Healthy, Wealthy and Wise

To be healthy, wealthy and wise must be everybody's dream. What is the most valuable? It has got to be health. Health is something you can't buy. Sometimes, though we don't give as much thought to our health as we should.
Youth has little or no time for anything as boring as health, yet our early years are very important when it comes to building a 'health platform' for our future. When you're young you don't give a second thought to health - that is until something goes wrong, but you believe that it never will.
What we eat when we are young is mostly up to other people. All we try and do is to avoid green vegetables and anything that is said to 'be good for us'. Things that are 'good for you' you believe taste awful. You far prefer candy and cola.
When we become teenagers we begin to notice others and make comparisons. This is the first time we become aware of how we look. It's the first time it becomes an important issue in our lives.
Parents often have a difficult job convincing their children to eat green vegetables. At an early age, we are not the least interested in what is good for us. We rebel against what we don't like, and in far too many instances parents lose out to headstrong children. The resulting diet in those crucial years is often not as good as it should, or could be.
An overweight teenager is often not a happy person. It is often very difficult to make them realize that if they want to change it will take a considerable effort. Many are not able to make that commitment to change for a variety of reasons.
The only real way of attacking the problem is to develop an awareness of what caused the overweight state in the first place. In a young person this can be difficult as much of the problem was probably laid down when they were being brought up. Recognising where the fault lies can be complicated.
To make change easier it is better not to confront what needs to be changed. It is far better to make that change by learning new habits - slim habits, if you like. This way it will seem like a new beginning, not wrestling with the past.
