Lesson 5 "Our health is not just a fad."
In Lesson 5, we are going to address the fact that we have to take a long-term view of our health. You cannot wake up tomorrow, make a bunch of drastic changes, and expect it to last. Our health is going to be a long journey--and one without set destination. Our health is composed of the daily struggle to eat a little better, work on our mental, social, and spiritual selves, and to incorporate some ways to move our body. We cannot achieve good health with fads.
