Health & Fitness
Just over the past few years, I have acquired a deeper interest in my health and lifestyle, as a whole. It isn’t that I wasn’t able to take care of myself sufficiently before, it’s just that I nev-er paid too much attention to what I ate, drank, and how much I exercised. I never knew that cooking could be so satisfying and therapeutic. I absolutely LOVE to cook and I really care about what goes into my food (ingredients and patience). I also love to go running, I love to read, and I love to paint- and I never realized these things until I grew into my 20s. I am only recently beginning to understand more and more about myself, and it’s really exciting!
I stopped smoking cigarettes a few years ago, and I can definitely tell the difference. I want to live a healthy life now so that I can live a long and happy life. I believe in taking phar-maceuticals, when necessary. But I would like to rely on my healthy immune system to keep my body from becoming sick. However, I know that it is sometimes inevitable to stay away from certain pharmaceuticals. Get Healthy and Fit I don’t look down on men who need to take Viagra for a healthy sex life, and I also don’t look down upon people who smoke marijuana to ease pain or stress as long as it is only taken when necessary and not excessively.
Overall, I think our health is all we have. A healthy immune system is everything. The healthier I am, the happier I am. It's like a domino effect. I feel better about myself the more I exercise, and I feel good, in general, the healthier I eat. When I eat a lot of sugar and crappy foods, I feel sluggish and rundown. Since I am forced to sit a majority of my work day, it is im-portant for me to stay active outside of work. I don't always feel like going on a long run when I get home, but once I actually go, I am always glad I did.
