Good health goes along with good attitudes and habits. Most of us get our habits from home and the friends with whom we associate. I had a buddy who loved to run. For a while, I thought he was being anti-social because, in those days, people didn't do much running.
Now, it's easy to find someone who works out and probably wouldn't mind having company. I have another friend who likes to go snowboarding. Now, that's a little bit more of a narcisistic sport, kind of like, golfing. Regardless, of which sport is more appealing, having one as a favorite passtime sets up the basis of a pretty healthy lifestyle in future years.
I played tennis a lot when I was younger. I tended to over-hit the ball at the beginning because I also lifted weights. It took a while for me to temper my tennis strokes and improve on my shot placements; but, I always tried to get the most out playing the sport. Singles matches were my favorite. They still are. After forty years of playing tennis, I can still put a little sting into my forehand - cross court.
During those same years, I made it a habit of drinking a lot of vitalizing fluids and eating nutritious foods. Today, it's a little more difficult to find the foods that can adequately nutrify our bodies. That's why it's a good idea to include high-quality supplements in our diets. There are some important things that go into selecting the right nutritional products on the market. For example, not all energy drinks and snacks are created equal.
Keep an eye on our blogs for an interesting and enlightening discussion on keeping our bodies fit.

Getting To The Bottoms
It has been interesting [for me] to watch the changes in human behavior over the past sixty-plus years, particularly where health and nutrition is concerned. I prefer the word “interesting” to "inspiring" or "depressing". Today, our society is swarmed by a convergence of messages about good health and acceptable appearance.
In spite of the myriad glitzy marketing campaigns on fitness and longevity, I can still see the image of my eighth grade health teacher, pacing back and forth in front of the class, espousing on the virtues of exercise and a balance of protein, carbohydrates, minerals and fiber. Ah yes, even in the pre-historic days of civilization, there was a nutritional substance referred to as fiber.
When I think about all the information and programmed health services in abundance today, a single idea always seems to rise above the rest, from my perspective. Education.
What Mr. Martinson taught me about my heart, respiratory, circulatory and digestive system is still true – sixty years later! Incredible!
So, my view today takes into consideration that people have changed, dramatically in recent years. Either we were out the day they discussed basic nutrition and health in the classroom, or we have forgotten what we had to memorize to get a passing grade, or…our synapses are under siege, controlled by mass psychology.
None of the above is to say that high doses of manufactured nutritional supplements are not good for us. As a matter of fact, this blog is in total support of the solutions to the lack of proper nutrition and fitness that are available today. We intend to pick up where Mr. Martinson left off and examine ways in which we can maintain our pulmonary, respiratory, circulatory and digestive systems in the 21st Century.
Readers of our blog deserve to be introduced to an idea that is likely to shock some of the bad cholesterol right out of their systems. Before we get to the revelation of the millennium, here's a question you might want to "toy" with (at the risk of giving my "shocker" away but, so what):
Do you think the average human posterior is larger or smaller today, as compared to thirty years ago?
I think this is a good time to break and let the question germinate for a few hours. We’ll be back with more information about our physical state and what we can do about it. Our next post will cover such titillating themes as, lethargy, fatigue, complacency, energy loss.
Bonus question:
Why do you suppose the vibrating chair was invented? Does anyone know, exactly?
