Sunday Story…You and

Your Health.

You notice that this title starts with You. Your health is up to you. You can’t take it for granted. You can’t just go along fat dumb and happy and expect to enjoy stellar movement, strength, and fitness without taking things into your own hands.

Your doctor is great when you are sick, have a broken part or need to be put back together. But your doctor has neither the time nor energy to assist your pursuit of optimum health. In general, they are too busy and too overwhelmed with sick people to help healthy people. So in a world full of conflicting opinions, differing metric markers and internet charlatans what do you do?

First, eat real food. Eat quantities that fuel your performance, not your fat storage. Avoid chemical sh** storms, artificial whatsis, and added sugars. Eat lots of protein and green stuff.

Second, move it or lose it. If you don’t move you will lose the ability to move. Anything will work but some things work better than others. Pick up heavy stuff and move it…your bones will thank you. More really fast sometimes, rest a bit and repeat, again and again.

Third, be your own best arbiter of health. No one number can determine if you are skinny or fat. You decide if you like the way your clothes fit. You decide if the person looking back at you in the mirror is everything you want them to be. You and only you get to make that call.
