the fourth new dimension....


Misconceptions about food now explained - Pay attention!! 
  
   
 
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 reduce my alcohol intake?
 
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
 
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
 
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

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: Is chocolate bad for me?


A: Are you crazy? HELLO ...... Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?


A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?


A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, What a ride!"

So, who is slimming anyway................




 







 
Eat right!

 
Make sure you get your daily dose of
fruits and veggies.


 
Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin C.


 
Get plenty of exercise because
exercise helps build your immune system.


 
Walk for at least an hour a day,


 
go for a swim,


 
take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.


 
Wash your hands often.

If you can't wash them,

keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around.


 
Get lots of fresh air.
Open doors & windows whenever possible.


 
Try to eliminate as much stress
from your life as you can.


 
Get plenty of rest.

OR

 
Take the doctor's approach.

Think about it...

When you go for a shot,

what do they do first?
They Clean your arm with alcohol...

Why?

Because Alcohol KILLS GERMS.

So.......

 
I walk to the liquor store. . . (exercise)
I put lime in my Corona. . .(fruit)
Celery in my Bloody Mary. . . (veggies)
Drink on the dock . .(fresh air)
Tell jokes, laugh. . . (eliminate stress)
Then pass out. (rest)

The way I see it...

 
If you keep your alcohol levels up,

flu germs  can't get you!

 
My grandmother always said,
"A shot in the glass
is better than one in the ass!"
