Fit For Life: The Planet’s in Trouble and So Are We

Saturday, May 03, 2014


I am writing this article not as a personal trainer but thinking as a scientist on Mars, looking down on earth and the people who live there, and studying their behavior before we decide whether we want to inhabit earth or destroy it. This study is being conducted to examine the habits, strengths, and weaknesses of the human population, so we can make an informed decision if this is what we want for our people. We will observe these beings from different parts of the Earth and discuss their lifestyles.

We zero in on the United States and the first thing we notice is that they use these noisy devices to purposely disrupt their circadian cycles, and deprive themselves of necessary sleep. Then they jump up, without stretching muscles that were tightened by lack of blood flow to a body that’s usually in a relaxed supine position. They don't drink enough water, and after several hours they become dehydrated. Even their little hairy pets have enough common sense to stretch and hydrate after a long duration of inactivity. We watch as a large majority of these humans get dressed and put these tight uncomfortable objects on their feet, eat some sort of processed matter, drink this acidic beverage and rush out the door, sleep deprived and malnourished.

Most drive themselves and their children, to a place and congregate with others, inside a sunlit-proof building surrounded by electromagnetic radio waves, purposely putting themselves in an environment that stresses them out and makes them unhappy. They then perform tasks for an eight-hour span of time, only stopping to eat more man-made processed snacks and substances. After they complete their eight hours, some go back home and sit in front of another electronic device, and others go to a place full of weighted machines, also lacking natural sunlight, and perform mundane tasks, such as walking or rowing in place, over and over again for specific periods of time. They’re not going anywhere, and they’re putting their bodies at risk by pushing heavy weights around aimlessly, again and again. How curious.

When that’s all done, they feed their bodies more unbeneficial substances, and some are now drinking, but instead of water, they begin over consuming alcoholic beverages that cause havoc to all the systems in the human body. After another session on another electronic device, these humans will consume some sweet addictive substance then attempt to fall asleep. After hours of failure, some grab on to curious pills to help them sleep, or help them wake up in the morning. They are in this vicious cycle of causing themselves even more harm. This cycle continues on a daily basis, until sickness or death occurs.

In conclusion, based on the observational data collected, we have determined that despite all the knowledge these humans have access to, that due to lack of discipline, addiction, availability of, and amount of harmful food produced, we have decided that this harmful way of life is not appealing enough for us to want to live among them, and rather than waste our ammunition to destroy earth, our data indicates that humans will eventually all just destroy themselves. We will move on.

I wish there were a blockbuster movie made like this. Sadly this is how our life would appear – though considered a normal way of life for a lot of people. Just changing your eating habits and improving exercise efficiency can greatly improve your quality of life, and have you feeling better in as little as two weeks. This doesn't have to be difficult; the information is out there, call a pro or do your own research - you'll be glad you did. With all the emphasis on global warming and pollution and the saving of our planet, are WE – each of us – not due a check-up of our own vessels, our bodies, and a whole new way of living healthy?
