But You Have To Learn It Feels Good

“Ah, the truth about exercise?”  He replies, “Well, I suspect that exercise is more often a marker of health than its cause — healthy people like to exercise more than unhealthy people to start with.  And the real value of it is not in terms of abstract health benefits like longevity —  and extra few hours or maybe months —  but because it feels good when you do it or when it’s over.  To hell with Hygeia; the truth lies in pleasure.”
—  Dr. Richard Friedman

[For my review of this very interesting book, click: Into The Dark…   And for those of you wondering, Hygeia is the Greek goddess of health.  —  KMAB]
