Exercise is Bad for Good Health

It is a bad idea to pump up your muscles, or jog the extra mile. It may look nice to have a well toned body. However the consequences may not be good in later life. What is needed is to go about with one's chores, and once in a while bend a little, release a little. Bending can be in and to any degree. Release can be Solid, Liquid or Gas at regular intervals and not waiting for the daily schedule.

Staying Healthy

It is a misconceived notion that one has to be lean to be declared healthy. It is a better idea if one can be flexible. Being Fat or Thin is then immaterial.
