Many people have it in their minds that athletes are healthy because they are fit. However, if you look across the board at the professional level of sport, and if you analyze the statistics and health profiles of these athletes, you will find that, while they are super fit, ..
..but the process they employ to achieve this level of fitness may actually undermine their health. An athletes health is greatly impaired because of the catabolic state their body remains for long periods.
Unaware of the anabolic/catabolic relationship, or that the pursuit of fitness can result in decidedly negative health consequences, most people still associate fitness (or exercise) with health.
In reality, fitness and health are not extrinsically linked; as one goes up, the other does not necessarily go up with it.
Understand to distinguish between fitness & health and shift your focus from how much exercise you can endure to how much you require to cultivate the positive fitness properties from exercise, thereby enhancing your chances for improved health and longevity.
