Fit Bod of the Month
(from Sal's "Fit Bod of the Month" Newsletter)
In response to the endless excuses on why people are de-conditioned and overweight, I devote the last newsletter of each month to an image of a fit role model. Entitled “Fit Bod of the Month,” I post the photograph of one fit and healthy person … my definition of a “REAL” person (not to be confused with Dove’s interpretation of the word). Be ready to abandon those excuses!

My May 5th, 2009 newsletter includes an article entitled “Where Have the Women Gone? In it, I comment on how women have become so much more sedentary than their female predecessors and their male counterparts. At all playing fields, courts and parks, there is a huge disparity between the numbers of men versus the numbers of women playing sports and exercising vigorously. The declining number of active females has been occurring concurrently with rising rates of female obesity and over-fatness.

Just so you know, I had no intention of being the model for this issue - or any issue. However, I was, in essence, thrown into it. My original model cancelled for a Friday photo shoot; the back-up model decided, on Sunday, that she wasn't "prepared" to be photographed. And, thus, there was only one model left at that time, the 11th hour ... the one who was holding the camera, the one's who's writing this newsletter - moi!

Welcome to the 3rd edition of Fit Bod of the Month. Spring has now sprung. Trees are beginning to bloom, the climate is warming up ... and some people are beginning to panic. This is the time of year to begin shedding your outer clothing, exposing more of your figures and physiques. While some of you may be happy to do so, many others are frightened, overly conscious about showing the results of months of inactivity and poor eating habits

Welcome to the 2nd "Fit Bod" edition of Sal Fichera's Health Newsletter. Just to be clear, once again, this monthly edition is not so much about aesthetics - and it's certainly not about subjectivity. It IS about the objectivity of human design, based on scientific evidence. The models selected for my newsletters (and book) are not chosen for what I perceive - or hope you find - to be physical beauty, but rather because each and every model fulfills the criteria found to be essential for living a healthy, long life. There is, after all, a direct link between physical appearance and physical health.

One of the many factors contributing to the overweight / obesity epidemic is the lack of awareness of what healthy and fit bodies actually look like. Particularly in societies where majority of the population is overweight (as with the US), perceptions of what a truly fit body is has become obscured. It’s time for America to regain its perspective.
