JUST NOW - JILLIAN MICHAELS GETS A STANDING OVATION, for this EPIC PRESENTATION about the Chronic Disease Epidemic, one she describes as "an extinction level event". THIS IS A MUST WATCH
"What has happened to us? I'm here to tell you, in the late 70's and the early 80's, a sinister series of events converged to change food and subsequently health indefinitely...[we were] blindly trusting that the powers that be would never betray us...it seemed unthinkable to question whether a corporation would poison us for profit [and] it was this betrayal of trust that allowed them to insidiously infiltrate EVERY PART OF OUR LIVES"
This is one of the best overviews I've ever witnessed on how the whole system has been rigged, in what is essentially a "bad health by design" framework
As Jillian Michaels says emphatically - People have been "sacrificed at the alter of corporate greed"
Who is this funny, sarcastic, lip kissing, song singing, protective, 5T wearing, 46 weighting, fearless 3 year old that’s living in my house? Not the baby I gave birth to
Experience life without posting about everything that happens. Meet new people without considering it "networking." Be creative without creating "content." Master a skill that's not at all useful, but totally enjoyable. Stop playing life like it's a game to be won. Stop making every decision based on some stupid equation or algorithm. Stop treating everything and everyone as a metric to be monetized. Just do shit to do shit because new shit is good shit, and cool shit is fun shit, and real shit is the shit.
We make dinner together, eat at the dinner table, read, dance, sing and play.
As parents, we’re tired, sleep deprived, overwhelmed, anxious… all of that and beyond- but my kids will not be given an iPad or watch tv bc it’s the most convenient #bepresent#theygrowuptoofast
This is an MRI image of 3 people:
The top is a 40 year old triathlete.
The middle is a 74 year old sedentary person.
The bottom is a 70 year old triathlete.
The dark part is the muscle and the light part is the fat.
What you see is that a 70 year old may be able to retain the same amount of muscle and bone density as a 40 year old if maintained through exercise.
If not, then you suffer the fate of the 74 year old sedentary person.
The lesson? You either use it or lose it.
Stay active and train consistently to live a long and prosperous life.
