The Simplicity of Health

Why does getting healthy seem so hard!?!? According to this fortune cookie, it is quite easy: “Regenerate your system through diet and exercise. Save the cookies!” That seems rather boring. I heard an ad the other day that made the argument: people don’t like to work out, because they don’t do it. Seems so simple, but I believe it is true. There are a variety of ways to work out and one that would fit you perfectly. We know we feel better when we do it, and we even begin to enjoy the effort it takes, but getting started is sometimes the hardest part. This is true with the things we know we should be doing that can help strengthen our closeness to God. In order to regenerate our systems, we need a diet excluding the junk in our lives and to exercise with the equipment meant to strengthen our relationship with God.
