Are you asking the wrong question?

Questions asked determine answers given. My father-in-law was at a gas station in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and asked the attendant “Where can I get pasties (a tasty meal consisting of beef, potatoes, carrots, rutabaga, onions in a pastry-like pod)? The attendant told him of a place near by. My father-in-law thought for a second and then rephrased his question. “Where do you get your pasties?” The attendant responded with a place slightly farther away that made the best tasting pasties in the area.

Similarly, when it comes to our health we need to be asking the right questions. When deciding what to consume most people ask: “Is this bad for me?” Most people would say diet pop has zero effect therefore they can enjoy a sweet tasting treat without incurring a negative effect to the body. That mindset leads many people to reduced wellness and wasted dollars.

The right question to ask would be: “Is this good for me?” Asking this question takes you down the thought process of; can my body use the components of this food or beverage to better itself? For example the phosphoric acid in diet pop binds with magnesium and calcium in the digestive tract to form salts that aren’t absorbed. This robs the body of the building blocks of magnesium and calcium that it needs to build strong healthy bones. Did I hear someone say hip replacement?

In regard to fitness if you ask “Is watching 2 hours of TV a night bad for me?” You’d probably answer, “No”. If you ask “Is watching 2 hours of TV a night good for me?” you’d probably also answer, “No”.
