For Good Health

and survival

Exercise

 

Your fifty trillion cells
need daily exercise
take a short walk if you can
and good health realize

 

Walking gives your mind a rest
exercise is what you need
if you want to do your best
let your body take the lead

 

Circulation needs a healthy flow
so blood cells will not stagnate
more movement is the way to go
 avoiding clots you might create

 

Health is about what you do
 blood cells must do their work
give them all the help you can
exercise you must not shirk

 

Keep the blood moving along
don't let it stop to form a clot
if what you eat is also wrong
still another problem you've got

 

When blood stops in the brain
consciousness may fade away
life then will be about pain
 there is little more anyone can say

 

If these words seem to bother you
you know now what you must do
eat carefully and go for a walk
action is better than any talk!
