As layman I see it as: the body and the mind go together.

English translation of the poet Juvenal
You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Ask for a stout heart that has no fear of death,and deems length of days the least of Nature's gifts
that can endure any kind of toil,that knows neither wrath nor desire and thinks the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than the loves and banquets and downy cushions of Sardanapalus.
What I commend to you, you can give to yourself;For assuredly, the only road to a life of peace is virtu
e.

I started listening to my body at 39. I had seen (just by looking and observing others) I have come to the conclusion I was much healthier than the people my age then and decided to improve on what I had.

When I read Rousseau, Emile, Or On Education, I was surprises he suggested feed a child and how to dress him up. I knew that Brazilian mothers would warp babies up like a cigar, while he suggested to let limbs free.
Russeau saw feeding and educating as a single thing

That was after returning from Nigeria. I cut down on alcohol. I had 59Kg I went to 67.5Kg in 100 days pumping iron and eating Brazilian food.

I still wear the jeans I wore when I was 20 years of age: 32/34 regular fit. Still have that weight when I met you 10 years ago.

My own nature is my friend: I can't stand still and have restless mind, I burn the carbs and do not store it. I eat in small portions over the course of the day. Am like an Asian. I graze instead of eating big meals like in Brazil.

I'm a Russeaunian by my own nature. Survive the corrupt society. Russeau wanted a system that did not corrupt man (man as in mankind) as man is intrinsically good.

For Hobbes man was intrinsically bad -Man is his own wolf- and only society could keep him uncorrupted.

The Hobbesian man was astute (Lei de Gerson in Brazil) Always trying to take advantage of the next guy. Not doing so would be for otario..
