"Anyone can support a team that is winning—it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage." — Bart Starr

Congratulations to all my fellow Gunners out there...

Enjoy this moment...You deserve it.

Taking care of your health and well-being isn't just about self-care...

It is also one of the greatest gifts to everyone around you...

When you prioritize your health, you aren't just investing in your own future — You are supporting the people who rely on your strength, your presence, your productivity and your smile...

If you care about those around you, you should care about your health...

Keep active and stay healthy, folks.

Keep active and stay healthy, folks.

Not entirely true!

Whoever wrote this clearly doesn’t understand that health is not determined in the hospitals…Health is mostly a product of our lifestyles, our environments, our behaviors, and to some extent, our genetics…

Most of the factors that determine health are outside the control of health professionals…

But having said that, we, health professionals, still have a lot to do to improve the quality of care and the health outcomes for our patients….

Consistency and progress over intensity or perfection...

Regular and consistent moderate physical activity, even for as little as 20-30 minutes on most days of the week, will yield better long-term health benefits than occasional intense exercise....

And very few people can genuinely say they don't have 20-30 minutes to invest in their health...

More often than not, "...I don't have time for exercise..." is just another way of saying "...exercise is not a priority..."

If something is important, we'll always create time for it...

Keep active and stay healthy, folks.

"The Doctor of the future will give no medication but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease" ~ Thomas A. Edison.

Edison said this over a 100 years ago...

That "future" is now!

Now more than ever, we need to focus on preventing illness rather than just treating symptoms...

We need to move away from 'medicine-dependancy' towards empowering people to manage their own health...

But how then shall we encourage our clients to adopt healthier lifestyles if we can't do it ourselves?

As health professionals, we need to personally model healthy lifestyle habits before we can effectively advise others to do the same...

We are often viewed as role models for healthy behavior...

Let's set the right example...

Happy Monday and keep healthy, folks...

A bit late to get started for the year, but we're now up and running... literally.

We showed up and gave it our best.

And that's pretty much the plan for the rest of the year: show up every day, give it our absolute best, and trust the process.

It's the least we can do. We hope you do the same.

Because our bodies are not designed to survive chronic inactivity; we have evolved to require adequate levels of physical activity to function well and survive.

Happy Monday, folks.

Dream big....Hustle hard....And stay focused.

Dreams don't become reality just by us wishing they do....With sweat, determination and focus, we've got to make them come true....

Keep hustling...Keep pushing.

And may God continue blessing the works of our hands...

In fact, you can actually slow down your aging with a healthier lifestyle.

While your chronological age (age in years) and biological age (a measure of how well your body functions) are related, they're not exactly the same!

Some people may be 60 years old but biologically function like someone much younger. Similarly, some people may be 40 years old but function like a 50 year old.

And, your biological age may even be a stronger predictor of your health than your chronological age.

While you can not change your age in years and your genetics, you can influence how fast you age.

You don't have to be older than you actually are....You can stay young for as long as possible...

The formula is simple...

Stay Active. Eat and drink healthy. Sleep healthy. And manage your stress....

Happy Monday, and Stay young folks...
