Crossover Benefits

SALE!!! 2 for 1!!!! These signs always grab my attention.  My wife is currently at a restaurant picking up our dinner with a Buy One, Get One Free coupon.  These deals can be really beneficial.  If you are already planning to buy something, it can be awesome to get a bonus to go along with it.  Sales like these can be a real time saver and budget helper.

Your health also can come with Buy One, Get One Free type activities.  When you go out for a jog/run/walk you get the added benefit of fresh air for your lungs.  It's a 2 for 1 special.  Jog/Run/Walk also gives you the added bonus of craving additional water which helps to flush out toxins and cleanse your body overall.

A few of the other Buy One, Get One (or two or three or four) benefits are:

-Exercise lowers stress
-Going outdoors for fresh air exposes you to the sun (which in moderation, usually about 15-20 minutes per day is extremely healthy) which will provide needed vitamin D.
-Losing a few pounds reduces the weight and workload on your body which provides extra energy to go for a walk/jog which in turn provides an opportunity for more weight loss.

Health is a Spiral.  You are either on an upward spiral where one healthy choice feeds another healthy choice which allows for another healthy choice or on a downward spiral which works in the opposite direction.  That is why this plan can/will work for you.  Make one good choice this week (less soda, more fiber, more exercise, a salad instead of burger, etc.) and it will feed your desire to continue making good choices.  Put a stop to the downward spiral and start an upward cycle today.
