The inspiration for this book comes from many different areas of my life. First, over my 22-year military career, I've had the unique opportunity to travel all around the world. During these journeys, I have realized that America undoubtedly ranks in the lowest 1/3 of all countries I visited personally when it comes to overall citizen healthand wellness. Our nutrition is lacking, and our exercise plans don't even compare in some cases.
For example, in many countries I visited, the primary mode of travel is by bicycle, while in other countries, walking is preferable. Whereas in America (New York being one of the major exceptions), if we have a motorized vehicle then we are more than likely spending plenty of our traveling days in it.
