Curiosity may have killed the cat but it is a lack of curiosity that kills a human. Well, perhaps that is a little extreme, but you get the idea. It is important for us to remain curious so that we can be open to the changes we need to make in order to keep ourselves in shape.
So often we make health choices based on old information. What we were taught at school, what our doctor was taught at school, what our parents did, what our neighbours parents did, well you get the idea. If we don't challenge the status quo, if we don't do different things, then how can we expect to get different results? And we certainly need to get different results. You only need to look around you to see that as a society we are sicker than ever and not due to germs, not due to genes, not even due to bad luck - but due to our lifestyles. So now is the time to get curious, to start asking those tricky questions. Start challenging what you do on a day-to-day basis and whether it is contributing to your health or detracting from it.
What if all this stuff I have been doing is wrong? What if the food pyramid isn't accurate? What if half an hour of walking five days a week isn't really all my body requires? What if the way I perceive the world isn't how it really is? Ask yourself these and the million other little questions that will start to spring into your head when you start to take a curious approach to life, and you will get some interesting answers.
In life it is easy to be stagnant, to settle, to get in a rut. The only way to get out of it is to start asking great questions. The answers may just save your life (or at least your health)!
