    By far, the most important survival tool.

    Nothing else matters if your health is not up to par. What do y'all do to stay in shape? Do you take prescription medication, and if so, what are you doing to free yourself from it?

    I run a lot, but through the winter it tapers off to 2-3 days a week. Just enough to maintain a base level of fitness. I'm also coming back from an injury that kept me out for a couple months.

    Anyway, I'm ramping up the miles and increasing my pace. (I hope to crack 1:30 in my fall half marathon).
    I don't eat a lot of meat, especially chicken and pork. They just don't sit well with me.
    I love some good booze, but limit it to 2 days a week.
    I don't take any medications.
    I try to get to bed early and get plenty of rest.
    Regular physicals help to keep any surprises from cropping up. I was diagnosed with hypo-thyroidism a few years back and the doctor said I'd be on prescription medications the rest of my life. 3 months later I didn't need them any longer, just through a dietary change.

    So, how are y'all keeping your most important survival tool sharp?

    I do many repetitions of 12 oz curls followed by cleanser of whiskey and water. I do watch what I eat as I love the looks of a big fat juicy steak I watch it carefully as it cooks over a bed of coals. Eggs and bacon or sausage on the weekends.

    I'm sorry I cant follow or get into the vegan health nut lifestyle. I'm going to clog my arteries and trash my liver.... but die a very happy man. Now pass the beef please.

    Also I tend to stay away from doctors all they want to do is turn you into a freakin pin cushion and sell you a bunch of pills.

    I'm living large fat and happy. But it doesn't mean you should.

    I'm not a vegan, I just pay attention to what I eat. Any diet that requires that you take supplements to survive is bs in my opinion. There are religions that promote it, but religion is equally bs..so.....

    I was vegetarian for about 3 months but couldn't live without sashimi. Different strokes I guess, but I don't see the point in survival preparedness if you chronically abuse your body.

    I simply get more enjoyment out of life when I'm in good shape, eating and sleeping well. If you want to avoid being put on a bunch of medication, a good lifestyle is better that just not going it to get the bad news.

    I truly think that the effects of most forms of mild depression, and illness can be truncated with exercise. When you start being more active, you also start craving better food and the cycle continues. There isn't a lot of $$$ in just promoting eating good food and getting exercise though.
