Defining Health

Have you ever sat down and thought about what your definition of health looks like?   For me, I don’t really care how long I live on this earth if all I am doing is getting through my days. Being alive and actually living are two very different things in my opinion. I don’t want to simply just be alive. I want to be able to continue to live and experience life fully, and that requires more than just good labs or a BMI that falls in the healthy range. I want to be kicking butt at 80 years old.  If that's what I want to do, I can move in the right direction by thinking about what the life of an 80 year old that is kicking butt looks like.  Then, I can begin aligning my daily actions and habits with those that I believe will move me in that direction. Instead of getting bogged down by numbers, what if we painted a picture of what we believe health looks like?  Today, I am walking through a few of the habits that make up my definition of health. Enjoy!
