Joe and I were discussing the other day how little most people pay attention to their bodies. It occurred to us that we often take better care of our cars than ourselves. Ask yourself:
When was the last time you took your car in for an oil change/scheduled maintenance? When was the last time you've taken yourself in for a physical or had your blood profile checked?
How many miles are on your tires? How many miles are on your gym shoes?
Have you ever attempted a long car trip on empty or overfilled your tank when the car is not being used? How many times have you forgotten to eat during a long stressful day or stayed home and stuffed yourself when you had nothing better to do?
When your engine makes strange noises, do you crank the radio and ignore it, or call a mechanic? When your body is making strange noises do you crank the iPod and run, or do you seek a professional's help?

In a lifetime you may own 10 different cars. A body is a one time deal! It is the only truly priceless asset you will ever own! Why not give it at least the same attention as we give our cars?
