Important Health Tips from
the Doctor ...
---------------------------------
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can
prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and
that's it ... don't waste them on exercise.
Everything
wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will
not make you live longer; that's like saying you can
extend the life of your car by driving it faster.
Want
to live longer? Take a nap.
--------------------------------------
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more
fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What
does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are
these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more
than an efficient mechanism of delivering
vegetables to your system. Need grain?
Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field
grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork
chop can give you 100% of your recommended
daily allowance of vegetable slop.
---------------------------------
Q: Is beer or wine bad for me?
A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits
and vegetables. As we all know, scientists divide
everything in the world into three categories:
animal, mineral and vegetable. We all know that
beer and wine are not animal, and they are not
on the periodic table of elements, so that only
leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger
and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables.
-----------------------------------
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat,
your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies,
your ratio is two to one, etc.
---------------------------------
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating
in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My
philosophy is: No Pain - Good.
-------------------------------------
Q: If I stop smoking, will I live longer?
A: Nope. Smoking is a sign of individual statement
and peace of mind. If you stop, you'll probably stress
yourself to death in record time.
----------------------------------
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: You're not listening. Foods are fried these days
in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How
could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
----------------------------------
Q: What's the secret to healthy eating?
A: Thicker gravy.
-------------------------------
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a
little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it
gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if
you want a bigger stomach.
--------------------------------
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? Hello ... Cocoa beans ... Another
vegetable!!! "It's the best feel-good food around!"
Well I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions
you may have had about food and diets. Have a
cookie ... flour is a veggie!
One more thing. "When life hands you lemons,
ask
for a bottle of tequila and the salt."
