A week before the start of the race season, a good friend of mine took me down to the track to visit the owner of a prized racehorse.
The owner told me how he had made a science of the exact nutritional value in every bite that horse ate?what was perfect for its digestion, energy, and dental care. He explained how he had only the best licensed veterinarian check the horse thoroughly each week, how he exercised the horse twice daily, how he made sure the horse had the appropriate social interaction with other horses to keep his spirit up.
He emphasized how the horse?s comfort, needs, and health were in need of constant attention to ensure it was happy and able to perform at its best.
I was impressed with this man?s nutritional acumen, attentiveness, and discipline ? until the trainer walked in with his lunch.
McDonald?s hamburgers, fries, and a giant soda.
I had already noticed that the owner probably didn?t exercise. After seeing the meal, I understood that poor eating habits had contributed to his weight. So I asked him when he had last visited the doctor for a checkup. His answer? He hadn?t been in years.
He had his horse checked every week, but he had not seen a doctor for years.
Do you get my point here? Here was a guy with a billion-dollar body?one priceless to his family and friends?yet he cared more for his horse?s health than his own. Insane.
Sadly, he is not alone. I know people who feed their dogs more carefully than they do their own kids. Can you imagine that?!
These examples can be contributed to one thing: a poor health and fitness philosophy.
I don?t want you to fall into this same trap. I want you to revitalize your commitment to being fit and healthy. You don?t want to be the guy or gal with the highest rank or title, with the most cars, with the biggest house ? in the graveyard.
So if you do not have a health and fitness philosophy?one that includes healthy eating habits, exercise, and social interaction?create one today.
Here is a sad truth: Most people spend their youth trying to make a lot of money at the sacrifice of their health. Then they spend all their money buy their youth and health back.
Just doesn?t seem smart, does it?
Remember this always: Your health IS your wealth.
It?s as simple as that.
Treat yourself as a prized racehorse (at least)!
