WELCOME TO “JOHNNIE “U” HEALTH & WEALTH!
Why Health and Wealth? Our health is our greatest wealth. The two assets are inextricably linked, physically, mentally, spiritually, materially and of course monetarily. Our goal is to foster a keen awareness how we can all conserve and build a rewarding state of Health and Wealth for ourselves!
WHAT WE’LL BLOG ABOUT?
We will take a “holistic” approach to improving our state of health and wealth. I am nearly 70 and blessed with great health. My favorite sports are hockey and longboard surfing and I exercise regularly and pay keen attention to what I consume to maintain fitness for those challenging activities,
Blessings don’t come without a price. When I became a professional pilot I realized I would have to stay healthy to enjoy a long flying career. Back then we drank a lot and even smoked in the cockpit! Like most young pilots, convinced of my immortality, it took a couple more decades for me to reroute my habits to a path toward long term health.
We will start with diet, exercise and weight control. I grew up on a family farm and we worked hard and ate like farmers do. Our diet was deliscious! Bacon, eggs, sausage, home baked bread and rolls slathered with butter, mashed potatoes, and gravy, ham, beef and fried chicken. And we did eat our fruits and vegetables. Thus we rewarded ourselves for our hard labors. My Dad was a giant of a man and worked like a horse until the day he died. Unfortunately, that day came prematurely, just short of his 63rd birthday. His wonderful diet was too full of fats, starches, and desserts laced with sugar. If I ate like that, I would weigh 400 pounds!
Weight loss and control and dietary supplements will be our very first topics for discussion. Our blogs on exercise will range from low impact yoga to pushing the envelope safely in higher stress sports as we age. We will talk of how to conserve our monetary wealth and opportunities to create great income and wealth in a down economy rife with financial and political corruption. Bad times will also find us strengthening our inner spiritual health. Let’s get started ! !
