You're going to be eating for the rest of your life.

And over time, that gap becomes larger and larger between where you will be when

you're making healthy choices and where you will be when you don't.

The older we get, the more quickly our body will break down if you're not taking care of it.

And we can preserve and mitigate a lot of the negative effects of aging

by taking care of ourselves, by the daily maintenance.
