Ask Dr Bits

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: 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?  

QWill 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! 

Thanks Gene
