Fitness and Nutrition — By Ben on 30 January 2008

Nobody with the right mind likes to feel sick or miserable. Health is the most precious possession any living being could have. However, it seems like in our hectic lifestyles taking care of our health is one of the last things we worry about and we don’t realize how important it is until it is gone.

I don’t consider myself unhealthy. I feel good, I exercise (not as much as I’d like, though), my last checkup went well and I am only a couple of pounds over my ideal weight (those stubborn couple of pounds that won’t go away) so, why am I worrying about being healthy?

I am not worrying. I just want to keep and improve my health. I am turning 30 this year and I can’t stop thinking about what my parents used say when they turned 30. They jokingly use to say that it was the beginning of the never before age: never before I felt this tired, never before I felt these pains and aches, never before I felt this old. So all I want to do is prevent, as much as I can, those inconveniences of my (NEW) seasoned age.

I am not a nutritionist or personal trainer, but I wanted to create this section to share my findings in the areas of health and fitness. I decided to include it on this blog because food plays a very important part in our health. However, my goal is not to tell you what you must and mustn’t do to become the next Mr. or Mss. Universe (I certainly don’t want to be one myself) I only want write about what works for me in making me feel good and healthy along with the information sources. To feel good with oneself is at the end everybody’s goal, I suppose. I see this new section as the log of a journey to a healthier life. You are invited to accompany me in this journey. I am sure we can learn a lot from each other.

  1. So true, Ben. It gets more difficult as you age, too. My good friend and I were in a routine for about a year and a half and then our lives changed and neither of us are doing anything. We’re supposed to pick it up this next week, but my confidence isn’t there. She works about 70 hours a week, and getting up at 4:30 to walk a few miles is a bit tough. I suppose I could go bang on her door, right?
