4 Healthy Choices to Change Your Life

You can lower your risk of several chronic diseases by 80% if you exercise, eat well, don't smoke and avoid obesity, a study finds.

From the LA Times August 11, 2009 :

If people would just do four things --
1. engage in regular physical activity,
2. eat a healthy diet,
3. not smoke and
4. avoid becoming obese
(Technically the last two are not things to DO, they are things to NOT DO, but I'm splitting hairs)
-- they could slash their risk of diabetes, heart attack, stroke or cancer by 80%, a new report has found.

But less than 10% of the 23,000 people in the multiyear study actually lived their lives this way.


"What really has been difficult is trying to figure out how to get people to take notice of the message and engage in healthy behaviors,"said Dr. J. Leonard Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society.

I have a revolutionary idea. Let's let people win money for being healthy. I won $300 a while back just for logging in my workout in the free WOWY online supergym!

Better yet, let's create a system where anyone can get paid to live healthy.

Yeah, that's it! We'll let people start their own home-based business coaching others to get fit as they do the same thing themselves! Get Paid to Lose! Now that' s an incentive!

And we'll call the new business "BeachBum Coaching"... or something like that.
