 Back in the day, you were active. You ran
around, played tennis, hoops, football, and baseball. You threw back
chicken wings by the bucket load. You asked your boy, “Hey, man, you
got $2 I can borrow? I’m gonna get a chili cheese dog when we stop for
gas.” And gas you had. Who cared if you were actually getting enough
cardiovascular activity, eating enough fiber, or getting regular
physicals to make sure everything’s still working correctly? There was
too much beer to drink and too many cheesesteaks to consume to be
bothered with that stuff! You just lived. And it was good.Today,
you sit at a desk, working on your computer, playing Texas Hold ‘Em and
those Orbitz pop-up games at the office. You’re trying to figure out if
you’ll have time for a quick workout at the gym before you meet up with
your girlfriend at a Mexican restaurant and try to decide if it may
just be better to order the cold taco salad instead of the cheese
enchiladas. At the bar, you’re asking the sexy bartender Roxanne if
she’s got any low-carb beer on tap, and that makes you feel studly.
We
feel you. Toto, we’re not in college anymore and neither are you. To
cruise through this phase of life and get yourself set for what’s to
come (a serious job, a wife, kids, life after “Desperate Housewives”
isn’t renewed), there are three areas you want to focus on now –
fitness, nutrition, and health. Read on to learn how to live long, live
strong, and look forward to the words, “Grandpa, show us your pipes!”

A lot of guys, ourselves included, think that in order to “get healthy”, you have to make a whole bunch of drastic lifestyle changes – quit smoking, stop drinking, work out for two hours daily, eat cottage cheese four times a day, become a vegan. Have you ever known a vegan who’s actually happy? Neither have we (for crying out loud, have a burger!). |

Oh, how we dig Quarter Pounders, and cheesesteaks, fried fish, and Shrimp Scampi. Don’t forget a good plate of spaghetti Bolognese, a nice ribeye, even a quick grilled cheese. And booze, brother, we love our booze. These foods do not love us, or you, back. In fact, they gunk up your engine the same way putting a gallon of Mrs. Butterworth’s in your car’s gas tank would. |
