Exercise: The Elixir of Health

Exercise is elixir of health.  No food, no anti-oxidant, no vitamin, no leafy green vegetable or healthy fat will invigorate or boost you almost immediately the way exercise can and will. A walk around your neighborhood will raise your mood.  So, walk.  If you must, walk.  So, walk you must.

If you want more bang for your buck, then climb.  Go for a short hike.  One immediate benefit of exercise is that it will elevate your mood so that you can be more productive.  Pick a local foothill with a gentle grade and walk it.  Another benefit of a hike is that you get out of the hubbub of the city.  You step away from the confines of your computer.  You breathe.  You climb.  You smell the flowers.  The wild ones are incredible.
