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

  And remember:

Finally, the Japanese Doctor summed up: Look mister, Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – Beer in one hand – chocolate in the other – body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO-HOO, what a ride my life was”!!!!!

 Eat whatever you like, don’t allow motivational speakers deceive you.

 1. The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54.

 2. The inventor of gymnastics died at the age of 57.

 3. The world bodybuilding champion died at the age of 41.

 BUT

5. The KFC inventor died at 94.

 7. Imagine, cigarette maker Winston died at the age of 102.

 

 8. The inventor of opium died at the age of 116 in an earthquake.

 

 9. Hennessey Cognac inventor died at 98.

 

 How did these doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?

 The rabbit is always jumping up and down but it lives for only 2 years and the turtle that doesn’t exercise at all, lives 400 years.

 So, take some rest, chill, stay cool, eat, drink and enjoy your life.
