      @@betterworld1 I'm not sure, but in an interview when he was 101, he credits his longevity to a healthy diet.
      When he was 100, he talked about this diet: "At 5-foot-8, he maintains his weight around 150 eating two meals daily, saying three would be excessive for him. For protein, he concentrates upon fish and chicken, having little red meat. He rounds out his diet with soy and grains and lots of produce. "

      @Christina Reynolds Uppn reflection my "amen" was not meant to put a plug in for the flesh worship so prevalent among Christian's these days. Personally, I genuinely despise sports as it is idolatrous. I've seen too many of my own people loose out over sports. Health is something we desperately need however. How well I know that as I was out of the ministry 14 years because my health was so poor, and I have a son who has been unable to do little much of anything over his health since 17 and has been so 21 years. I'll agree we've gone off on the deep end with this health, and wealth, "gain is Godliness" foolishness. Yet I'm sure Jesus still feels compassion for us in our sufferings here just as He always has.
      Finally, as for exercise, personally my preference is walking. You know, it is interesting to me that in scripture God had more to say about WALKING than any other kind of exercise. However, of this WALKING our world has not a clue superior though it is in every way to body, soul, and spirit. You see this is a special kind of walking? Just what kind of walking could this be? Why It's to learn to WALK with God, and any one can do it as this kind of walking is not in the least hindered by any physical disability. In fact my grandfather could do, and did do this kind of walking all the way to age 100 blind,, deaf, and bedfast . And really, when you think about it, doesn't any poor little Saint of the Lord who walks with God even though confined to a wheel chair have far more sane regard for their health than any silly little half nacked fella or gal who goes running down the street dodging cars every Sunday morning?

    • @w96725
      @w96725 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Christina Reynolds We'll Jesus must have been into flesh worship Himself as he gave so much of his ministry to nothing more than healing the sick. St. Paul too must have been totally out of order desiring Timothy prosper and BE IN HEALTH even as his soul prospered. Your too far out in the deep end sister. Even marters would agree. Surely you are just ranting. As for me I see I've wasted enough time. I'm done! I'll let whoever can to take this up with you from here.

"People don't stop running because they get old, people get old because they stop running" I love this. Because I know at age 56 I feel old when I don't do cardiovascular fitness. Feeling old is not a positive up beat feeling. So I recommend this to anyone who wants to feel better in general as a tool to help them get with it .

    I'm only 70 but still able to do 9 min miles, 3miles under 30 min 5 days/wk. Last year I did a 6:51 mile and a month later, 4 miles in 31:51. But I no longer have that kind of stamina or drive. I am happy with 9min miles. Sleep and eating right is major.

    65, and running up and down varied dirt trails is still my main physical fitness jam. Keeps me balanced, gives me muscle strength in my legs (running extreme uphill is easier than moderate), and gets me outdoors in nature. Been doing it for, gulp, a quarter century now.
