"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew:that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."
-John F. Kennedy
A healthy body has many components. Two are mental and physical fitness. One must have a healthy mind to have a sound body and understand what is beneficial for us and what is harmful. The beneficial being a healthy diet and exercise and the negative being no activity or healthy diet. If we take care of those then our intelligence and alertness will be at its peak. They depend on each other.
