According to Ayurveda there are 3 major body types (Doshas) and some mixes of it. For each body type there is good/healthy for him/her nutrition type, physical activity levels, mental practices, etc. Keeping some “good for everyone” approach can harm some people, while benefit others. Unfortunately, it’s a common practice to see books, fitness programs, etc. done without taking these important things into account. And Ayurveda guys really gathered some nice info. BTW, here is a link to quickly find out your predominant body type (individual Doshas mix): http://www.indiaoz.com.au/health/ayu...bodytype.shtml |

I recently read that "fitness and health are two different things", i.e., fitness is related to muscle tone and strength, while health is related to the internal organs and "life-energy" issues. I mix up the concepts of fitness and health sometimes - I assume that fit people are healthy, and that healthy people are fit, although I know this is not always the case (think of very 'fit' young athletes who die unexpectedly of heart problems, or of feeble, 'unfit' old ladies who outlive their own kids and grandkids). So do efforts to maintain our fitness also benefit our health, or just make us look and feel better without really improving our underlying health? Are there 'health exercises' which are separate from general fitness training (endurance/strength/flexibility) - maybe something along the lines of the 15 basic exercises performed as Chi kung/Nei kung exercises?

[/quote] So do efforts to maintain our fitness also benefit our health, or just make us look and feel better without really improving our underlying health?[/quote] I guess it again can be everything here - it can bring some benefit to our health, it can do nothing, it can do harm. All depends on who does something, what he does, to what extent, etc. But overall, for most people, considering current lifestyle I guess that our fitness and exercises we do typically bring benefit to our health.

IMO health benefits should be ancillary to one's life pursuits and not a goal in itself unless one is sick or sickly and then only for a restorative purpose. My list of all the ways that I might wish to be remembered when I die which can be inscribed on my tombstone does not include "died in the pursuit of health" or "died healthy".

Everybody's different. Fitness wise, before I got sick, I was doing some plyometrics and a little bit of other stuff, but my main focus was doing heavy spinning.
After the intensive, my plan is to work on the wrapping exercises with tension as much as is healthy, and go on a lot of walks with my wife. (and heavy spinning) In terms of diet... I feel best on a diet of medium-large sized meals, two a day, with no snacking. For social reasons i can't really stick to this diet, but I find if my last meal of the day is relatively early (say 6ish) and my first meal of the day is relatively late (Noonish) I feel good. But I know this kind of thing isn't for everyone, and I kind of have to get myself up for it... |
