Dallin Oaks, a former university president, state Supreme Court Justice, now global church leader taught, “We make countless choices in life, some large and some seemingly small. Looking back, we can see what a great difference some of our choices made in our lives. We make better choices/decisions if we look at the alternatives and ponder where they will lead.”
The same is true with eating—an activity we do one (for you intermittent fasters out there), three, or more times a day.
If I eat this every day for the next 50 years what would it do to my body?
If you’re OK with the result then that’s a good indication you’re eating intentionally. If not, you may need to adjust the frequency with which you eat said food item.
Another way to look at it is picture your 70 year-old body. No really. What does it look like? What preventable chronic diseases do you have or don’t have? Then, make the effort to learn, create, and follow a plan so the body and health you imagine becomes your reality when you get there. And beyond.
Will there be unforeseen health challenges? Does it always go according to plan? Of course not. Without a plan though you’re assured mediocre results at best. As the saying goes, “if you fail to plan you plan to fail.”
You’re not mediocre. That’s not for you. So make a plan.
