Many of us fall into the spirit-body divide. Some pursue a life of the mind and spirit by keeping their eyes on heaven and not sweating the chocolate cake. To others, it usually means cutting out the chocolate cake to look better, and maybe even find romance, but heaven has nothing to do with any of it. Either way, physicality is divorced from spirituality.
Dieting can actually be a spiritual endeavor. Getting healthy isn't about looking better. It's about feeling better, happier and more grateful for the blessing of a healthy body that is the receptacle and expression of our spirituality.
While we can’t stop the aging process, it is possible to maintain weight as we get older. Engaging in a regular strength and conditioning program can retain and increase lean body mass as we age. In the long run, living a healthy life is the best prescription for optimal aging.
