Was most definetly the first intellegent question that Homo Sapiens asked themselves. But it has taken us thousands and thousands of years to actually answer the question. In fact due to the open wounds of the plethora of people that never really found the answer still roaming the Earth with evil grudges, it is a very tough topic to explain.
One day I realized that if I was going to get smart at all I would have to learn how my brain works inside, so I bought a book on The Brain. So my interest in the question at hand didn't start with a healthy diet, or an excersice program, it started with reading a book.

Like the Earth, the body is also in perpetual motion, and needs to refuel, replenish, rebuild, and heal constantly to generate life. And it wasn't until I picked up the guitar, and drum set my couisin gave to me that I was introduced to how unhealthy I was in the art of practice. But it did take me a long time to realize that I would have to practice every day to get some kind of control of the instrument.
