It’s been said that if you have your health, you have everything. But you know what? If you obsess about one part of your health to the point that it makes the rest of your life go crazy, I’d say that you missed the mark. After all, health has so many pieces to the whole that it’s a very complex puzzle. But even though it’s complex, you can manage it with balance, moderation, and some know-how.
Health is more than fitness or diet. It’s how you live your life.
Health is all about balance and learning how to deal with whatever your new normal is. For some of us, that new normal means dealing with a body that’s changed profoundly since having children. For others, it means dealing with a chronic, invisible illness. No matter what your normal is, though, you can strive to have and enjoy your health.
So, let’s go over some of the most powerful, popular, and most-shared health articles by topic.

Health is a huge topic. I’ve studied it for years, taught it for years, and tried keeping it for even longer. It’s a delicate balance – one that requires constant readjustments to account for an incomprehensible number of factors. Enjoy your health. Try to live sensibly, eat well, and don’t make too many reckless choices. That way, you’ll be able to enjoy your health a lot longer – and your family will enjoy having you around.
