Healthy Living

Healthy living seems to have lost its meaning to most of us. These days we are much more concerned with fast food, simplicity and low effort living than looking after our own health. I'm noticing disturbing trends in regards to myself. I rather spend another hour in front of my computer than engaging into an hour of exercise.

Even though I KNOW that I'm failing myself I can't seem to stop sabotaging my own body for the sake of entertainment. Others probably do the same with TV, games, gambling. Why is it that we neglect our health and then when we get sick we bang our head against the door wondering how on earth we could be that stupid?

Are we a human race of self sabotaging monsters? I really don't know. The answers are all but elude me at present. My health is important to me (at least in theory). In practice though I consistently fall short on my own values. Duh...!

What do you feel about healthy living and how do you treat yourself on the subject?
