There are other things to worry about, that will kill you, but shark is not one of them, even if you are a surfer.
Yes it happens occasionally, and it is gruesome.
But, chances are very low to get attacked by shark. like I said, even if you are a surfer on Northern California coast, where there is the most of them, and you surf everyday.
People get frightened of water, especially after seeing in the news, that somebody got attacked by shark.
I have a friend, who will be going to Hawaii for a week. She was swearing to me the other day that she is not going to step into the water at all. Not a chance!
Well, my friend is slightly overweight and she is only 30, she drinks lots of soda, alcohol, she doesn’t exercise and she smokes like a chimney.
I wanted to bet her 100 bucks that diabetes and eventually heart attack is going to get her sooner than shark, even if she swam around the Farallon islands everyday. But I ended up biting my tongue and not saying anything.
Anyway, the real things to worry about – the real danger comes from:
- Diabetes
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Fast driving
- Cancer
And you actually have pretty good control to eliminate these dangers yourself.
Compare to shark attack. That’s just being very unlucky, and being on the wrong spot at the wrong time.

The more you love your body, the better you’ll take care of it, the better you’ll be able to enjoy your life.
You love your body, when you don’t put any junk food in it.
You love your body, when you give it enough sleep.
You love your body, when you lift weights regularly.
You love your body, when you do your cardiovascular exercise regularly.
You love your body, when you stretch regularly.
You love your body, when you eat 7 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
You love your body, when you say “no” to your boss, when he asks you to work on Saturday and instead you spent the day on the beach relaxing.
You love your body, when you give it enough protein.
You love your body when you don’t drink Coke.
You love you body when you don’t eat fries.
It’s all about the love. You love your body, it loves you back and you love your life.
But the opposite is also true too. If you neglect your body and don’t find time to take care of it, and love it, it won’t love you back, and your life will be miserable.
Choose carefully.

I don’t have anything against big, hard, solid, muscular, fit asses.
But if your ass and gut is big flabby fat storage, it’s time to get to work.
That’s a warning sign to get you from that ass and do something about it.
Because your health, your energy, your attitude, your performance and your whole life depends on it.

Do you already know what to do to get your body fit?
Do you already know what to eat to loose weight and feel good?
Did you already read 11 articles in your local paper about right eating, exercising and how to achieve great health?
Did you already read 2 books about how to loose weight?
Did you go to a few seminars, to learn how to do it?
If you did all of that already, you surely already know at least 80% of what to do.
But, you continue taking more seminars, reading more books and talking to more trainers, thinking, that more knowledge will help you overcome fear of actually doing what’s in the books.
If you do, you are a seminar junkie.
All the fit people I know are working their asses off in the gyms and running tracks, while you are reading that other book about how to loose weight sitting comfortably in your living room.
My advice for you?
You don’t really need my advice. Just close that book, turn off that computer, cancel that seminar and get out and do some real physical exercise.
You already know which one it is.

Once upon a time, doctors relied upon the body mass index (BMI) to determine who was at risk for heart disease and other dangerous health conditions like diabetes and stroke.
These days, that’s old-school.
There is a method out there, that’s more accurate and much easy to calculate.
It’s called the waist-to-hip-ratio.
You simply measure your waist and divide it by the measurement of your hips.
If the number you get is higher than 0.8 in women or o.9 in men, you are in a health dangerous zone.
The higher the waist-to-hip ratio, the higher your risk of heart attack and other dangerous health conditions like diabetes and stroke.
If you are over the cutoff point but think like many overweight people that you eat right and you are active, think again.
If your waist is almost as big as your hips or bigger, you don’t eat right. Maybe you are active a little, but what you eat is bad stuff.
The interesting thing is that, even if you don’t exercise at all and you eat right stuff you would not be overweight and your waist-to-hip-ratio would be low.
To take this a little further; if your waist to hip ratio is higher than safe number, I recommend you to don’t exercise at all, keep that comfort zone, but eat 100% right and watch your weight go down.
If you exercise, great, but the nutrition is the key to keeping your weight down.

Exercise is critical for your heart, brain and health. But too many people are avoiding it.
There are still people out there that will tell you, that exercise is actually waist of energy. So instead of wasting it, they store it and then they get very sick, because they stored too much of it. If you are one of these people, start working very hard on changing these assumptions.
I will say it again: Exercise is critical to your health.
Here are most often-heard reasons why people avoid exercising:
“It hurts.”
“It’s boring.”
“It’s not fun.”
“It makes me feel tired the rest of the day.”
“I don’t know what to do.”
“It’s embarrassing.”
“I don’t have time.”
I kind of understand these reasons. But it is unacceptable to not exercise because of these little things. Either you figure out the way to move your body on regular basis or you don’t. And if you don’t, you will suffer. As sure as gravity.
Although walking your dog is moving your body, and while it’s good for your dog, it doesn’t provide enough meaningful exercise for you. Walking your dog doesn’t count.
You have to make a conscious choice and effort to exercise. If you don’t, you are launching yourself down a path fraught with tremendous medical risks and disabilities, (so easy avoidable with intensive and regular exercise) affecting not only your life but also your family’s.
