"...after 20 years, the knees of distance runners were actually healthier than those of control group."-Stanford Medical School researcher finding
In another study, by the American College of Sports Medicine, it was found that "physical activity [including running] is beneficial, rather than detrimental, to joint health."
It is my conclusion that the human body is amazing. We can abuse it BUT as long as we abuse moderately it will spring back and become stronger. I guess the key is moderation and not extreme abuse.
I find that as long as I run a few times a week I can abuse my body by eating a little more than I need and still not gain any weight. If I control what I eat and still run, then my body responds with a modest weight loss.
If I drink more than one beer, I note that next day I do not feel as well as I usually do. So for me the key is to stop at one beer.
Today's question is:
"How do you stop yourself from abusing yourself?"
