"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."- John F. Kennedy

What this quote means to me is so many things. For me, it has different meanings. For example, one thing that this quote is telling us is that it is always important to have a healthy body and to be healthy. The reason why i think this is because if you are healthy, then that means that you are eating well, which can help you a lot, especially in school. If you have a good breakfast, then you obviously will learn a lot, and be full of energy. That way you can become intelligent. To add on, if you do not eat, then it will have you just thinking about food. If that does happen, then you obviously will not be learning well, because you are just thinking about food. This will distract you from what is important, which is your education. This is why it is always important that you make sure that you eat well, and that will make you healthy, and that means being healthy and always learning in school. This is why i believe that this quote says that being healthy is not only important for having a healthy body, but it can help you in many things. When the quote says "Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy", it means that if you are healthy, it will help you become a better person. You will be full of energy, which is a very good thing. This is what i think that John F. Kennedy meant by this.
