Keeping it working

Chapter 349

Long-term productivity requires that you keep your body in good working order. - Lolly Daskal 

This is surprisingly hard to do. I spent quite a bit of time yesterday talking with my 30 year old, who is facing knee surgery. At 30! That knee needs to take him a great deal farther in life than it has so far. I know a 20-something year old couple here in MooCow GA that are both in the hospital, the hubby for over 50 days now, and neither have Covid-19, at least not yet. And then there is Coronavirus, a huge scary virus that is highly contagious and seems to have almost mythical destructive powers.

Some of these things are genetic and none of the people listed above have control over what is happening in these specific situations. The shear number of things that can go wrong with your health is daunting. The number of external bugs you can catch is frightening. The number of falls I have is disturbing, and they all really hurt! There are way too many factors trying to work against you in your quest to keep your body in good working order. It can be overwhelming.

However you have control over the two most critical and high impact areas to your health and keeping your body in good working order so that you can do something important and productive every day - what you eat and how much you move. You may not be able to control many other factors that come your way, but these two are totally in your power. 

Now use that power to your benefit instead of harm.
