1. Your name, title, and age? What do you do (or did you do) for a living?
Jake Beus, 28, Marketing Director at LearnALanguage.com
2. Who was the person that inspired you as a child to eat healthy and stay fit? What was their relationship to you?
My father
3. What did they do to inspire you?
My father was overweight and had serious heartburn problems. He completely changed his diet and began to eat natural foods as much as possible. He also became more active with exercise. He has since lost plenty of weight, looks healthier, is happier and he no longer has heartburn problems.
4. How did their lesson change your life?
I have been fortunate enough to never have weight issues, but I have had heartburn problems. Since I followed the same pattern as my father, I no longer have heartburn problems and I’m healthy and happy.
5. Do you convey their message to kids in your life presently?
Certainly. I encourage active lifestyles for kids so they don’t just sit around playing computer and video games all day. I try to limit the junk food they consume as well.
6. What would be your main message to children today to lead healthy lifestyles?
Eliminate junk food and soda from your diet for 3 weeks, and pay attention to how your body feels. It’s ok to have junk food sometimes, but you’ll learn that your body doesn’t really like it. You will be happier without it, but you can’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
7. Do you have a web site you would like to promote….web address only?
