And now, Words and Their Stories, from VOA Learning English.Today we talk about expressions that remind us to be healthy and have a healthy lifestyle.Benjamin Franklin often gets credit for some very famous healthy lifestyle sayings.Here is one about planning your day: "The early bird gets the worm."Of course, we're not talking about an actual worm.This means the person who arrives first has the best chance of success.It can also mean the person who gets up early before anyone else will be more prepared for the day and, therefore, more prepared for success.That is why he also reportedly said, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."The meaning of this expression is pretty clear.It means that going to bed and waking up early may lead to success and better health.
