7 Inspiring Stories That Make You Become Healthier

 

Tom Smith

He decided to get healthier to feel more alert. “Seventeen years ago, I went to Canyon Ranch weighing 220 lbs and having chronic sinus infections,” Smith said. “After being told I was allergic to wheat, milk, and sugar and that my BMI was 34 percent and that I needed to change what I ate and begin working out, I did.”

Tom knew that it was time to change his lifestyle, so he went to the gym for 365 days straight doing bodyweight exercises, interval training and yoga. “Changing my diet was also a challenge — no wheat, milk, or refined sugar. However, no sinus infections made it worth it. Today I eat Chipotle burrito bowls six days a week — I’ll have bowl number 3,091 today at lunch.”
