Alpha Male

For Jokoy and Cris

          

A man’s mental health is as vital as his physical health. To attain optimal health, he ought to balance these two aspects of his totality.

 

In this modern age, while he is born to handle and lead well in the most critical aspects of human affairs, he also has to take care of himself in order to do such enormous tasks well.

 

For one, a man’s diet is essential to keep him both sane and sober the whole day of work. His proper diet is simply indispensable--a good load of carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins will surely make him endure a long day’s work. It enables him to make happen hundreds of possibilities.

 

For one, I consider myself the usual, practical male specie—self-driven, hardworking, energetic, goal-oriented, and open-minded.

 

While I prefer swimming and basketball as the tolerable sports, I also make it a point to keep my mind active each day. I read a lot to expand my knowledge. Besides my activities in the workplace, I also get in touch with friends through e-mail and exchange knowledge and ideas with them.

 

The most desirable male specie is one who recognizes these two aspects and does things to keep them in balance. That ancient law of moderation can surely help him achieve his optimum health. He must do everything in moderation. This involves his work habits, his diet, his exercise, and his sex life.

 

Such holistic balance is ideal to some but it is, however, attainable. The male organism only has to significantly know and learn about his own body, mind, and all his other energies in order to appreciate his total person. So he could make much sense with it.
