People In Health Food Stores
Jack Lalanne has said it for years. Nutrition is the King, exercise is the Queen, and together they make a kingdom. Who can argue with the guy? His results speak for themselves. Trouble is not everyone gets this. Have you ever been in a health food store, for instance, and seen some of the people that shop there? Thin, pale, just plain unhealthy looking. Some of them may be SO focused on the “food” supplements, juices, veggies, fruits, nuts, grains etc….that they forget all about the other side. Exercise.
Sure, the fuel (nutrition) has to be taken care of first. Before exercise. No amount of exercise will fix a crappy diet, but the other side of the coin is true as well. If you don’t give your body the need to take in and utilize your nutrition with exercise then it just won’t bother. Over time bodies adapt to this. Calcium supplements, for instance, are pretty much useless unless you also exercise. What kind of exercise? Standing on your own 2 feet doing resistance exercises, cardio exercises and flexibility exercises. Otherwise there is no need called for anybody’s body to utilize the calcium. Its the old “Filling up the bucket with a hole in it syndrome.” Body adapts, symptoms are felt. What happened?
Its the Fusion again and its not really magic, even though it may seem like it. Nature doing it’s work. The only real hurdle is doing it. Eat well, exercise and you look and feel great. Miss one of them and over time you won’t. Pretty simple.

Hi Matt,
Yes true enough. Many think that exercise will “fix” all the stuff they eat during the other 23 hours. Not so.

I can definitely attest to the fact that nutrition AND exercise are key.
Focusing completely on one or the other has seriously compromised my own results in the past. There is 24 hours in a day, and every single one counts towards optimizing health!
Keep up the good work Robert!
