Don't Wait Until You Have a Heart Attack to Change Your Life

I've been motivating positive health habits for years.  I was one of the original StayWell Health Management Consultants.  We were ahead of the curve in the early 1980's.  At that time it was considered novel to be providing worksite health risk assessments and programs to reduce health risks within employee populations.  Today, it's finally considered a necessary component in the race to contain healthcare costs and improve our wellbeing.  Oh how I wish people could look into their future and see how their lifestyles are impacting their future health.  A dear friend of mine recently had a heart attack.  He had a family health history of heart disease.  He carried ongoing work related stress.  He smoked.  He lived like he was invincible. Don't wait until you have a heart attack to change your life.  Take a look at your family health risk factors and if you have specific risks talk with your doctor to see how you can lower those risks.  What you do today will make a difference tomorrow.  You have things you need to do, there are children you want to nurture, there is a beach you want to stroll and a dance you haven't danced.  Don't wait until you have a heart attack or other major health issue to change your lifestyle....what you do today does make a difference and I don't want you to miss a thing.
