Paraphrasing Haruki Murakami in his book on running: to deal with something as unhealthy as being a writer and student of Japanese, it is necessary to be as healthy as possible.

Are you fit? I used to be primarily interested in strength training for my physical activity, and not much else. More and more, though, from both my experience and the science, I'm coming to believe that a solid aerobic base, good nutrition and other healthy habits are essential in keeping the mind nimble, especially when we have such great expectations of it. Something to think about, anyway.
