A Book You Can Dip Into Anytime!
I was at the PSA Convention this week. PSA is the Professional Speakers Association. I met up with some of my best friends; successful, inspiring, wonderful people who are keen to help each other to Step Up to the next level!
At this conference one of my dear dear friends, a man I adore a great deal, handed me a book that he has just written and published. It's a book that I believe should be on the bookshelf of every home.
It's called Things I Have Learnt From My... Father/Son. Co-written by Paul Bridle and his son David.
It's full of quotes, thoughts and feelings to help you learn about your Father or your Son.

A quote from the learning was "Food is to be appreciated not scoffed!" This is a great quote and one I'll be reminding my readers of again and again. In fact, it represents a fundamental principle of healthy eating.

Nutrition Programme Creates Massive Response

I've spent the past couple of months developing a new Nutrition Programme.
In the UK the government is working hard at promoting healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle because the rate of obesity in our children is increasing. Research shows that the number of obese children has double in the 10 years – government figures show 1995–2004 one in four children aged 11-15 are obese. Including those with threatening health issues it respresents 46% of children in total.
Almost ½ of girls classified as obese or overweight (increased from 15% t0 27% obese).
The number of boys diagnosed as obese, aged 11-15 years has increased from 14% to 24%
Colin Waine chairman National Obesity Forum – claims there is a Public Time Bomb with an Increased number of people that will die of cancer in their 50’s.
1 in 4 adults in England are obese.

• In the UK, 17% of men and 21% of women are obese
These are scarey statistics (Isn't it a good job I didn't post this yesterday, otherwise you might judge my sense of humour, Ha ha!)

Being obese can be harmful to health. It can increase the risk of a number of diseases including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers
The only way to tackle obesity is through healthy eating and exercise, which requires a change in mindset.
This is probably the reason why so much interest has been shown in my new program.

I'll be sharing some of my thoughts over the next few blog postings.
