I love this Doctor :)

 

Makes sense.......

Misconceptions about food and diets: Interview with Chinese therapist..

Q: Doctor, 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: 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...GREAT..!

 

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… WHATSAY! 

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

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

 

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer  heart attacks than Americans. 

5.. Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of  sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like...... That's the order of the Day. Happy TGIF. J
