If you want to fly you have to stay healthy!

So where have I been over the last few weeks?  It wasn’t covid, but it was just as serious, Diverticulitis.  Yes- stopped me in my tracks and the next thing I knew I was in an ambulance and in the hospital for a few days.  I am better now but it got me thinking...

I get emails from people who have health concerns, and at our age we need to step up and take them seriously.  I have to make major life diet changes or I won’t be flying again…. That’s the bottom line.  I am going to do it. I am not overweight, never have been -  blood pressure is fine but I have been eating like crap for over 45 years and it finally caught up with me.  I am going to do it because at the end of the day everything depends on my health, and the same goes for you.

Changing life habits is doable.  I have had emails from people who have asked me these questions, and my answer is simple.  How bad do you want to fly? If you get sick you can’t fly… If you can’t fit into the cockpit you can’t fly. It’s that simple.    You can change.  You can make the necessary changes to be healthy.
