it's time

it's time to treat your body how it deserves to be treated.

it's time to realise your body is there for no other reason but to serve you. Your body is here to stay. Its in for the long run. It will never lie to you, or trick you or go behind you back.

So why are you punishing it? Why are you critisizing it and bashing it around? RESPECT your body.

So many of us see junk food and stuff we 'probably shouldn't have' as treats. Really? Do you really think your body, which relies so much on what you put in your mouth thinks of those foods as 'treats'? No! Junk food punishes your body. It doesn't give it what it needs. No energy, no vitamins, no antioxidants, nothing that your body would consider a treat. And how can you expect your body to perform when you just give it crap?

Yet we complain about how tired we are, how unfit we are, how often we get sick, how many pimples we have.

Eating healthy is nourishing for your body. When people eat well, they feel well, they feel happy. When I'm munching on a healthy snack I'm concious of how it is rewarding my body, of how this is going to benefit me.

It's time to flip around that view that food that is bad for you is what you want, and eating healthy is a chore. It's not! It's taking care of yourself. It's being good to yourself.

Take care of your body. Rest it well every night, feed it better every day, take it for a spin as often as you can, and rememeber, you've got it for life.

Sleep tight

p.s. sorry about the odd format... I've been writing a speech for school & it seems I can no longer write in proper sentences ;).
