Have you been watching the Olympics?
The things these athletes are capable of doing with their bodies is absolutely insane.
When you are watching them do you think about what’s going on inside their bodies or just what you see on the outside?
Think about how all their systems, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, endocrine, etc… all work together to create what we see.
It’s amazing to see what the human body can accomplish.
It’s also amazing to see how the human body can be treated so poorly with bad nutrition, no exercise, smoking, drinking, not sleeping etc… and still manages to keep going.
I guess that’s an accomplishment of it’s own, surviving while abusing your body.
Do you realize how much easier life is because you train and eat well?
Probably not, unless you’ve went from being sedentary to an active and nutritious lifestyle.
It’s hard to fathom but I’m sure if most people fell on the concrete they wouldn’t be able to get back up.
We used to see this in mostly the older population, but now it’s crept into all ages.
People are so out of shape and I don’t mean only weight wise.
Maybe everyone thinks they are just as strong and in shape as they were when they were younger?
This is what happens when everything is easy like I wrote about yesterday.
Every year we get weaker and weaker, in worse shape than the year prior and nothing is done about it.
Why? Because we don’t need to, life is too easy now.
I wonder what percentage of Dr’s gives their patients the right advice, or just puts them on medication.
I would venture to say a high number of Dr’s use medication instead of advising their patients to train and eat well.
I’t a shame, it really is.
Imagine every Dr. advised correctly? Would people even listen?
Maybe, if the system was set up to take the best care of their patients as possible and not how much money they can make things would be different.
Is it because very few people will listen and take care of themselves so why bother?
Either way, if people were told by their Dr’s at a young age that they need to eat well and exercise that would make a huge impact.
