As I read about Tim Russert's death, it seems he was living the American Dream.
He was doing what he loved.
He was extremely successful and talented in his field.
He seemed like a very likeable person with a happy family life.
But now this talented man who seemed to have everything is gone.
First and foremost, heart disease is not caused by a random cosmic lottery. It is largely predictable and preventable based on lifestyle.
That means getting professional help (medical, dietary and exercise) if necessary. It is not always fun to seek this help. But it is often necessary- particularly for busy people in demanding jobs.
A little bit of exercise and nutritional modification can go a long way towards helping you do the things you really enjoy for years to come.
I am not lecturing since I used to eat horribly and was overweight. But small step by small step, I made better choices which has lead to a better life in every way.
In Never Get Old, at http://www.jeffblairfitness.com/, I show you how to take the small steps necessary to create permanent lifestyle improvement.
Here's hoping Tim Russert's untimely passing increases the national dialogue in these areas.

It's a shame that most people don't realize how valuable health is. It's one of the most important things; if you’re dead you don't have the same life. Tim could have enjoyed a lot longer life at a higher quality if he would have realized this. It's great that you have already realized this and are making a difference. You are a great trainer. I'm very glad we met, you inspire me.
