Six Words: Apple, Activity, Expenditure, Stadium, Obese, Century
We have lots of ways to describe body types. Body types that are considered attractive vary by location, by culture and by time. Some people are hourglass shaped and for a woman in our society in the current century, an hourglass shape is usually considered attractive. Some people are shaped like an inverted pyramid and for a man in our society, that is often considered attractive. But people come in, or grow into, a wider variety of shapes. A pear shape is common. If that pear shape, shall we say ‘ripens’ too much, the person might be considered obese.
People who try to come close to one of today’s idealized body types may spend a lot of time in exercise activities, such as running around the track in a high school stadium, or doing other things that involve a significant expenditure of energy. They forget that they can get hurt doing those things.
We’ve all heard: “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” I think that’s good advice. It is much safer to just stay home and eat an apple, especially one that is mounted on a stick and covered in caramel and nuts!
