Fitness and health are not necessarily the same thing at all.
A person may run the marathon but eat junk food, drink caffeine and smoke.
Many athletes have very tense muscles and a decided lack of composure.
People punish their bodies on the road to fitness.
Fitness is usually result-oriented, and the means is ignored - the body is made to perform, regardless of any adverse biofeedback.
This is not healthy at all.
Running the marathon is meaningless if it damages your knees or you have a heart attack.
Health is different to fitness: it involves a physical, mental and emotional balance that transcends any one activity.
Place wellbeing before fitness:

Place wellbeing before fitness:
-
Eat the right types of food (avoid additives, junk food, caffeine, alcohol and nicotine)
-
Get rest and relaxation
-
Exercise comfortably and naturally
-
Feel happy and well-adjusted
You might well be healthy but not
overly fit.
