Health

Sure, eat right, stay fit, die anyway. Thing is, it's not about longevity extension, but more the quality of the years you have left.
There is no peer-reviewed science that says you can extend your lifespan by eating healthy and exercising. Yet no one argues that a healthy lifestyle will increase the quality of your life.

Quality of life is not some new-age feel-good psychobabble. It is a real measure of feeling better, looking better, and getting the things done that you want to achieve.

My mom once asked me, "Paul. what is the most important machine you own?" I started thinking about my Harleys, or my milling machine, or some of the electronic test equipment I used in my business. She shook her head and explained, "No, your most important machine is your body, and why don't you take care of it the way you do your other machines?"

Good point mom. The food and drink you eat is the fuel for that most-important machine. The exercise you		 Shrimp-queso-BB
do is the maintenance for your body. Some folks get exercise as a part of their natural day. A housewife chasing after the kids and running the home gets a lot more activity than a gal that just sits at a desk all day.

When I went into engineering, nobody warned me there is a serious occupational hazard having a job that allows me to make money sitting in front of a computer. Compound that with sitting around at home most of the time. Then make things even worse by the kind of high-starch and fast food in the standard American diet (SAD).

If you do have a sedentary job, offset that with more activity in your off-time. This section will show ways to make healthy meals, get some exercise, and how to try and make a balanced lifestyle that means you can stay active and happy even in your old age. With some healthy fuel and good maintenance, all kinds of good things happen to your body and your life. Make every attempt to put good food and active lifestyle into your day, and happiness ensues.
