Join the Minority

According to a Michigan University study (yeah, yeah, I know... not another study!!) only 3% of Americans follow the health advice of:

1. Keeping the weight off.
2. Exercising regularly.
3. Eating five or more servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
4. Not smoking.

BTW, that is NOT a typo above... it's not 30% of us who are living healthy lifestyles... it's only 3 out of 100 people that do all of the above.

That statistic makes me ill. Truly. Of course all I have to do is go out to witness the truth of the above statistic. Everywhere I turn I see not just overweight people, but morbidly obese people. And I'm not talking about the odd person here and there... In the course of walking around a mall or grocery store I'll probably see at least a dozen people that make me wonder how they're able to function. And the majority of the time what do you think I see them holding? Some sort of fast food item or a soda.

I find it both sad and maddening at the same time.

Do yourself a favor: Shoot for the top 3%.
