The Three Pillars of Health

The Three Pillars of Health

Many people tend to assume someone is healthy just by their physical appearance.

In other words, it's not abnormal to assume that a guy who is ripped and muscular to be very healthy, or a girl who looks skinny & lean to be very healthy.

Sometimes we label ourselves healthy because we got great numbers back from our last routine physical.

And I don't think it's necessarily wrong to assume health based on these things, but I don't feel like it's good enough.

For example, I have known guys who looked amazing but smoked cigarettes and took lots of illegal substances. And they would be the first to admit that they were NOT very healthy.

I also know people who had great health markers from their Doctor but felt low energy, carried some excess bodyfat, and suffered from chronic pain.

So, if those assumptions don't always hold up, then what does it really mean to be healthy?

How can we really determine HOW HEALTHY someone is?

Here are the three PILLARS. Two of which are important, but not good enough to stand on their own, but number 3 is the true X-Factor for determining someones health.

  1. Optimal bodyfat numbers - We all have an optimal level of bodyfat determined by our DNA to be at our best. Lower is not always better just like higher is not better. In fact, being too high or too low would negatively effect #3 and thereby decrease your health.
  2. Great "Doctor" numbers - healthy people tend to have "better than normal" numbers from their Doctor.
  3. Physical Capacity - This is the pillar of health that most people don't consider. A person's physical capacity holds the greatest potential for creating massive gaps among people in terms of health. A fitter, more physically capable person is more healthful than a person who has low physical capabilities.

By these three Pillars, the healthiest people in the world are the ones who have optimal bodyfat, better than normal numbers from their Doc, AND they have the highest physical capacities.

So, how do you achieve your highest health potential?

  1. Eat mostly high-quality food,
  2. Sleep well at night
  3. Train your body to get stronger, more powerful, and have more endurance

Do these three things consistently over time and you'll be living a very healthy life in a body that looks, feels, and performs great all while hedging yourself away from both aging and death.

Want help simplifying this process so you can build superior health in the most efficient way possible?
