Does Health Really Matter If You're Fit?
Introduction
Are you as healthy as you think you are? Surprisingly, many of us are not sure. We often get so focused on building the perfect body that we overlook our overall health. In our pursuit of fitness goals like a six-pack or fat loss, we might forget about our well-being.
Fitness vs. Health
There's a common belief that health naturally follows a fit lifestyle, but that's not always the case. I once thought the same until I had a wake-up call. Years ago, I used anabolic steroids, thinking they would help me achieve my fitness goals. While I appeared healthy on the outside, I was causing significant harm internally. This experience taught me a critical lesson: You can either move toward health or toward illness.
The Reality Check
Many wait until a severe health scare strikes?"like a heart attack or cancer?"before focusing on their health. Most people live in a state where they "think" they're healthy but are not. Health, unlike physical fitness, is hard to measure. You won't feel healthier after taking a multivitamin unlike the immediate results from fitness supplements.
My Turning Point
About four years ago, I had an epiphany after attending a seminar in Denver, where Dr. Michael F. Roizen spoke about "Real Age." He explained how lifestyle factors influence our biological age, which can differ significantly from our chronological age. Dr. Roizen's research involves over 100 health-related factors. His goal is to identify how healthy you truly are and offer advice on improving it.
Discovering Real Age
The process involved filling out a comprehensive questionnaire that could take up to 45 minutes. However, it’s a worthwhile investment, especially if you’ve taken your health for granted. The results can be surprising, as they were for me. My first Real Age test revealed that biologically, I was a 48-year-old, though I was only 34 at the time. Instead of letting this disappointment defeat me, I used it as motivation to make lifestyle changes.
Making Positive Changes
The changes were simple yet impactful. For instance, I started wearing a bike helmet and taking CO-Q10 supplements for heart health. These little, consistent adjustments significantly reduced my Real Age. I'm now biologically younger than my chronological age?"30, to be precise.
Conclusion
Does your dedication to fitness reflect your overall health? It might not. Besides regular check-ups, it's crucial to measure your health comprehensively. Understanding the balance between fitness and health is key to living a strong, fulfilling life. Don't wait for a health scare to prompt change?"start making better choices today and see the difference it makes.
Prioritize both your fitness and your health for a balanced, vibrant life.
