Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort. We have got to stop telling [older people] not to go outside, it’s too cold, not to go outside, it’s too hot, to just lay down, to just rest, to just relax, to eat at the very first pang of hunger.[We need to understand that] stress is actually very good for the human body.

If you don’t load a bone, it won’t strengthen. If you don’t actually tear a muscle it won’t grow. If you don’t challenge the immune system, it will weaken. So by actually challenging the body, we strengthen the body. By stressing the body, we strengthen the body. And physical stress improves our resilience to mental stress. That’s a biophysiologic fact, by the way.So, your morning routine, not only determines the trajectory of your day, it determines the trajectory of the rest of your life.

But only by stressing the body, we strengthen the body.

If you don't load a bone, it will not strengthen. If you don't tear a muscle, it won't grow.

So well said, and SO much phenomenal advice from Gary Brecka in this conversation with tips on how to thrive in life! See the full podcast episode at https://youtu.be/cdY5Fn5ooyw
