The human body is an incredible machine. Its powers of recovery are extraordinary. We abuse our bodies with all sorts of poisons – nicotine, alcohol, sugar, etc. – yet they keep soldiering on. Any time we decide to stop abusing ourselves and lead a healthier lifestyle, our bodies recover with extraordinary speed. It’s not just the body that feels healthier either. The mind responds to the way we live too. Eat healthily, take exercise, and we feel better mentally as well as physically. The reverse is also true: abuse your body and your mental health suffers too.
