximum.
