Life is about finding the right balance, it is about making sustainable choices.

A story about a health problem related to modern extreme life and sport habits:

"A 32-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of oedema and 8 kg of gained weight. The patient practiced excessive physical activity at work and in his spare time, and kept a very thorough training and weight diary. Owing to a high intake of energy and protein drinks he tried to optimise his physical performance and kept a normal body mass index at 23.7. A bone marrow biopsy showed gelatinous bone marrow transformation, normally seen in critically ill patients or those with severe malnutrition. In this case, the cause is presumed to be excessive physical activity/overtraining in combination with relatively insufficient nutrition."
