On last week’s show we met Mario Colao. Mario had set himself up for health problems by over eating, drinking and smoking. In fact early one morning at the age of just 28 years old he suffered a heart attack that almost took his life. It was a major wake up call that he had to do something...but he had “said it all before” he tried countless times to lose weight and failed. How could he make it work this time? What would be different about his approach, and how would his life change once he started seeing some success. In today’s show we learn what Mario went through, how it felt when he started to see that this time was going to be different and how the lessons he learned along the way translate to just about any goal you want to achieve in life.

On today's show I'm talking with Mario Colao. Mario's story starts with very self-destructive behavior which ultimately lead him to suffer a near fatal heart attack in the middle of the night alone in his bedroom at the age of 28. What he did after that is truly inspirational. So much so that his story went viral and he was even a guest on “The Doctors” to share his story with a national television audience. Mario's down to earth, funny and very real style of communicating make his journey something that can and has inspired people to change. Mario shares some really motivational ideas and provides an example that anyone can follow to achieve great things. For Full Show Notes Visit  Outside Health and Fitness   Check out this episode!

Treats like candies, chips, burgers and sodas re just some of the favorites you might hear requests for.

But saying no to junk food and eating healthy is more than preserving your appetite. Healthy eating is important for growth, learning and so much more in children.

By Chelsea Sawyer A lot of folks nowadays are making changes to improve their health; some efforts are subtle, and then there are those which are big, drastic changes prompted by the seriousness of looming health risks. But both small and huge efforts can go a long way in strengthening the body and its natural defenses. Drink More Water One of the easiest things that a person can do to improve their health is to drink more water. Water is perfect for detoxification, and although it’s devoid of essential nutrients, it’s an element that effectively supports body functioning. Go without water for a day or two and vital organs (kidneys) can shut down, which then can lead to extreme pain and permanent damages.
