How To Be Healthy

‘You just need to be healthy. And you know what I mean?

You need to shit regularly. That’s it.

And how do you do that?

  • You don’t eat junk food.
  • You sleep seven to nine hours a night.
  • Avoid excess alcohol.
  • Exercise.

And by exercise I don’t mean run eight miles a day. I mean take walks. Can you take a ten-minute walk every ninety minutes? Can you take a twenty-minute walk? Can you use the stairs instead of the elevator? Do five minutes of yoga?
