Is this true?A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, andthat's it, don't waste them away on exercise. Everything wears out eventually.Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying youcan extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Takea nap. Q: Should I cut down on meatand eat more fruits and vegetables?A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What doesa cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothingmore than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Needgrain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafyvegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended dailyallowance of vegetable slop. Q: Is beer or wine bad forme?A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruitsand vegetables. As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world intothree categories: animal, mineral, and vegetable. We all know that beer andwine are not animal, and they are not on the periodic table of elements, sothat only leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger anda beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables. Q: How can I calculate mybody/fat ratio?A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat,your ratio is one to one.
