Competitive athlete is healthy?
We all know that doing sports is super healthy . Go for a walk , go to the gym 3 to 4 times week , do any sport 3 to 4 times week and off course if you combine with healthy food and good sleep you will live more , look younger and feel much better . But only when you do sports the soft way , not pushing limits trying to break your records or training like a maniac 7 days a week.
And that´s when problems came . When you are a competitive athlete or even someone fanatic about sports you will push over limits and got overtrained super easy , and that´s when sports stop being healthy.
The biggest example are bodybuilder during contest prep and any other athlete from any other sport when is prepping for a competition ( any sport ) . Why? Beause all of them need to push over the limits to get better and win or break is record .
Im not telling people should not compete , im just trying to said like anything in life moderation is the key to longevity and health.
Be strong but health first
