Hey
It was my birthday on Sunday the 16th and I turned 41.
I had a great time with my family and friends as they came over to my house to celebrate with me.
I posted some videos and pictures on social media and I was visited with some great comments.
Many people expressed some surprise about my look, some said I look way younger than 41 and many couldn’t believe I was a day older than 35 and these comments felt really nice.
A few years ago I became intentional about my lifestyle choices after I realised that my habits and behaviours were strong predictors of graceful ageing.
I had admired women like Jane Fonda, Angela Bassett, Jenifer Lopez, for many years and all these women have a consistent exercise regimen and eat pretty clean too.
Asides from these women in particular I took several classes on nutrition by Harvard Health, a weight loss course by Emory University and a health and wellness course from Reeds UK and all the information I received played a big part in all the amazing comments I got on my birthday.
I want to remind you today about the power you have.
You have the power through your habits and behaviours to impact the way you look, the level of energy you are doing life with and to an extent how long you live (I know this is in God’s hands but he’s also given you some power, use your habits to activate it).
Come to think of it, there was no mention of a microwave in the garden of Eden so I believe Adam & Eve ate a plant based diet (lol).
The first thing to remember is that the body ages every single day and ageing cannot be stopped.
It’s exactly like gravity, you cannot stop it.
But YOU CAN determine (to a large extent) THE WAY you age.
I know this because I met two men in their 60’s.
One exercises regularly, eats little or no animal protein, eats fruits & vegetables daily, drinks red wine in moderation, while the other man doesn’t drink any alcohol, eats animal protein without limits, exercises only when he remembers and generally doesn’t prioritise vegetables in his meals.
You know what?
The former looks impeccable, walks with a straight posture, hardly falls sick and still wears little shorts (lol), while the other has a pot belly, always needs to sit down, dozes off easy because he’s always tired and could never pull off little shorts(lol). I have known them for over seven years now.
The compliments I got on my birthday happened because my lifestyle choices are similar to the first man I mentioned in this story.
I exercise at least 5 days in a week, I observe meatless days(also known as plant based diet), I eat fruits daily (over 2 years straight now) and water is the major source of hydration for me. I also cannot believe the transformation I am experiencing and the two most significant ones are HIGH ENERGY & STRENGTH.
You can transform your outcomes exactly as I have if you are willing to adopt the lifestyle choices that create those outcomes.
Ask yourself
“Am I okay with my energy levels?”
“Am I okay with my physical strength?”
“Do I like how I look and feel?”
If you are thinking
“It want to walk up a flight of stairs without losing my breath”
“I will definitely like to run around more with my kids”
“I don’t want to feel tired all the time”
If you have all these thoughts and you would like to make them your reality then let’s talk.
