By fitness the pictures that come to mind are bulging muscles, extraordinary strength, athletic built. However as I see it, fitness has more to do with the resistance of the body and stamina. When these faculties are at the peak you are at peak fitness. Now you will probably agree to my view that there is no age limit for achieving peak fitness.

Fitness is closely associated with lifetime commitment to follow good habits. There is nothing scary about these good habits, they are simple age-old rules that help to regulate your body properly. Following good eating habits is one of them.

The importance of a good digestive system cannot be over-emphasized in maintaining a good health. In normal circumstances our body is sufficiently capable of taking good care of our digestive system. The problem comes when we start abusing our own systems.

In our modern day lifestyle we take recourse to abusing our bodies in many ways. Some of these are - intake of patented health food and beverages, new diet which promise to restore and preserve youth and vitality and so on. In fact they may be doing more harm than good.

It is common knowledge that to maintain body weight at certain level you should keep a balance of quantity of calories coming in and quantity being used by body movements. A bar of chocolate will give about the same calories as five apples. But one bar of chocolate will hardly give the feeling of fullness which five apples can provide. To get about the same amount of fullness you can imagine how many chocolate bars will have to be consumed. The chocolate will not give fibre or roughage which is provided by apple. Fibre is necessary for good bowel movement and good digestion.

Sufficient roughage is present in foods such as wholewheat flour, unpolished rice, fruits, vegetables, pulses etc. People who are on high fibre diet are seldom obese. This is because intake of excess calories is avoided in high fiber diet. It gives a feeling of fullness so overeating is avoided. In addition you get the nutrition which is naturally present in these foods.

If you wish to have peak fitness there is no way you can avoid high fibre diet. They say - take care of stomach and it will take care of your body. Eating high fibre diet is a part of good eating habits. And good eating habits are just one part of commitment you need to maintain for lifetime fitness.

There is plenty of wisdom in this age-old rule - have regular dose of fruits and vegetables. We need to watch out as we go further and further away from our natural habits.
