Acceptance + Fitness + Diet = Health

Health is a battle that a lot of us are losing to over-cooked-fast-microwave-foods that lack vitamins, anti-oxidents, carotenes, minerals, phytonutrients, essential fatty acids and fibre! Yet, do not lack trans fats, additives, carbs, sugar, salt and the genetically modified! Smoking and alcohol damage also, too undermine a nutritional diet.

So, once being good at maths, at working out Vectors, Stress, Strain, Fluid Flow n stuff, later still company accounts.... I have, in fact only just now, created the simple formula for Health that is my Title for this Posting.

Soon, I will go into great detail on DIET to cover nutrition, glycemic index, glycemic load, high nutrition to calorie value foods, high protein to calorie ratio foods etc. etc. Then create an eight-meal-a-day-diet to both slim and shape me into an athlete once again.... I hope like my friend Horse who in his mid 70's can run faster and longer than most 20 year olds! At the regionals in 2006, I saw a 45kg lady power-lifter in her 70's with a beehive hair style lift 100+ kilograms to beat young ladies some 50 years younger! A few years ago, Gloucester could have boasted about an 86 year old lady table tennis World Champion! Strong men: pound-for-pound Larry my coach at 53, plus HalfHour the retired officer and gentleman Master of my club, have both enjoyed a life time of being amongst the Strongest-Men-in-the-World.

I also plan to describe in detail and involve you in the suffering, then I hope the benefits of getting super fit! But today, its me being personal with philosophy!

Acceptance is the easy-going yet hard won philosophy, but it is better than hindsight, anger, debate, sorrow, drink, altered consciousness, terrifying sadness, panic attacks or living-in-the-past!

As in, acceptance of your prospects, condition, situation or current circumstances, however difficult and then getting on with it. Accepting that your lovely wife has banned sex and any extra marital stuff, will end family life as we know it. Or, that the World's Governments, regulators and corrupt greedy city slickers have halved your savings values. Or, the terrible heart-felt-loss of love or a loved one that will change you and your life beyond all previously assumed boundaries.

That sort, the impossible 'acceptance' that we all must at some time have to find deep inside us and wrestle long with!
