What do you guys do to stay healthy/keep your medical? Any of you take supplements or anything? I assume exercise. How do you eat somewhat healthy on the road?
 
Guiness, has everything you need to stay healthy
 
juniper berries.

Natures hidden secret to staying fit and living well.



HISTORY of GIN

In the 17th century, a Dutch doctor developed the basic formula for gin as a medicine. Juniper berries were believed to contain therapeutic oils that could provide the early inhabitants of Holland with an inexpensive medicine. Whether it healed the sick or not, it did make them very happy. Carried from Holland to England by soldiers and other travelers, the English adapted this rich, sweet juniper flavored drink to their palates. By the end of the 19th century they had formulated a lighter, less pronounced juniper flavor that would be more widely accepted. This blend was known as "London Dry" and it is now the most popular type of gin throughout the world

I'm not on the road these days so it's easier to stay with a regimen now. I like to swim and have worked up to doing two or three miles a day in the muni pool. Also ride a bike or walk to work. Additionally I see a behavioral opthamologist and do eye exercises. I'm about to turn 50 and happy to say I still don't need glasses except for vision training or when I'm really tired.

My hearing's not so good these days. Too many years of loud airplanes (former day job) and loud hotel/casino showrooms (former night job) with no hearing protection. So I'm anal now about heading off any further deterioration and use ear plugs often or avoid loud environments.

Swimming isn't easy to do when you're on the road. I suppose I'd learn to like jogging if I find myself doing road trips again.

I eat pretty much anything I want, but I've cut way back on portions. Eating at home helps--it's cheaper and besides, restaurants' servings are way too gigantic nowadays. In those quantities it's not food anymore, it's feed.

I still go out for meals, just not as often as I used to. And I try to minimize both fast food and junk food except for the occasional guilty splurge. Not sure how I'd handle eating on the road these days and would like to hear how you guys do it.

I dropped 15 pounds last year and have a goal to drop another 15 to get down to 155 (I'm 5'6")--hope to achieve by the end of summer. My blood pressure's a bit elevated and I'm hoping it will come down some more as the weight drops off.

Ah Guinness, the nectar of the gods! Time for another one, or a black & tan, or a black velvet, or a port & Guinness, or... Where was I? :)

Lots of Wendy's, and not much exercise. I weigh 130lbs, and no doubt could ace the 1st-class medical, so long as prior surgeries/medication are not disqualifying.
 
Consult my avatar. (But I definitely could *ahem* lay off the Wendy's a bit.) Currently 5'11", 170 lbs.

Lots and Lots of Sushi, swim at every hotel I can and i'd be doing a lot better if I could stop drinking. How else do you entertain yourself on the road???
 
Is sushi healthy? I think it is, but anybody know?(I need justifcation!)
