Sunday Story…Eat, Sleep, Move

You are a human (I know that’s an assumption, but…). To enjoy life as a human you need to do at least those 3 things. If you want to age well, you need to do those three things well.

 

Eat. Real. Food. Real food doesn’t come with a label and the source is readily available. I still haven’t seen a Dorito tree or an Oreo bush. Eat enough to fuel performance but not so much as to store fat. Eat lots of variety and colors and keep it simple.

 

Sleep. Often. Deeply. This is the easiest place to get the most bang for your buck. Your body and mind need to rest. Sleep is where growth happens. Babies sleep a lot. They also grow a lot. And eat a lot. There might be something to that!

 

Move. Fast. Slow. Often. The point is to move. You were not made to sit on your duff for 8,9, or 10 hours a day. If that was your purpose in being, your body would be constituted much differently, and your metabolism would function much differently. So just move.

 

This isn’t rocket science, boys, and girls. But there also isn’t a magic pill that is going to make everything better. You are going to need to attack this like your life depends upon it.

Because it does.
