Dhirubhai Ambani, “Look Son, you can buy any luxury you want in life, from clothes to food, from a home to a holiday, but you can never buy health. Do whatever it takes to make yourself feel good.”

• ‘If I don’t run three days in a row, I get withdrawal symptoms’• ‘Five days I run indoors on a treadmill for two

hours, the sixth day it is always outdoors.’• An activity like this releases endorphins in the

body and gets the neurotransmitter working. The saratonin levels rise. This gives you a huge high. When you are depressed, your saratonin levels fall.

going on in your mind, and just concentrate on the time, distance, or the sweat. Running helps me to clear my mind.”
