If you think about it, pretty much every decision we make throughout our day, we sacrifice one thing for another. It might be sacrificing time with family and friends to spend time on social media. Or it might be sacrificing our health to sit on the couch and eat processed/junk food. If we sacrifice just a little bit of time each day to do something to benefit our health, it will help us in the long run. If we don't take time to care for our body, we will sacrifice our health, and even possibly our life, later down the road. What decision will YOU make?
