These are just sore muscles from working out. No need for all that. Just saying they don't recover as quickly as they used too...
IMHO, exercise has its place, just like money has its place. While there are some sports I enjoy watching/participating in, there are others I detest. This may make a few people bristle, but I don't like violent sports. Things that promote needless pain or injury. Also, things that are too competitive promote attitudes of divisiveness and rivalry, instead of teamwork, fair play and sportsmanship. I don't mind team games, like volleyball or badminton, bowling, or individual or group jogging or distance walking, hiking, or biking, or for toning or strength training, weight-lifting. Exercise releases the enzymes and hormones that promote positive emotions. However, as a rule, my diet doesn't include artificial means for promoting muscle mass gain. My preference is to not look like a Mack truck, only tone and strengthen so muscle stays strong and flexible.
TBH, regards diet and exercise, I'm sure there are many of us who could stand to lose a few pounds, so, like others, I place a healthy lunch as a priority and try to enjoy a Chicken Garden Salad for my noon meal.
My doctor would say that a healthy diet and exercise promotes longevity, and as a result, I've already expressed my gratitude to my doctor for providing healthy solutions to my weight concerns.
hmmm, still don't know what that means, but so far, things are still working well enough that I'm not on one of those high fiber diets.
It meant "hair (hare) loss." (Pate is an old English word for "head." You recall the old children's nursery rhyme song, "This Old Man"?) No worries.
A wise man feeds and nourishes his own body so he cares for it, just like he provides for his family and responsibilities.
FTR, I personally do not wish to be rich, famous, or extraordinarily good-looking. While some may think these are desirable qualities, all of these qualities eventually fail with the passage of time. What is more important is what is in your heart and what you feel, think, say, and do in life. We are all accountable for our actions, so it is wise to learn and apply what we are taught from an early age onwards.
A place to begin is with the family and be thankful for what provisions you had as a child. If perhaps you had a troubled childhood, or were poor, you likely still experienced love among your family. Not all of what examples we view nowadays are good examples, so it is vitally important to be thankful for what we have, not what we want or think we "must-have."
Please accept these words as my feelings for the time. May you enjoy the blessings from enjoying the love of your family time together, enjoying healthy meals and loving your wives and children as adult men should. You care about yourselves, do you not? So it should also be with your loved ones. Keep them safe and happy, and teach them what you know.
