Busy Bee Health

The Importance of Exercise A lot of busy bees don't really have the time to exercise for two hours every day. Often, you simply can't take the time off or wake up earlier or even justify why you should strain so heavily in the morning or evening when you've already given your all at work. That's understandable. However exercise is a truly important component of a busy bee's health . Without exercise your body will suffer over time. The older you get, the more frequent and persistent this suffering becomes. What used to be a crick in your neck or stiff joints when you got up from your desk will turn into a constant nagging pain, and a few years after that, you'll feel stiff enough you won't be able to move without pain at all. What is exercise? Let's first take a brief look : Is it the daily walking you do from the train station to the place you work at? It could be.

There are five important nutrient categories: protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals. A sixth might be considered as well. This is water (however: water = minerals).

You don't hurt anywhere. You don't forge...

The Importance of Patience, Persistence, and Habits Patience is one of the most relevant (although often dismissed) topics these days in the world. The populations of the world are conditioned through internet and smartphones and computers that start up in less than 10 seconds to expect results immediately. This is ok for everything that's unimportant to minimally important. You can check your e-mail in twenty seconds and quick-sort all the folders on your computer to make more sense.

You will often have to learn how do something important (such as manage your nutrient intake or your weight) and you will sometimes have to wait for not merely a good idea but a brilliant idea. The best things always take the longest time. This is also where persistence comes in. You don't want to quit just when you got started! Let me demonstrate this with an exam...
