What's this?

I know you are still young, but are you factoring in the long term health


aspect of your diet?

For me, my grandfather died of a heart attack and my dad has to be careful with his diet to prevent similar results. So I have to factor that in when I look at the big picture. It may seem far off, but what you do to your body now will have an impact on your overall health.

And it's important to differentiate health from fitness and performance and strength. I plan to live well over 100 years and so I try to look at not just what I'm eating but the quality of the food. To generalize, the food in the US sucks. Over processed, over pesticide use, over preserved. Fresh, natural, basic food will always be your best bet from a health standpoint. So yes protein and carbs and calories are all important factors, but they are only part of the picture.
