Some really good thoughts here that coincide with my own feelings about working at being healthy and living a long and happy life. We really need to get our heads straight and quit trying to lose a couple of extra pounds instead of focusing on the big picture and living a healthy life. Sadly, the only time most people focus on their health is when they think they need to lose some weight. Living a healthy life is positive. Just trying to lose weight is negative.
Eat less; move more; live longer.

How do we know? What do we base our answers on? What are the signs we’re transitioning from healthy to unhealthy?

What do the following conditions all have in common?
High Blood Pressure
High Cholesterol
Blood clots
Pancreatic Cancer
Sudden Onset Heart Attacks
Diabetes
Positive Testing For The HIV Virus
Osteoporosis
Aneurysm
Typically, none of these conditions produce SYMPTOMS early on. What about early breast cancer, early prostate cancer and early colon cancer? What about hepatitis C? Again, no sign of SYMPTOMS!
There are countless conditions we may develop, yet we haven’t become a paranoid society fearing the ABSENCE OF SYMPTOMS? WHY?
