Can you guys recommend me some books about health, fitness, and the general well-being of the human body?
Thank you.

Fitness, like human endeavor in general, is pointless vanity since everyone has at most a few decades of life, followed by death. We are no different than mayflies, where it counts.
But OP, if you would like to maximize your mayfly-existence in this way, /fit/ is the better board to ask. They even have a sticky that they demand Everyone Fucking Read before they ask any questions!

You sound like you're a lot of fun at parties. What a sorry cunt.

Sticky on /fit/. If you want science textbooks, sticky on /sci/.

I have some books specifically about long distance running and endurance training as it pertains to long distance running, but they are rather technical and it doesn't sound like what you're looking for to be honest family.
I'll give you a bump though, if only to counteract the high functioning autism going on itt.

/fit/ is all you need.
My life: /fit/ + /lit/
Keep in mind that being a /fit/ regular will expose you to similarly minded people and the motivation to keep you on track; exactly the same way that /lit/ hopefully encourages you to read more high quality literature.

Imagine passing ones youth up without seeing what ones body can do physically. You are like a flower that didn't bloom and become as beautiful and strong as it could have before it faded.

Would love to know the books you're talking about. I want to run marathons one day.

The second edition of Daniels' Running Formula. It's great for most racing distances and the required training, plus it covers the a lot of the scientific methodologies behind your training as well. It's a pretty great book. I think there's a third edition now, but I haven't read it.
Another on is The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing.

I'd consider him a realist, but in philosophical terms he's what's called a pessimist. Which does mean he's bad at parties.

>The Perfect Health Diet by Paul Jaminet
Super solid book explaining what you should eat with a million citations to back it up. Definitely not the last word when it comes to dieting but a fantastic entry point.

Having suffered from a chronic condition for most of my life, I can tell you the difference between good and bad health is immeasurable. Trying to live a healthy lifestyle is probably one of the few universal pieces of advice applicable to everyone.

Ask /fit/. The board which is literally dedicated to this one, specific subject.

Just because we're all going to die doesn't mean a significantly longer life is without worth. And being healthy makes you feel wonderful, something you will greatly appreciate in old age. There is no sensible point in ignoring your one's health, your attitude towards it is moronic.
