Cheap Fix to Old
Problems
Water, Exercise, and You
Whether you are a healthy 21 year old
or an older person with diabetes and/or hypertension,
you are probably thinking of
New Year’s resolutions. So how many are
on your list? Lose weight, save money, get
in shape, stop smoking, control sugar,
lower cholesterol or blood pressure??? So,
where to start? With the positive!
Start drinking more water today. Instead
of a glass of juice or a cup of coffee,
have a large glass of water. Flushes the systems,
gets the gut working right, clears the
complexion, and can even cure a headache.
Then eat your breakfast. If you want to go
to a higher level, have oatmeal, with walnuts,
dried fruit, and yogurt as your starter
meal.
Morning people can run, walk, get on
the treadmill or Wii, and boost their energy
and calorie expenditures for most of the
morning with a 30 minute work out. Sweat
a little – if you are going to sweat a lot,
drink the water first, workout, and then do
the breakfast, with another large glass of
water.
You have just invested in the most important
portfolio you can have – YOU!
This little AM piece will set you up for
more energy for the day, better sugar and
blood pressure control, and a more relaxing
sleep at night. If you get into this habit, you
will end up with a healthier, younger appearing
body, and savings from all the medications
you will not have to buy.
Now, if you have already been guilty
of a few overindulgences in your life, and
have a pharmacy of pills in your cabinet,
don’t lose hope. Even 80 year olds, who
have been couch potatoes, gain muscle
mass, energy, lower cholesterol and blood
pressure with ….WATER and EXERCISE.
Cheap fix. But the most important thing is
to start doing something NOW.
You do not have to join a gym, or invest
in special equipment, other than a good
pair of shoes. Walk, then walk some more
– start with 5 minutes twice a day – out to
get the mail, or down the street. Smile –
people will wonder what you are up to.
Then gradually increase your walking to
10, 15, 20 minutes twice a day. If you
work, walk around the building, up and

down the stairs, go out during lunch, and
give your brain a break, smell the air, look
at the changing scenery. Get a dog – they
will be happy to walk you three times a day
or more. If you are inside with kids – they
need exercise as much as you do – makes
them happier, and better able to focus.
(ADD studies have shown 30 minutes of
exercise before children go to school, gives
them a morning of focus!)
Kids like to dance, to move, to play
movement games – remember the hokey
pokey, get that one foot moving, and shake
it all about. Then reward everyone with a
glass of water, or athletic bottles of water,

which you can wash out and refill.
Once you get a basic program down,
you may find that you are hooked on exercise!
You now are ready for the Y or a gym,
and OUTFITS. They are some of the
bonuses that you can have for investing in
you.

exercise because it feels so good when you
quit. Whatever.... just do it! With water.
