Playing More Sports

I am spending a lot more time in physical activity now that I am not spectating. This inverse ratio seems obvious--if I'm watching TV I can't be playing. Still, the experience of doing more surprises and delights me.

Specifically, I'm walking more (hiking, really), biking more, and playing more vigorous games with my granddaughters.

A few years ago I read THE CHOLESTEROL MYTH, a book--by a physician--claiming that cholesterol levels were not the main problem with heart disease. The author speculated that the two killers are obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. I do not know if the author is right, but I certainly feel better these days.
