Another phrase we hear in a regular basis at RISE is “don’t overdo it”.
We hear this on a regular basis where “it” is used to do numerous different things.
For example, I was on a ‘Stag Do’ in Berlin recently.
On one of the stag’s old school friends mentioned in conversation to me about his drinking that he probably drank more than the advised amount, but that he doesn’t “over do it”.
Now he is lovely guy, but looking him, something was definitely being overdone.

Only the other week, one of our member said that her doctor advise her not to “over do it” on the exercise.
People often talk to friends and family members about the nutrition we recommend and the advice “don’t overdo it”.
They rarely specify exactly what “it” is and even more rarely does the person offering this advice actually specify how much “it” will be overdoing it.
When our member asked the doctor how much exercise she should do, the doctor’s repeated, “don’t overdo it”.
When she pushed again, the doctor was unable to give a definition of how much too much would be.

Now, we’re not mental – we don’t want people doing things that are clearly out of their capability and may damage them.
But the human body adapts pretty quickly.
Especially to stuff that is good for it – like exercise and healthy eating.
With exercise, take a session or two at a moderate intensity but you can soon push it up to something more challenging.
With food – I’ve never really understood how you can ‘over do’ the healthy food.
Infact, in most cases, the danger lies more in someone ‘under-doing it’.
Not enough exercise and healthy eating is far more common in our experience then the opposite.
And nearly always worse for the person.
