Health, Longevity And Success.
Today, I’m adding to our last conversation on health and long life.
The 3 major components of great health are 1.Nutrition and diet, 2. Exercise and 3. A positive mental attitude.
I’m not talking about long life for the sake of it, but living a long life to do all the things you want to do.
To spend all the time you want with your loved ones, to travel to all the places you want, and to contribute and develop projects near and dear to you.
If you want all these, you’d better be healthy or you won’t be able to do a fraction of what you want to do if you are beset with ill-health.
Have you heard the one about the dentist who says “You don’t have to floss all your teeth – just the ones you want to keep.” Which teeth do you want to keep? What parts of your body to you want to be healthy?
Being healthy becomes the most important thing in your life if you don’t have it. It stops you in your tracks and could completely derail you if severe enough. Why wait till that happens?
There are some things you can’t prevent, but you will deal with them as they come up, but there are also a lot of things you can work on to live an optimal healthy life.
Yes, there are always the 90 yr old smoker someone points at, who is alive and well; and there is also the woman who never smoked dying young.
But what are the odds of that happening?
Why not stack the odds in your favour?
It actually is not difficult – you do the things that keep you healthy till they become habits and a part of your normal life.
After I have a great exercise session, I feel like I can take on the world – great feeling!
I’ve got loads of things I do and want to continue doing.
Think of your health and body like a precious instrument or car.
If you don’t maintain your car or tune your piano, it soon falls apart and does not function the way it should to get the results you want.
“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.”
~ Herophilus
