Here is something I realized this month: All regrowth and rejuvenation "hacks" just promote blood flow. From growing hair to relaxing sore muscles, it is all a game of blood. This also means that that blood needs to be healthy for the healing to happen. I'll be the first to admit that all have done this year, at least since March, is poison my body. I have been surviving only on sugars, processed crap, and chocolate. My buoys in the maelstrom that has been my life. But all this is only worsening my situation. I have gained 20 pounds and have lost a whole lot of hair. I have deep dark circles and attention span is now just attention seconds. Building back is going to be painful and tough. After watching the big guy effortlessly cruise through 500 stairs while every muscle in body was shaking and crying, the shame is unbearable. Health is truly the only wealth that matters; health is the foundation of everything. I hope this realization isn't too late. Here's to all the bad junk I put in my stomach. My body, I hope you can forgive me. And here's to the next decade dedicated to holistic and proper health (no reckless shortcuts, no yo-yo dieting, no punishing). I hope I can give my body the respect it deserves.
And reader, if you exist, by no means we must become health nuts worshiping at the altar of special supplements and protein shakes. Moderation is key. I think I have swayed the balance in the other direction too much and need a hard reset. You are welcome to enjoy moderation. I hope you treated your blood and body better than I did.
