ladies and gentlemen:
it’s great to see all your smiling faces.
i’m here to talk about our health.
everybody wants to be healthy.
we all desire a long and healthy life.
but what’s the best way to make it happen?
to begin with, we are what we eat.

some age gracefully.

the way we age depends on us.

always eat in moderation.

i have a remedy for a cough.

exercising gives us energy.
it keeps our bodies young.
it keeps our minds sharp.
our minds need knowledge.
our souls need love.
our bodies need exercise.
do you agree?
is this true?
how do you feel after exercising?
a friend of mine has his own method to keep fit.
he walks one thousand steps before every meal.
he walks another thousand steps after the meal.
an airline pilot once told me a simple cure for insomnia and jet lag.
take a lot of exercise right after you get up in the morning.
this will help you sleep better.
exercise can be fun.
i jog on my treadmill while watching tv.
it’s so enjoyable i forget i’m working out.
good health is not free.
nothing worthwhile is easy.
you have to work and sweat.
sweat is good.
pain is gain.
no pain, no gain.
thirdly, listen to your bodies.
when you feel tired, take a rest.
when you feel sleepy, go to bed.
move your bowels once a day.
pee whenever you need to.
never hold it in.
when i was a kid, my father taught me one important thing.
always take care of you feet.
your feet are the most important part of your body.
wash your feet every day.
change your socks every day.
keep your feet clean dry.
a doctor told me a story about how to take care of our skin.
an old lady lived in a castle and never went out into the sum.
her skin was as fair as a baby’s.
his advice is this:
never go outside without an umbrella, rain or shine.
be sure to use an umbrella with uv protection.
fourthly, thin is in.
fat’s not where it’s at.
north, south, east, or west, thin is best.
