There is a well-known saying that if you have your health you have everything. I never paid a good deal of attention to this. I thought it was some-thing that individuals who did not have the better things in life said to themselves to feel better. I had the benefit of thinking this due to the fact that I had always been very healthy. I took my fitness level for granted and kept pushing myself harder & harder to achieve economic wealth. By the time I was forty years old I had an incredibly nice bank account however I hardly knew my kids and my wife was ready to divorce me.

I explained to my wife that if she would just stay in there with me for 5 more years I would have enough money so I would be able to cut back to part-time hours & we would do the moving & other things that we had put off for the past eighteen years. I pushed myself even harder trying to achieve that goal. I started getting head aches & found that my face was flushed a good deal of the time. My wife convinced me to go to the doctor. I found out that I had high blood pressure & was on the verge of having a stroke - and I had thought I had such great physical fitness! The medical professional put me on medicine to treat the high blood pressure. I felt awful on the medication. The health care provider told me that I could try and lower the blood pressure by changing my lifestyle - such as eating habits & fitness exercise regimens - or we could try another medicine. I decided that I would aim to change my life-style rather than put up with the side effects of the medications.

I have always been a type A personality. I ate on the run, slept 3 to four hours a night & ate what-ever I felt hungry for. Suddenly I found myself trying to eat healthful, get exercise & more sleep. I did not want to surrender my economic goals; however my health care professional was quite blunt with me. He told me that my wife and children would be living off of my life insurance money in the near future if I didn't get my blood pressure under control soon.

My wife, being the fantastic woman that she is, started reducing the salt in my food and began having healthier choices for me around the house. I ate more meals in the home so I could watch the sodium level I was getting. I began cutting back on my work hours. With my free time I started taking in the sporting events that my kids were involved with. My wife & I started taking walks together as well as biking. With her help I dealt with to lower my blood pressure & I started feeling better. It was such a relief to be rid of the head aches, that in hind sight I grasp had been becoming worse. Now that I feel better and have better relationships with my family I understand that having your health is the most imperative thing.
