I've just spent the last 24 hours in a hospital due to a family emergency. Seeing the other people in the hospital has really hammered home the old saying: If you don't make time for you health now then you will be forced to make time for your illness later. While many people find themselves in hospital through no fault of their own, it is clear from what I can hear and see that many other people could have avoided being there by taking some time each day to be active and eat/drink a bit less throughout their life. It doesn't need to be running but it does need to be a concerted effort that gets your heart rate up and creates a little discomfort in the body (not pain, just work). And no "running round after the kids" each day, doesn't count.
