A reader asks whether Matt takes vitamins or eats a special diet in order to stay so healthy and youthful.
Yes I do.
I eat one big meal a day, usually at noontime, and then two health shakes made with fat-free, lactose-free milk, in the morning and evening, and a long list of vitamins and minerals, depending on my ailments. I’ve been doing this for about 60 years, the one-meal regimentation for the last 3 years. This and the exercise keep me healthy, wealthy, and wise (although I’m not sure about the wealthy, since the vitamins are very expensive!).
I don’t think anybody can keep our bodies in repair except ourselves, so it comes down to self-discipline. An artist goes up and down scaffolds and pulls wood and concrete around. Living in my 77th year, I can’t disregard my physical abilities.
We must always keep our friendships in repair, and as I get older, I have to keep my body in repair. Even if you don’t like exercise or eating in a healthy way, trick yourself into liking it, because you won’t like the results if you don’t do it.
So be careful, eat right, exercise, and keep your mind and body working together towards the good that you want to do.
Matt
