Your heart keeps beating in your chest, <br />incessantly. And thank you, God. <br />The only time it gets to rest <br />is when it's working, which is odd. <br /> <br />So many things attack the heart, <br />from poisons to a lack of care. <br />It takes some knowledge to be smart <br />and give it always its fair share. <br /> <br />The nutrients that drive your system <br />are not an option to ignore. <br />Believe me, those who often miss them <br />live to their fifties, not much more. <br /> <br />Coenzyme-Q, Potassium, Juice, <br />the B-complex and lots of C, <br />there really is no good excuse <br />to do without to a degree. <br /> <br />No need to learn biology, <br />the names of chemicals as such, <br />to forestall any misery <br />apply the rules with golden touch. <br /> <br />Just eat thy food as God intended <br />and stay away from modern things. <br />The age of common sense has ended, <br />we do not know what this one brings. <br /> <br />To keep your health become a shaker, <br />and question all, get educated, <br />and when it's time to meet your maker <br />your body will be A-1 rated. <br /> <br />A tiny warning though I'll add: <br />About the heart, its biggest foe <br />is one small germ which is quite mad. <br />equipped to kill just like a pro. <br /> <br />The favourite place for him to hide <br />and send his scouts down to your valves, <br />is in the gums, so deep inside <br />that nothing gets them, pills or salves. <br /> <br />So, if you have postponed attending <br />the dentist due to inborn fear, <br />remember that the most heart-rending <br />result will be an early tear.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-one-tear-you-may-miss/
