PHYSICAL FITNESS

“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. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”- President John F. Kennedy

I think this statement means that when you’re body is healthy and strong, your intelligence and skill tend to function better. Physical fitness is not only good for the body but also for the brain. JFK is saying that exercise is the best way to function creative intellectual at its peak. This is why there is so many benefits to physically staying active. When your body is healthy and strong, so is your brain. To be really smart and skillful at something, you need to be physically active.
