Diet and exercise combined is the best way to maintain a healthy and youthful body. Listen to a nursery rhyme by Wayne Fields:
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990
1. Sunshine, water, air, rest, exercise and diet. The first three are given to us by nature. The last three, we have to manage ourselves. This doesn't seem to be difficult.
In fact, rest is easy. You only have to get enough sleep in a day - that is about 6-8 hours a day - to get enough sleep.
Albert Einstein, who discovered that a tiny amount of mass is equal to a huge amount of energy, which explains why, as Einstein himself so eloquently put it in a famous 1939 speech to the Physics Department at Princeton.
"You have to exercise for a week to work off the thigh fat from a single Snickers." ~Dave Barry, Dave Barry Turns 50
2. A good diet. There are diet teas, pills, shakes and food supplements nowadays. Yet, normal programmed diet is still the best. Buy yourself a crate of fruits and vegetables. You can eat these whenever you are hungry.
Steam the vegetables before eating except the carrots which you can eat raw. Cut on carbohydrates, it's not good for the heart. Take meat for protein just enough cuts, not too much during full meals.
Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork. ~English Proverb
Eating too much may sometimes mean depression especially for women. Avoid doing this; you can always consult a specialist to avoid further problems of obesity.
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. ~Henry David Thoreau
3. Fitful exercise. Exercise can be done every day by walking early in the morning. But if you don't have the time, you can schedule your exercise twice or three times a week.
Studies show that you can make exercises before going to sleep at night. There are programs for stretching and repeated body movements for better blood circulation.
It is exercise alone that supports the spirits, and keeps the mind in vigor. ~Marcus Tullius Cicero
