Its nice to see people spend more time thinking about their health and taking direct actions to improve it. This really stood out for me though:
During these two months I'd not been exercising at all.
Working in the health field I can't begin to express how important it is to exercise frequently. The human body is designed to run, not to sit in an office for 8 hours a day punctuated by 2 minute walking breaks to the bathroom every few hours.
Also, stop eating once in a while. Nearly every culture and religion has a historical link to fasting yet only recently are the benefits being explored in a scientific manner.
Please fellow HN, take heed from the author and try to commit to a good diet and regular exercise, for the sake of you and your family.
Great work Harj, keep it up. You're a source of inspiration for many.
For how long and how often would you recommend we 'stop eating once in a while'? Or do you have resources that recommend what would be a beneficial amount of fasting?
Just wondering what steps I could take to be healthier, as I've never even considered fasting in the past. Thanks!

This is referring to Intermittent fasting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting). The best guide I've seen to getting started with this is here: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2013/08/06/a-beginners-guide...
