Again I find myself commenting on a subject outside Triathlon sport itself, but at the same time it has a direct bearing on lifestyle quality, which for me is subset of the mission statement I work with in reference to what message I want to convey to all that stumble across this content.
As is evident around you in the western world, obesity has a grip on a large percentage of the population.
The problem keeps rising because of inactivity and poor eating decisions that individuals themselves make.
Are the decisions you make influenced by your immediate circle of influence ,that is your friends or family or is the huge agribusiness that operates in the commercial underbelly of consumer thought manipulation responsible for the life style options that people adopt.
As always the more awareness you bring into your decision making, the more power you gain back from elements that seek to access you for their financial and herding manipulation.
By seeking a lifestyle that requires your body to be efficiant you need be fueled by subtances that support your body and the earth in substanability and not to the detriment of our resources just for the sake of the almighty dollar.
By stepping up to the start line you activate your ability to see through things that you may have accepted as being just the way things are. It does not mean you become a vegan radical or clothe your self in a smug righteousness as you pound your way around the street in your new Nikes ( Brand
herding).
By creating a situation where you become a small percentage of the population going in a different direction to the herd, you are able to see the manipulation that goes on to gain your body as the receptacle for offerings proffered by entities that have no qualms about spreading a lie to sustain the bottom line profit.
I though this video said some things that is good for people to be aware of.
