When you ask someone what is the key to a healthy life, they'll actually tell you,

don't get older. And as I approach my 48th birthday, I'm starting to realize that as you get older,

there are a lot of health and age-related changes that our body undergoes.

Now many of you think, well, 40 isn't that old.

But if you've crossed 30, you'll realize that there are a lot of things that change in your

body that you couldn't do when you were in your early 20s.

For example, if you go out at night and spend a few hours with your friends drinking and having a

great time at the bar or at a club if you're somewhere that has one of those in this day and

age, you'll realize that the after effects the next morning are significantly more pronounced.

In fact, hangovers now last about two days.

The reason why you have those hangovers, well it's actually

all due to dehydration, but at the end of the day, two days is a lot worse than one when you were in your

20s. It always seems like you wake up with an achy back or your neck is problematic.

The reason for this, well as you get older, so do wake up with an achy back or your neck is problematic.

The reason for this, well as you get older,

so do all the muscles in your body.

In fact, some nights you go to bed feeling fine

and you wake up with a sprained ankle.

In your 20s, you have friends who have the hookups, hookups to hockey games, hookup to

basketball games, hookups to get into that high-class fancy bar. Now your hookups are friends who are in health care,

people who can tell you what your x-ray means, do you actually have a life-threatening illness?

Is that rash and STD or are you just developing a sensitivity to latex?
