Welcome to my website! My Quest
Why am I producing this site??
I am fast approaching the stage in life when my body is not as fit as it once was. Things are starting to get harder to do and it is becoming more painful to do them. I have to stop and think about things that a few years ago I would have instantly dismissed. Things like warming up, stretching, warming down, eating the right foods, etc. Simply put, I now have to think, rather than just do!
Being pretty active, I still play a lot of squash, golf, skiing, motorbiking, sailing, cycling, circuit training, etc., etc. They all come with their issues! I am interested in why and how, as I get older, my body becomes susceptible to changing physical conditions. There are many forms of change, however, the ones I want to concentrate on are, rheumatism, arthritis, diabetes, etc. I want to understand them more and any methods required to help combat them.
My need to keep myself fit…mentally and physically
I have seen too many people with chronic health conditions, I really don’t want to be in their position. I will do anything I can, within reason, to make sure I stay fit and healthy. I would prefer to do this without the need for any pills or medicines. I have a strong belief that both our mental and physical health are interlinked, I would like to explore this further…
My wish is to start looking, in-depth, at how all of this affects me (and others) and how potentially it can be dealt with successfully. I suppose it’s the start of my journey, to try to lengthen the time spent enjoying my life on this planet, with all my sporting (and other) passions.
I hope that we both get something out of this (time will tell) and if you want to, please share your thoughts!
