Keeping Your Health...

The revelations about Bill Clinton's health - or lack thereof - highlight the continued importance of taking care of our bodies. The bad news? If you have the deck genetically stacked against you, there is little that any amount of diligence on your part will do to prevent high chloresterol or a tendency towards heart disease. The good news? Consistent exercise and a decent diet puts you miles ahead of that guy/gal next to you on the bus who is chomping on the donut and pounding his/her 3rd coffee of the day.

Now is the time of year, as we head into hibernating season here in New England, to refocus on what we put into our bodies. Remember swimmer Michael Phelps? I bet you do. His physique is one of many that stand out from the recent Olympics - remember that he has made millions of decisions over the course of his life (what to eat and when, when to work out, etc.) to get him to that point.

Keep this in mind as you consider your "off-season" - what decisions do you want to make? How can you improve? What are your goals? Good Luck!
