A dear friend posted on her Facebook wall... "remember to wear blue tomorrow for Diabetes Awareness Day!" Knowing my friend she has a big heart and means well with her post and it inspired me to respond through this post. I did't know that there is such a day. BUT I do know that wearing blue is not going to cure or prevent diabetes. It will not bring back my grandmother who got her legs amputated because of Diabetes and died from the complications of this disease. I am sorry to say that wearing blue tomorrow will also NOT help my loved ones who were diagnosed with Diabetes, miraculously get rid of it just because. Diabetes does not know color. It is a deadly disease if not treated accordingly.
Thank you my dear friend for posting this as I am reminded why I am so passionate about Beachbody, about their fitness products like P90X, Insanity, Turbo Jam, about Shakeology. I am mostly reminded about my "why". I joined as a Team Beachbody Coach because I want to make a difference in this world. I want to be healthy. I want you, my family and friends to share it with me. I love Beachbody not because the logo is blue but because Beachbody and the American Diabetes Association are working together to STOP DIABETES.
Here is a fact..."According to the American Diabetes Association, regular exercise may prevent type 2 diabetes in those at risk. For those with diabetes, regular exercise may improve blood glucose control, reduce cardiovascular risk factors, contribute to weight loss, and improve well being."
Sounds simple enough, right? But why is it so hard to do??? See this is one reason why we need coaches - health coaches = Beachbody coaches. I don't think it is just genetics, it could also be social pressure, bad habits and lack of education and awareness. It could be a myriad of things. Whatever the reason is, regret is not going to solve the (any) problems either. But this can be a lesson learned not just for me but for all of us. I can't bring back time to wish that my ancestors practiced this and passed it on to my generation. But what I can do is share what I know now...to YOU!!! Be an advocate for change for awareness by educating others that there is a solution to Diabetes and Obesity one person at a time. With proper diet and exercise, one day at a time, we will see results in ourselves, with each other and with our society. And it does not have to be expensive and complicated. Here is the Beachbody Solution. Check it out!
