As a 46-year-old father, my advice to parents is this: teach your kids that strength, fitness, and vitality matter—but don’t frame it as some elite or heroic pursuit. Fitness should be as normal as brushing your teeth, not some sacred ritual that makes them superior to others.
In a world where you can get instant food, instant entertainment, instant coffee and even instant dates, waiting months to see results feels like torture. Quick fixes prey on our impatience, our frustration with slow progress, and our deep desire for an easy way out. But here’s the truth: real, lasting health isn’t found in a bottle, a crash diet, or a “miracle” program. It’s built through smart choices, discipline, and patience.

Think of how amazing it’ll feel to look back in a few months and say, “Wow, I really crushed it!”
Forget those expensive pills, trendy “longevity teas,” and miracle fads promising eternal youth—there’s no magic potion for a longer life. You’ve seen the ads: “Reverse aging with this one superfood!” or “Boost your lifespan with our 12-step supplement stack!” Save your money (and your sanity).
