One two three four - you are obese

Every fourth German adult is now overweight. According to a survey by the Robert Koch Institute, 25% of all adults are obese. Obesity, as obesity is called, primarily affects women over the age of 30 and the lower educated classes are well represented. 

(I always say: stupidity eats - intelligence drinks). 

 

 The increasing number of obesity surgeries such as stomach reduction or the removal of fat aprons also shows the problems caused by being overweight in Germany. Those are the ugly scraps of skin that often remain when a fat person loses weight. According to the Techniker Krankenkasse, the number of surgical procedures nationwide among those insured by the substitute health insurance funds increased by 65 percent from 2009 to 2012. 

 

Needless to say, diabetes and cardiovascular disease go hand in hand. What I actually think the worst is the high number of overweight children and young people. A time bomb is ticking here, which will probably cause big trouble in the future.

Watch out before you need this

I have got all the time in the world

Since I decided last year to start Club 115 I have all the time in the world. I was 64 year old and my aim is to live up to a minimum of 115 years. This gives me another 50 years from now on. Wow! 50 years from now on. This is about all my active life so far. And all again! Incredible. All the things I can do in these 50 coming 50 years. And there is no limitation by thinking life will end soon. Most die around seventy. Not me. I invite you all to attend my 115th birthday. And then we see.

Water is considered the first principle for health

 

Many illnesses are caused to the lack of drinking water. Enough water! We give the plants and the animals enough water and the same the human needs lot of it. About 70 percent of our physical body consits of water. And so does mother earth. About 70 percent of the earths surface is covered by water. And I personal believe the universe itself is made of 70 percent of water too. where is no water, or not enough life cannot prosper. 

What does water do? In our body it clears the system of all the waste which comes continously inside the body, with food, influence from the enviroment and if not dischareged by drinking enough water, the body builds up germs, microbes, spores and bacteria. Water too regulates the temperature inside the body. 

A normal adult excretes about one and a half  to two pints of water daily. Water is exhaled through the lungs too and the urine system discharges another maybe three pints within 24 hours. If these amounts are not proper replaced by water intake, the body will suffer badly over the time and various illnesses will acure.

Therefor, drink plenty of water. If you live in an area with good public water supply, the usual tap water is just fine. Be aware with boittled water, often it contains too much minerals, salts etc. or even is just tap water from a different place.

Life expectancy. Poor people die earlier!

Poor people die five years earlier. 

Those who earn a lot live significantly longer. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (Germany) have compared the life expectancy of poor and rich Germans. The differences are significant. And they are getting bigger and bigger.

When it comes to life expectancy, the gap between rich and poor is widening. This is the result of a study by the German Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research.

In 2008, 65-year-old men with high pensions could expect to live on an average of 20 years. Their peers with very low pensions only lived another 15 years. The gap between rich and poor has continued to widen in recent years.

In the mid-1990s, a rich pensioner in West Germany had a life expectancy that was three years longer than a man with a low pension, while in East Germany the difference was three and a half years. In 2008, the gap in West Germany was already 4.8 years and in the East 5.6 years. The greatest factor in prolonging life is apparently a high level of education, which the rich get more often than the poor. It is important to know "how to behave," said Rembrandt Scholz of the Max Planck Institute. This leads to a healthier diet, better opportunities on the job market and higher earnings. Presumably also more thorough medical care. According to the information, data from the German pension insurance system was evaluated for the study, which covers 86 percent of the male population. Women and migrants are not included in the study.

Have a good discipline

Easy to say "you need better discipline". 

But how to get the discipline I need?

Well, I recognised, the main precondition for real discipline is to have a strong purpose. 

A very strong purpose which is truly on your mind. 

And you are after it. You want it!

When I tested this idea first on myself, I was so convinced that I recommended it to friends and clients.

And guess what? It works! Everybody who commits to a personal strong goal 

finds it very easy to be disciplined.

Yes, it is that easy!

How old are you now?
