About this quote

Most people spend more time maintaining their cars than taking care of their physical health. We feed ourselves junk and skip sleep, yet expect our physical frame to perform perfectly under constant abuse. But you cannot run a high-performance engine on cheap fuel forever. What did you put into your mouth today? It is time to treat your physical self with the respect it needs to carry you through life.

When to use it

• When you are about to order a third consecutive night of greasy takeout because you are too tired to cook. You stop and realize your physical health deserves real food, not cheap garbage.
• A runner is tempted to skip their warm-up and stretch routine to save ten minutes. They decide against it, knowing that cutting corners leads directly to injuries.
• An accountant is pulling an all-nighter for tax season, fueled by four energy drinks. He realizes he is destroying his focus for a deadline and decides to sleep for six hours instead.
• After a stressful week at the office, a friend invites you out for heavy drinking. You choose to go home, drink water, and get a full night of rest instead.
