I’ve touched on it before but I feel so compelled to write about health right now because that’s how I’m feeling healthy! Thank God. When I use the term health I mean it in a sense of overall well being, mind, body and soul. I’ve always incorporated fitness into my active life style, but in no time of in my life have I felt the burning desire to take it to an even greater level. I don’t mean pushing massive weights around the gym like a monkey. But I’m talking about the whole package. Cardio weight workouts mixed with trail runs and swimming, martial arts and cross fit . Steam rooms and saunas and eating habits that are conducive to your whole system. For me it’s not about the physical looks, although that’s an added bonus that comes along with hard fun work. It’s the release of stress that aids in the production of serotonin to then brain which cause neurotransmitters to function on a high level. It also gives you an instant rush of pure adrenalin and happiness when you sweat and feel good about pushing your body.
Diet is so important! I’m a huge sucker for “grease wheels” pizza! And chocolate bars ect..But I balance it all out with eating as healthy as I can and working out harder when I’ve “cheated” so to speak. So much has been said about the effectiveness of yoga for not only flexibility, but losing weight, quieting the mind, heart health and overall well being. I want everyone to feel good and be health conscious because it means a longer healthy happy life that’s more enjoyable. It’s never too late. If you work out at a gym or at home or just find time to walk around the block, your body and mind will be thanking you, and the energy you’ll be creating for yourself is something you can’t put a price on. You got one body, love it, respect it and make use of all the benefits you were naturally blessed with.
STAY COOL- Ryan
