IN Latin, mens sana in corpore sano means 'a healthy mind in a healthy body.' A certified public accountant (CPA) cannot develop his or her mind without taking adequate care of the body. The development of both must go hand in hand.

During this very busy season, all CPAs are stressed out and burning the midnight oil doing audits, income taxes and meeting tax deadlines. Care and development of the body are more often than not neglected. If health issues crop up, we find ourselves shattered, life's zest is lost and the intellect crippled.
