I have been reading this forum for a few years and am very impressed at what I read and the help everyone gives each other. I have posted here and there, but nothing major. But I see some people asking some questions that I believe are self explanatory.
I believe people have lost the ability to put the most important things in life first and foremost. I see people day to day (not on here) talk about their cars, homes, vacations, jobs, etc, but never...I mean never talk about their health, unless its an issue!
Put it this way...house has a bad roof, replace it. Car breaks down, repair it. Yard needs work, do it. But I never hear, that my health is bad so I am going to repair or fix it. Its always "I'm going to the doctor". How about like this forum shows, take care of yourself so you dont have to go to the doctors. Most people never put their bodies first. Our body is more important that any car or house, yard, tv, etc.
Vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements are extremely important. Physical and mental exercise should be like a job. It must be done. Science has proved beyond any doubt that supplements and exercise can lead to healthy longevity, yet less than 5 percent of people actually take it seriously and do both. Less than 10 percent even do it half assed. And, less than 15 percent do one or the other even as recreation of a fad. Yet in those same cohort groups, even the ones who are in the 15 percent have less illnesses and/or doctor visits, the 10 percent group have way less, and those in the 5 percent rarely or never get ill or need to see a medical professional.
The fact is, we really only have one thing in life that is important. Our body. Not our material items, not our jobs, and not even our families and friends. Cause without our bodies, none of that matters.
I am glad there are forums like this that help people in need or with sharing information that help each other. But while all these are wonderful, exercise is hugely important. We need to take that seriously.
Quick story. Due to a injury during my time in the special forces, I was told I would never run again, walk with a cane and be in a wheel chair by 50. That was at 42. Within 5 years I was running 10k, squatting 300 pounds, living my life. And I was diagnosed with left hip injury, nerve damage, 6 vertebrae fractured, discs damaged, 1 inoperable. Never stop living your best life. It is hard, but once you pass that plateau, you will never look back.
