Anti-Clock

Took a 10 mile walk yesterday-just a loop near Warren-and thought that I had only done about 8 miles judging by my feet, which shows that one's physical conditioning stays intact if one exercises regularly. Because I am something of a minimalist, and tend to trust myself, I do not walk with a stick or heart monitor and other such gadgets. Nor do I carry water when walking casually, for I have found that drinking fluids beforehand is sufficient to sustain me for several hours. Two quarts will hydrate me for about ten miles even when carrying a backpack.... So what's the larger point? ....That people worry too much about technology and medical advice sometimes rather than simply getting off the couch and discovering what works for Them. With obesity approaching epidemic proportions, as well as asthma and diabetes on the rise, it is encumbent upon all of us to take responsibility for our own health and not expect others to pay the tab for our personal neglect. Simply walking a few miles a day will decrease your chance of aquiring type 2 diabetes by 50-60%!!! It'll help with weight loss and improve your mental state as well. How simple is that??!! Walk! ..and stop expecting other people to pay for health care costs and medicines that You could have prevented. If you don't like to walk, then bicycle, or swim, or golf without a cart, or shoot basketball... Do what you enjoy! But push yourself away from the computer and video game and Move!... and that's my sermon for today LOL...It really is sad to see so many Americans bringing so many ills upon themselves
