Like this well-crafted example of engineering, after years of disrespect, with our minds on ‘other things’, both YOU and I could end up on the junk pile as well!
I recall attending the Kumeu hot-rod shows, where proud owners stand beside their gleaming 1930’s V8’s, meticulously cared for with every conceivable crevice celebrated in chrome. Meanwhile it’s owner also displays a puku capable of holding a dozen Stein lagers, through years of self-abuse, excess sugar, and alcohol. Brother, your precious car will likely live longer than YOU.
Your knees, lower back, shoulders and elbows need to be used to ward off the threat of arthritis. Lack of exercise contributes to arthritis, much like a rusty hinge and the downfall of the tractor above.
Then there is your heart. This is a muscle that needs to be regularly pushed if you want to stay young and youthful. Playing with the kids and chores around home, shouldn’t be an effort with your body and muscles kept toned and in good condition.
And ‘sick days’………. I mean ‘real’ sick days, should be a thing of the past, if you kept yourself eating healthily and in good condition.
This is your wake-up call. Sure, take pride in your house, your career and your car. But it’s your own body that needs to take priority. Your partner and your kids might agree!
