It’s been just over a year now since I finally committed to getting our health in order.
Luckily, I didn’t have too much wrong with me that couldn’t be treated with meds and lifestyle change.
But it was the lifestyle change that ended up being the toughest nut to crack. For nearly 2 decades, I’ve gone from kneeling at our desk inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office to the recliner at beach house in our own air conditioning. That’s just such a sedentary lifestyle. On top of that, I was eating just so poorly as I was soaking up all that quality heating and air each night at home. But the pandemic was a wakeup call for me in a number of ways when it came to our health. For the first time, I knew that I had to improve our health in order to improve our immune response. That’s what finally got me to add a kneeling desk thing inside the zone controlled HVAC at work. And I started getting out of that zone controlled HVAC at supper to go for a walk which was followed by a healthy, small supper. Instead of plopping down in the air conditioning at beach house at the end of the day, I took a long walk or went for a swim. I’ve even now added resistance training to our regimen. But I also improved the indoor air pollen levels of our beach house which was paramount to improving our immune response. Just decreasing to a HEPA filter has improved the air quality in our beach house dramatically.
