Longevity is the goal if we want a life well lived, as they say. When I speak with people about transforming their health, I never speak in terms of how it will improve their looks or how much weight they would like to lose or how nice they want their abs to be. Instead, I advise them that longevity is the goal, and how that will inform everything they will do in their exercise protocols. This also takes the pressure off. More importantly it takes us out of the world’s perspective of why we exercise and puts us into a healthy perspective. God has given us these bodies and, like the other things that He has given us, He asks us to be their stewards.
A holistic approach to wellness
That is the underlying purpose that empowers us to longevity: to live a full and vibrant life. We want to be able to function well long into our later years. Sure, the by-product of all this hard work is that you will look better. More importantly, though, you will feel better. Not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. You will once again have a sense of self-love as your body heals and your soul prospers.
They’re all one. Nothing is separate.
