Albert Einstein was on to something! He helped develop an experiment called the EPR paradox, which explained the Copenhagen interpretation.*
It’s a physics experiment that deals with a crazy thing called “quantum entanglement.”
Without turning my health blog into a science class let me explain what quantum entanglement means. Basically it’s when you look at and actually measure something, it changes its very nature and outcome. So the very act of attempting to measure matter or even observe it actually changes the matter. Einstein called this the “spooky action at a distance.”
So on a quantum level it’s a proven fact that when you look at or measure something you physically change the possible outcome. And that’s what I want to talk about today.
Personal Metrics – the measurement of things directly related to your life.
With weight loss and measuring, there are usually just two types of measurements that the average person looks at. The first is the use of a scale to measure our weight. Secondly if we want more information we might use a tape measure to gauge the amount of inches we are round. Most people never go any further than that when it comes to metrics.
I want to encourage you to begin examining the idea of adding some new types of metrics into your daily life. Let me explain why it’s important for weight loss and your overall health
Below is a graph that I developed to help illustrate my point. This graph represents the health and fitness levels of the average American population in 1930.
Notice that in those days the mortality of the unborn and children was very high. But when you look at the overall health and fitness of the people of that time it was quite remarkable. I believe this was possibly attributed to the agrarian lifestyle featuring more sleep and physical activity and a diet of less salt, sugar and more fresh non-processed foods.
