The practice of exercise is proven by science, and by thousands of years of practice by ancient people of this earth, without doubt it works, and many new benefits are discovered all the time.
Eating well is compared to giving yourself medicine, the right kind that can fix a number of ills. Eating right is a priority, and can literally save your life because your immune system depends on it.
The practice of these two things then is a “no-brainer”? You would say yes.
If I had to analyse what makes someone successful with these two things (bear in mind nobody is perfect), then it must be that they practice these two things when enormous doubt and challenges hit them in life, as they are bound to do at times.
Suddenly exercise is not something you cancel for a few weeks (which becomes a few months, and often years), it becomes your SALVATION, for your mental health as well as your body-no compromise and the link is very strong indeed as we all know.
The “practice” is your outlet for stress, your magic cure for the pain in your body and mind, and the medicine for daily flushing out of all the toxins, and toxic thinking too that threatens to invade you, and eventually overcome and BE you.
When stress hits, your immune system takes a big hit, and often food is not something you even think about. If you eat well so often, it is engrained in you, then you practice good eating just to feel better even when life seems like you are in the middle of a hurricane.
When you first start exercising, the practice of exercise and eating right will be a novelty. Then you get to the make or break period when doubt from many sources threatens to derail you and your progress, then once you are beyond those stormy waters, you become an exerciser whose practice is so deep, you rely on it to think better and clearer, you rely on food to heal your body rather than a bucketload of pills, and most of all you turn to exercising and eating right for STRENGTH just when you need it most.
