Hi, I'm Canberra-based physical
educator John Miller.
We're living in strange times.
Our governments spend more money that ever before on 'health' and
yet people have never been more unhealthy.
We're in a cleft stick.
On the one hand there's a struggle between our need to move more and
more and our desire to purchase machines and gadgets that allow us
to move less and less.
On the other hand the food manufacturing industry as perverted
the course of healthy eating in communities around the world,
serving their customers in the shortest possible time and giving
them the biggest possible energy bang for the least number of bucks.
When you click on the links below, you'll be taken to my websites.

Keeping yourself
fit and healthy
We are indeed living in strange times.
1. We're living in an age of personally generated
metabolic, musculo-skeletal and psychological dysfunction; that's
the bad news.
The good news is that if these dysfunctions are
personally generated then there's a fair likelihood they can be personally 'ungenerated'.
2. We're living in the
age of motion starvation. We're not getting enough exercise to keep
ourselves fit and healthy. Along with diet, physical fitness is the
foundation of good metabolic (and mental) health. In the sit down society is well nigh
impossible to stay healthy without a regular and systematic aerobic fitness,
strength and flexibility training program.
I read somewhere that oxygen can be regarded as a form
of food. It's an essential nutrient required by every
cell in the body if the body is to function at an optimal
level. It's vigorous aerobic fitness activity that 'turbocharges'
your intake of oxygen.
3. We're living in the junk food era where refined,
manufactured food has become the standard fare for many people. It's
cheap, tasty and packed with energy. (400 gms of chocolate is more
than enough to power the body for a day.) What junk food doesn't do is nourish the cells of your body.
It's a high energy, low 'octane' diet.
4. We're living in the age of junk medicine, where drugs are
used to mask the symptoms of personally-generated body system
dysfunctions with no intention
of restoring poor
function to good. The health of the drug consumer gets worse. Sooner
or later a small problem becomes a big problem.
There are a few things you need to be aware of if
you're going to keep yourself fit and healthy.
First, it's a big ask
expecting to be healthy without keeping yourself fit.
Second it's also a big ask expecting to stay healthy if the
food you eat isn't nourishing the cells of your body.
Third, it's a big ask expecting to get better by having
someone do something to you; sooner or later you have to do something
to yourself.

websites and view a selection of my websites which are designed to
give you some of the tools to keep yourself in exceptionally good
condition.
