HOW TO DESTROY YOUR HEALTH
Get emotional and excited over every trifling occurrence, especially if it is no concern of yours.
Eat and drink indiscriminately. Your stomach is only a sink, anyway, and being make of cast iron, will stand anything.
Cut down on your sleep. This is an excellent way to undermine the nervous system.
Never relax. That would give the body a chance to recuperate.
Avoid all exercise. Exercise promotes circulation.
Read as much as you can about diseases and ailments. Your public library will carry many suitable books.
Discuss your own ailments at great length and, if you have had an operation, give dramatic little lectures about it at every opportunity.
Take good care of your dog, and your horse, and your automobile, but neglect your body. The bible says that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and to go against the Bible is always a good shortcut to trouble.
… If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and will do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statues, I will put none of these diseases upon thee
… for I am the Lord that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26).
