I received this from Medical at the job:
Everyday, we all make many decisions?some big, some small. Most of our day-to-day decisions, such as deciding what to eat for lunch, may not seem very significant. However, when added all together, they can have a big impact.
For example, deciding to have a burger and fries at lunch may seem like a small treat, but what if you also decided to have bacon and eggs for breakfast and meet friends for a soft drink and pizza at dinner? At the end of the day, these small, seemingly insignificant decisions would have added up to about 3,000 calories?up to 1,000 more calories than the average adult male needs each day. And if you continued this trend over the course of a year, you?d add over 182,500 extra calories, or 52 pounds!
So you can see that even these small, everyday decisions can have a big impact on your health. Even people who look and feel perfectly healthy could be at risk for developing serious conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes based on the decisions they make, as well as other health risk factors.
