Brain C-13 Review
Nurturing the mind is as important to fitness as Brain C-13 Review exercising the body. Today, let's talk about something that will make you feel young again, really. It may actually make you, physiologically, younger, by changing your mindset and improving your mental health, a worthy goal. Here it is, an easy, possibly free, and completely safe way to travel back in time. No kidding. It's real, possible, affordable, and you can do it. Heck, everyone can do it. Do something you haven't done in many years. Do something you did as a kid or a teen, something you did often and enjoyed immensely. Here is an example.
I just went for a swim. I mean a real swim, over a mile. Yes, I swam a couple of thousand yards in the pool at the Y. For me, that's magical. Why. Well, I grew up on a swim team, and during the summer, we practiced twice a day, morning and evening. So, I smelled like chlorine all the time. I guess you could say I reeked of chlorine. My eyes were always bloodshot - no goggles back then - and I always had a tanned and at the same time, bleached, look about me.
And, of course, essential to my pleasure was the fact that when I was swimming, I was surrounded with friends. For a few hours after practice, I felt a sweet tiredness in my muscles. So that means I felt that sensation much of the time. Now fast forward many years. And I mean 'many' as I am now 56. If I so much as get a whiff of chlorine, I start to get a sense of those wonderful times, and if I actually get in a pool and swim, it all comes back. I know I am not as fit as then, as tan as then, as slender as then.
I know my friends - well, those friends - are not in the pool with me, but all the same, it is a delightful reminder of those days. When I get out of the pool, the great feeling, the essence of it, lasts for hours. I feel exactly the same sweet tiredness as I felt 40 years ago. Exactly. It's like a mood-altering, reality-altering drug that's not a drug but a natural, healthy, satisfying experience, and I wish it for everyone.
