It Has Nothing To Do With Age provides self-help principles. The inspirational stories give concrete illustrations of overcoming many of life's challenges. Difficulties pertaining to depression, grief, divorce, and death are presented and worked through by the participants. Physical impairments, injuries, overcoming issues with weight, alcohol, and nicotine are also dealt with and resolved by the athletes.

This book provides a model on how to overcome some of the difficulties that confront all of us . Further, this read sheds a beacon of light on preventive measures for good physical and mental health. Research demonstrates that exercise is an important component in treating such ailments and debilitating illness such as depression, stroke, heart disease, brain or cognitive malfunction,and Alzheimer's disease.

I suggest that proper exercise can be used as a preventive measure for psychological, cognitive, and physical health as well. Follow my prescription and lead a better, more fulfilling, and healthier life.

Ways To Keep Fit and Healthy

Last week while in Kansas City for the autograph and book signings, I met Dave Lindstrom a former Kansas City Chief defensive end who was a teammate of Ed Budde’s son Brad. In fact Dave and Brad were roommates. Dave seemed to be about 7 feet tall of a man. He was very friendly and personable and gave me lots of complements about my running feats.

I found out that Dave and his friend Dr. Cook were walking different segments and parts of the famous Lewis and Clark Trail and in fact have a website that has continuing pictures and descriptions of their adventures during their walk. In fact, they can be followed at www.walkingwithLandC.com.

Dave’s project sounds like its fun and has a purpose related to health and fitness. As you can see there are many ways to enjoy life and get healthy along the way. By the way I mentioned to Dave the importance of such components as good shoes, hydration, nutrition, sun block and proper clothing. Good luck to him and his partner .Let me know of your creative way or ways that you employ to keep healthy and fit and I’ll be more than happy to write about them and remember per Ed Budde “keep moving.”
