1427948 2016-10-27 20:50:00 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 products .

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: 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: 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: 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!

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!

I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets .

That's not entirely a joke:
It DOES.

Admittedly: Exercise raises your heart rate temporarily, but it lowers your resting heart rate. This means that a person who exercises regularly will have their heart beat slower on average and will typically live longer.

1427951 2016-10-27 23:15:00 A very good analogy SJ .

Personally, I think it’s the Pom’s and their English Language that causes a lot of misunderstandings . ;)

For instance:

I called a friend and asked what was he doing .

He replied that he is working on "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminium and steel under a constrained environment" .

I was impressed . . . . . . but . . . .

On further investigation I found that he was washing dishes with hot water . . . . . under his wife's supervision .
