Some foods are better in helping keep bones, teeth, skin and blood. Among these foods are fruit, vegetables, milk and cheese. If you eat slowly you will never overeat. Never swallow your food.

Second, the person who drinks will become unfit for his duties. Both health and character are often ruined.
