And here’s your cheat sheet answer: never.

If the amount of flouride in a pea-sized drop of toothpaste is enough to get a warning label on the box, why isn’t there a warning label on our drinking water? In the average glass of water from the tap, there’s about the same amount of flouride, and it’s destroying your teeth…not to mention possibly your other bones, too.

Don’t take my word for it. Watch this video from an expert dentist who’s been in the business for over 30 years. He’ll show you why flouride shouldn’t be near you, your kids, or the drinking water from your faucet.

Stay tuned,

P.S. Don’t hire me as your writer if you’re looking to take it easy and spend your days at the mall. Because I write to get search engine ranking, traffic, and other conversion results. So you’d probably end up having to work more than you’d like trying to figure out what to do with your successful website…and where to send the money.

Is It All About YOU?

Have you had a night where you just couldn’t sleep? So you got up, went into the living room, turned on the TV, laid on the couch, and watched infomercials. Right? I mean; unless you have some premium movie channel (which we don’t because the description is an oxymoron) you won’t get much on TV at 2:00 a.m.

Have you ever noticed how many of those infomercials are about fitness and health related products? It’s a gigantimongous industry. People want to look like models, never get sick, and live forever…or at least a really long time. And they want to look the same until they die. As a culture we’re overweight, overfed, undernourished, out of shape, lacking hope, and just plain burnt out.

That’s a shame. But the worst part is…we think the solution must be complicated. We think it must be in the right combination of diet products, or vitamins, or exercise gurus.

(obnoxious buzzer sound inserted here) Wrong!

It’s none of those things. And it’s not complicated. Oh sure, we can make it complicated, and if you need to wrap your brain around some big words like phytonutrients or hyluronic or mass-spectrographic-isotonic-double-biothermal-diophonoscope, then let’s get to it. But if you prefer to follow the K.I.S.S. formula (keep it super simple), I’ve got good news for you. It really is simple.

You know what causes 99% of obesity and other overweight conditions? An old-fashioned word…gluttony. You know what else makes sure you stay that way? Another old-fashioned word…slothfulness. I know…I know…it sounds so harsh. Sorry, but it’s true.

Now those words just mean you’re putting too much in and you’re not burning enough off.

I’ve got a “super simple” acronym to remember to get you started on the road to realization about the weight problem you may be experiencing. I’ll share that with you in another article in this series. First, though, I want to also talk about a couple of the other related potential problems. For instance, you may not realize how food is only one of the culprits in the battle of the bulges.

That’s right…much of the fluids you put into your body dramatically add to the weight problems. Right about now you’re thinking…OK, he’s gonna tell me to stop drinking colas. Well, actually I’m not. Sure; it would be a great idea for you to stop drinking them altogether, but even if you can reduce your intake, you can see excellent results. However; there’s a ton of evidence that shows how you ought to completely stop drinking diet drinks. Unless you enjoy ingesting the equivalent of rat poison anyway.

Truth Or Scare

Wow…could that possibly be true? Don’t take my word for it. I’m just a guy who reads about this stuff, and the evidence is startling and massive. Just “Google” the term “diet drinks” or “diet drinks” + health. It only stands to reason when you take something natural, like sugar, and replace it with “flavorings” like aspartame and others, something’s gotta give. And it’s usually the notches in your belt. It can also be lesions on your brain, though, and you really don’t want those.

Well, that’s enough to process right now. Believe me when I tell you, if you’re overweight, in almost every case…it’s your fault. And no “diet” is gonna help without you wrapping your mind around that and taking responsibility for your own health. In fact, in almost all cases, you don’t need a diet. You need a healthy lifestyle. Read other articles of mine to learn more about that. I’m not a doctor, and I don’t play one on TV. I’m just a guy who cares about my fellow human beings. Let’s stay well and live longer.

Start Your Engines

So…who are you counting on anyway? Who are you looking to for motivation? Is it your friends? Your family? Your spouse? Your boss?

While you should appreciate good advice from all those people, I recommend you don’t look to them for real, lasting motivation. Why? I’m glad you asked. Well, what if you’re depending on a friend to keep you “pumped up” and that friend moves to the other side of the country? Sure, emails are always available, but you and I both know it’s not the same as being together in person…or even on the phone.

Stop Buggin’

In fact, if you’re depending on a family member or a spouse or a boss, you’ll find many distractions or obstacles can block your success. Maybe they’re just not in a good mood or even “in the mood”. Maybe you’ve had a disagreement, and they’re just tired of having to lift your spirits for the umpteenth time. Perhaps they just think it’s your turn to motivate them for a change. See what I mean? Feelings and moods can change. Don’t depend on them.

Hey, I know what! You could go to your local book store and get a motivational self-help book. They’re full of techniques, systems, or blueprints guaranteed to get you out of your doldrums and back on the road to rosy cheeks and dimpled smiles. Do you detect a hint of sarcasm? Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of books, manuals, pamphlets, and ezines to help you straighten out your thinking. And many of them are great to start your thinking process or your creativity, but remember…I’m talking about real Lasting motivation. Not the fly-by-night kind.

Look Under Your Hat

So, do this mean there’s really no one you can count on for the motivation you need? Quite the contrary oh searching one. There is one person who knows you like the back of your hand. In fact, this person actually had a massive part in the development of the back of your hand. In fact…take a look at the back of your hand right now. Follow it up the arm, over the shoulder, around the neck, and look directly into the face of the one who can motivate you more (and more efficiently) than anyone else. No, I’m not talking about the “monkey on your back” silly. It’s YOU. Impossible you say? Nay nay I say.

Stay tuned to learn about the U in YOU. You’re gonna love this…
