exercises walking is the best.

the USA
The human body
has been designed to resist an infinite number of changes
and attacks brought about by its environment. The secret of
god health lies in successful adjustment to changing
stresses on the body.
-- Harry J. Johnson
American Medical Doctor
Health is my
expected heaven.
-- John Keats
1795-1821, British Poet
The vitamin
has been reified. A chemical intangible originally defined
as a unit of nutritive value, it was long ago reified into a
pill. Now it is a pill; no one except a few precise
scientists define it as anything else. Once the vitamin
became a pill, it became ''real'' according to the precepts
of American Cartesianism: ''I swallow it, therefore it is.''
-- Florence King
1936-, American Author,
Critic
